Sage Enslin, BSc

Wellness Counselor

verified by TherapyRoute

I work with people from all walks of life who are navigating the ups and downs of being human. If you're feeling stressed, grieving, or just trying to figure out your next chapter, I’m here to help. I provide a supportive space where we can tackle your challenges together.

About Me

My perspective is shaped by my own journey as an Autistic, ADHD person, a high-performance athlete, and a parent.

Approach

My focus is on behavioural health and how our actions and lifestyle impact how we feel. I often use a humanistic, person-centred approach. I believe you have everything you need within you to live a great life. No "one-size-fits-all" advice; just real, personalised strategies to help you feel more resilient.
