With an informal style, my aim is to provide a safe space and environment for those who wish to talk about life experiences as they progress through whatever journey they face. We all have our own learning and comfort styles, so I would certainly aim to amend the style used if it suits for a more comfortable setting.

With work experience ranging from security for the most prominent political buildings in Edinburgh like the US Consulate, Scottish Parliament, Edinburgh airport and the City Chambers, to working on film sets as an actor for shows like Vigil, Buccaneers, The Rig and Good Omens, my experiences have certainly hit either ends of the spectrum. Trying to figure out where someone like me belongs in a world that has quite often told me no has been a challenge, but this has absolutely given me the ability to learn and understand how others operate and an outlook on life which I believe has helped many people in the past when spending time talking to them.

Ultimately, I don't wish to have a set plan when these meetings start, as certain experiences and situations might take precedence over others, but my overall goal would be to give you support and help you with the "invisible backpack" that we all carry.

For me, the world has been an incredibly scary place and trying to find my home is still an ongoing mission, but I've also learned that my ability to connect and conversate with people isn't like most others due to my experiences, so I believe that offering a service to talk to others who might feel lost in the world that we live in is vital in todays day and age.
