Ryan James

As a passionate and empathetic trainee counsellor, I bring a deep commitment to supporting mental health and overcoming the stigma around talking about it—particularly for men, who often struggle in silence. I’ve long held a strong interest in emotional wellbeing and have turned that passion into purposeful action by pursuing formal counselling training. My goal is to help others navigate life’s challenges with greater self-understanding, resilience, and hope. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. My background in construction which has equipped me with strong communication and problem solving skills as well as a genuine sensitivity to the diverse experiences people face. I am reflective, open to feedback, and dedicated to learning and growing within this profession. I’m now ready to actively make a difference, one conversation at a time, as I continue developing into a skilled and compassionate counsellor.
