About Spark
Hi, I'm Justin.
For much of my life, I have been someone who thinks deeply, feels deeply, and spends a lot of time reflecting on what it means to live a good life.
Like many people, I have experienced periods of anxiety, loneliness, uncertainty, heartbreak, and feeling lost. There have been times when I felt overwhelmed by my thoughts, disconnected from myself, and unsure of which direction to take.
One of the most important things I learned during those difficult periods was that healing doesn't always come from having the perfect answer.
Often, it begins with having a safe space to talk.
A space where you can slow down, speak openly, and feel genuinely heard without judgement.
That belief is what inspired me to create Spark.
Why I Created Spark
I created Spark because I saw how many people were carrying their struggles alone.
In a world that constantly tells us to be productive, successful, and have everything figured out, many people are quietly battling stress, anxiety, loneliness, relationship difficulties, self-doubt, or simply feeling stuck.
Sometimes we don't need someone to fix us.
Sometimes we simply need someone who will listen.
Spark is a calm, supportive space where people can talk openly about what they're experiencing, reflect on what's important to them, and gain clarity about where they want to go next.
My Approach
My approach is warm, person-centred, and grounded in genuine human connection.
I believe every person already possesses strengths, wisdom, and insight within them. Often these become difficult to access when life feels overwhelming.
Rather than telling people what they should do, I aim to provide a supportive environment where they can explore their thoughts, feelings, challenges, and goals at their own pace.
I want people to leave a session feeling lighter, clearer, and less alone.
My Background
I hold degrees in:
Behavioural Science
Speech Pathology
Communications & Media
These studies provided me with a strong foundation in communication, human behaviour, wellbeing, and supporting people through challenges.
I am also committed to ongoing learning and professional development in counselling, mental wellbeing, and reflective practice.
A Few Things I Love
Outside of Spark, you'll often find me:
Walking in nature
Exploring beautiful places
Reading philosophy and psychology
Filming videos and creating content
Spending time near the ocean
Appreciating the small moments that make life meaningful
Nature has taught me many of the lessons I try to bring into Spark: patience, presence, simplicity, and the importance of slowing down.
You're Welcome Here
Whatever you're carrying right now, you don't have to carry it alone.
If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, lonely, or simply need a space to talk, I'd be honoured to walk alongside you for a while.
Welcome to Spark.
A calm space to reflect and feel heard.
