My Story
This is my beautiful sister, Jaye, who died by suicide 16 years ago at the age of 19. From the depths of grief over those years, I've been on a journey of self-discovery. Having also sat in the 'client chair' a lot myself, I understand the courage it takes to seek support and allow someone to witness the deepest parts of your inner world. This path has led me to find a profound appreciation for life and revealed a calling and purpose in counselling.
Blue Jay Counselling and the work I pour my heart into are a living tribute to Jaye and the deep healing I've found within myself. The Blue Jay symbolises open communication, inner clarity, and the interconnectedness that binds us all.
​
I want to offer you a safe and compassionate space to gently explore your own challenges and complexities, to find hope and your unique path to healing. No matter where you are, please know that it's always possible to find a fresh start or a new path.
