About me

Hello!

I’m Gavin, founder of Whole Being Counselling, where I offer counselling and psychotherapy in a compassionate and non-judgmental space where you can slow down, feel heard, and make sense of what you’re going through.

My work is grounded in psychology and evidence-based psychotherapy modalities. At times, we may explore psychological patterns, emotions, and life stories to gain clarity and insight into your experiences.

Together, we learn how to work with difficult thoughts and feelings, untangle painful patterns, and find meaning and direction — so that suffering feels less overwhelming and life feels more grounded.
