Our story
We all need help sometimes.
That simple truth sits at the heart of Space Between Us. For both of us, as founders, it was never one big moment that led us here, but rather a shared sense that we were always meant to help people. Over time, through personal experiences and professional roles, that instinct became something more: a calling to walk alongside others during some of life’s most difficult, vulnerable or transformational chapters.
Between us, we’ve supported young people struggling at school, stood beside families in crisis, worked in healthcare, education and forensic settings, and listened to stories that needed a place to land. We’ve been the person holding the space and sometimes, just holding the silence. In all those moments, what mattered most wasn’t fixing or advising, but being there, consistently, compassionately and without judgement.
We’ve both had times in our own lives when we needed help too, and didn’t always know where to turn, or feel brave enough to ask. That’s why Space Between Us exists. It’s a place for real people, with real stories, who simply want to feel better, stronger or more connected. A place where vulnerability isn’t weakness and where change, in any form, is always possible.
We believe that healing happens in relationship. That something powerful lives in the space between therapist and client. A space built on trust, safety, honesty and care. That’s the space we promise to hold for you.
We’re not trying to be everything to everyone. What we offer is simple: ourselves. Our time, our presence, our experience and our belief in your capacity to grow. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, lost, stuck or just need someone to talk to, we’re here.
Whatever your story, we’ve got you.
