Meet Calum

My experiences and interests give me a unique understanding of…

  • How hard it can be to keep going when life feels heavy or uncertain

  • What it’s like to be in environments where you’re expected to stay strong, even when things feel hard

  • The quiet toll of always taking care of others, while putting your own needs on hold

  • How stress and anxiety can slowly build up and affect everything — sleep, relationships, focus, self-worth

  • Life transitions like becoming a parent, shifting careers, or adjusting to something you didn’t choose

  • What it’s like to experience the world with a brain that works a little differently — and how that can be both challenging and a strength

  • The healing power of time outdoors, meaningful conversations, and feeling truly understood

  • The emotional ups and downs that can come with sport, especially around injury, performance, and identity

My clients describe me using words like…

  • Calm

  • Thoughtful

Booking FAQ

Does Calum offer direct billing with my insurance? Or how does payment work?

First Session charges each session directly to your credit card. Once each session occurs and your card is charged, you’ll receive a PDF receipt by email with all the details you need to get reimbursed (therapist name, designation, license number, address, etc.). You can then submit the receipt to your insurance company for reimbursement if you have coverage. We always recommend checking your coverage with your provider before booking.

How do I know if Calum is a good fit?

You are the expert when it comes to knowing who’s the right fit. Watch the therapist’s video at the top of their profile and see whether the message and energy resonate. If you feel drawn to speak with them, listen to your gut — booking a free consultation is a great first step to assess fit.

What if I see no available times to book a session?

If the therapist is listed as accepting clients and you see no available times, it’s likely they haven’t updated their availability (sorry about that!). In this case, you can contact Calum to see what times they have available.

Can I contact Calum before booking an appointment?

If you still have questions before booking that can’t be answered during your free consultation, you can contact Calum using this form.
