About Me
I am a man in my 40s living in the Barry area with my two French bulldogs, who can be excitable at times. I am supported by the Vale Locality Mental Health Team. I can become overwhelmed and my mood can fluctuate, so I am looking for someone who is calm, patient, and understanding. I would value both practical and emotional support to help me manage day-to-day life and move forward positively. I have spent many years living in a stressful situation, and because I have been hurt in the past, I can find it difficult to build trust. Having the right support would help me make a fresh start and develop greater stability and confidence. I respond best to people who are respectful, consistent, and reassuring. My interests include martial arts and motorbikes. I also identify as Irish Traveller, which is an important part of who I am, and I would like to be supported by someone who is culturally aware and respectful.
