Experiencing crippling fear within the confines of your own mind can be profoundly debilitating...
As a burn survivor at 2 years old, I've had an intimate relationship with fear throughout most of my life. I understand firsthand how life can become limiting and challenging when you don't feel safe on the most fundamental level. I've dedicated years to working on and through my fears, and I've acquired a profound understanding of the nature of fear and a valuable toolkit to guide and assist you in navigating your journey.
Fear will continue to sabotage you unless you learn to change your perception of it and the power it has over you.
Being able to control and direct your life in a conscious manner is the essence of living in your power.
It isn't out of reach, its merely been buried under years of programming and trauma you've experienced.
If fear is holding you back from living the life you desire, I am here to be your ally on the path to reclaim your power. Take the first step towards empowerment by scheduling a session with me today.

Specialization:
As a Fear Specialist, I understand that fear can manifest in various forms, from specific phobias to generalized anxiety. I specialize in helping individuals navigate and overcome these fears, fostering a sense of empowerment and resilience. Whether it's the fear of the unknown, social anxiety, or specific triggers, I provide tailored support to address the root causes and build lasting solutions.
Approach to Counselling:
I employ a holistic and client-centered approach to counselling. By creating a collaborative and non-judgmental environment, I empower clients to explore the origins of their fears, challenge limiting beliefs, and develop practical strategies for managing and overcoming them.

Integrity is a fundamental part of who I am and it is the value I hold the highest. It means that I consistently strive to do what is right, even when no one is watching. I uphold a strong moral and ethical code, and I am committed to being honest, transparent, and trustworthy in all my actions and interactions. Integrity is the foundation of my character, and it guides me to make decisions that align with my values and principles, even when faced with challenges or temptations.
Empathy is a defining quality that I hold close to my heart. It allows me to deeply understand and share in the feelings and experiences of others. When someone is joyful, I celebrate with them, and when they are in pain, I feel their sorrow. Empathy helps me forge strong connections with people, as I can relate to their emotions, perspectives, and struggles. It drives me to be a compassionate and supportive presence in their lives, offering comfort and understanding. Empathy is not just a trait; it's a cornerstone of my ability to connect with and care for those I encounter on my life's journey.
Compassion is a core aspect of my character. I have a genuine and deep empathy for others, and I feel a strong desire to alleviate their suffering and support their well-being. I believe in the power of kindness, understanding, and a helping hand. I strive to be a compassionate presence in the lives of those around me, whether it's through active listening, acts of kindness, or simply being there to offer support when needed. Compassion is not just a value I hold; it's a guiding principle that shapes how I connect with and care for people in my life.

SUCCESS STORIES
"Brendan started to help me 6 years ago, shortly after I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. The diagnosis was a huge shock to me and frightened me to the point that I didn't really want to be alive. I started treatment with Brendan and noticed a huge difference instantly in how I felt towards my diagnosis. It didn't seem as daunting and I left every session feeling very positive. Since then he has been instrumental in my physical and mental healing! I honestly don't know where I would be without his help."
