Hello I’m Gill Kenny
I’m Gill – an Irish writer and counsellor, now living in Perth, Australia. I write about the parts of life we don’t always talk about openly – addiction, relationships, self-worth, and what it takes to find your way back to yourself. My work is shaped by lived experience as much as training, and it’s for anyone who has ever questioned their place in the world and decided to reclaim it. If that resonates, you’re very welcome here.
Your writing helped me support a friend through addiction. I’ll always be grateful.
