WayFinding Counseling

I’ve had the privilege of traveling to breathtaking places around the world—the snow-capped Alps of Switzerland, the serene Mediterranean waters off the coast of France, the rugged mountains of Banff, Canada. And yet, in every journey, I’ve found myself getting lost—sometimes just a little, sometimes in ways that reshaped how I see the world. Getting lost, I believe, is necessary. It forces us to ask questions we may never have considered, leading to insights that wouldn’t have surfaced otherwise. The practice of wayfinding fascinates me. Regardless of age, status, career, cultural background, nationality, or political beliefs, we are all, in some way, trying to find our way. In M.R. O'Connor’s Wayfinding: The Science and Mystery of How Humans Navigate the World, I was moved by how Aboriginal Australians use dreaming tracks and songlines—deep narratives passed through generations—to guide them to watering holes, hunting grounds, and sacred lands. Their wayfinding isn’t just about direction; it’s about meaning, memory, and connection. I believe we, too, navigate life by paying attention to the stories we tell ourselves. Our inner narratives shape how we see the world, how we heal, and how we move forward. I’d love to hear your story. And perhaps, together, we can find our way
