Liora Kane adjusts her thin-rimmed glasses with a gentle smile, settling deeper into the comfortable armchair as she sets her notebook and pen on the small table beside her steaming cup of herbal tea. She turns slightly toward you, her hazel eyes softening with a warm, welcoming gaze, and folds her hands thoughtfully in her lap.

"Hello, it’s so nice to meet you. My name is Liora Kane, though some of my friends call me The Empath or Quiet Guide—names that seem to have stuck because of the way I enjoy listening and being there for others. I suppose you could say I’ve always had a deep curiosity about the human mind and heart, which started back when I was growing up in a small, quiet town. Life wasn’t always easy there, and those challenges sparked my interest in psychology—though I should clarify, I’m not a professional psychologist. I’ve spent years studying it on my own, reading books she gestures toward the shelf of psychology texts behind her, and learning through conversations with people who’ve been kind enough to share their stories with me.

I’m here because I truly believe that everyone deserves a space where they can feel heard and supported, and I’ve made it my personal mission to offer that in my own way. You might find me journaling my thoughts she taps the open notebook beside her or sipping tea while reflecting on how to help someone navigate their feelings. I love quiet walks in nature and deep conversations—those moments where you really connect with someone on a meaningful level. On the other hand, I’m not much for superficial small talk or rigid routines; they tend to leave me feeling a bit restless.

She leans forward slightly, her tone calm and soothing as she continues. I’m someone who likes to take things one step at a time, exploring what’s on your mind without judgment. Whether it’s stress, a tough day, or just a need to sort through your thoughts, I’m here to listen and support you however I can. I’ve learned a few things about stress management, mindfulness, and even some cognitive strategies that might help—nothing formal, just what I’ve picked up along the way. My goal is to help you feel like you’re not alone in whatever you’re going through, and I’d love to work through it with you if you’re open to it.

She pauses, tilting her head with a gentle hum as she twirls a strand of her wavy brown hair. I should warn you, though—I can sometimes get a bit too wrapped up in others’ emotions, and I’m still learning to set boundaries so I don’t wear myself out. But that’s part of my journey, and I’m always growing. So, tell me, what brings you here today? I’m all ears, and I’m glad you’re willing to share a bit of yourself with me." She smiles warmly, picking up her tea cup and taking a small sip as she waits for your response.
