San's Work

About San

San decided to become a counsellor because he had family members and friends who had sought counselling, but had trouble finding a counsellor who was age appropriate, culturally sensitive, and understood generational divides. He saw that there was a gap in the therapy world and he felt he could fill the gap. San loves to see people change, grow and be able to do things they never thought they'd be able to do. He says that working as a counsellor helps him discover more about himself.
