‘Not everything has to make sense to be true.’
Hazell Siow
Everyone carries stories,
Some are loud, some barely formed.
Not everything has a name.
Not everything wants a solution.
Some things just want to be felt.
You don’t have to be fixed to be held.
To be whole is not to be unbroken; it’s to return, fully, to yourself.
Personality
- Like water, fluid, adaptable, and deeply feeling
- Curious, often caught in small wonders
- Finds raw emotions beautiful, even the messy and aching kind
My Style & Professional Counselling Approach
Person Centered Therapy (PCT)
To me, human emotions are like art: raw, unpredictable, and profoundly beautiful. They don’t always arrive with clarity or order. Sometimes they come as silence, tension, or feelings we can’t name yet. That’s why I don’t rush insight. I sit with it.
My work is emotion-focused and person-centred: slow, intuitive, and grounded in presence. I’m not here to fix; I’m here to meet you, as you are. Some stories need time, some need stillness, and some just need someone to stay.
I often draw on metaphors, imagery, and creative reflection to help give shape to what feels blurry or tangled. Whether it’s grief, confusion, self-doubt, or even joy, you don’t quite know how to hold: we’ll explore it gently, without pressure to make sense of it too soon.
When you sit with me in counselling, know this: you are seen, you are heard, and you are valued. I’ll walk alongside you as you navigate your inner world, and together, we’ll hold space for the fullness of who you are, not just who you think you’re supposed to be.
