Hey, I'm Nigel (he/him)

I am a student of Yorkville University completing my Master's in the field of Psychology. A little about me is that I identify as a member of BIPOC with my background being Nigerian, Scottish and Irish and identifying as a male.

**Time does not heal wounds, it only teaches us how to live with pain**

Within our time together it will be a journey however long or short, but our joint goal I hope, is to takes steps towards betterment of yourself. Regrets, Traumas, Pains, Fears, all are issues that people develop and coming to therapy does not mean your problems are any less valuable then the next person. The bravest word in any language is **help** and together through whatever issues you are facing It would be my pleasure to work with you through these matters.

Being a member of BIPOC and a male it can be scary, but I promise that I will work my hardest for you and work together in a friendly, non-judgemental environment. I hope that we build our rapport together and develop ourselves through out sessions together. Moments of laughter, sadness, anger, happiness may all be experienced, but I hope to develop myself more and more and become someone you can depend on in future sessions.

I look forward to getting to know you and working together and I will leave you with two of my favourite quotes.

"We do have a lot in common. The same earth, the same air, the same sky. Maybe if we started looking at what’s the same, instead of looking at what’s different, well, who knows?”

"I See Now That The Circumstances Of One's Birth Are Irrelevant. It Is What You Do With The Gift Of Life That Determines Who You Are."

Filling one’s cup refers to making time for oneself and enjoying things that bring you happiness. Sounds easy. I want you to stop and think about what brings you happiness and think how many things you partake in that make you feel happy and how often.
