You may have spent years covering something.

You might be more aware of who's looking than you'd like to be.

Perhaps you prepare explanations before anyone has even asked.

Or you've avoided photographs, clothes, relationships, places or experiences because of how you might be seen.

Or perhaps you're supporting someone you love and you'd simply like to talk to someone who's lived with a visible difference his entire life.

You don't need to have a problem to solve.

You might just want to talk to someone who gets it.

It's exactly what it sounds like.

We meet privately over video for an hour and start with:

"Tell me what's going on."

I'll listen.

I'll ask questions.

And where something in your experience overlaps with mine, I'll share what I've learned from living visibly different for 48 years.

There isn't a program to follow or an outcome you're supposed to reach.

It's simply an honest conversation and some space to explore what being different, being seen, or worrying about how others see you has meant in your life.

You may leave seeing something differently, recognise a behaviour or assumption you hadn't noticed before, or simply feel heard.

That's enough.

Talk With Kris may be for you if you're living with a visible difference — a birthmark, scar, alopecia, vitiligo, facial difference, disability, skin condition or another characteristic that has influenced how comfortable you feel being seen.

It may also be for you if you're supporting someone who is visibly different and would value the perspective of someone who has lived that experience himself.

And you don't need to know exactly what you want to talk about before you book.

If you've followed my work and simply thought:

"I'd really like to talk to this guy."

That's enough too.

I was born with a large port-wine stain birthmark covering much of my face.

For a long time, I organised parts of my life around how other people might react to it.

I covered it.

I positioned myself differently.

I anticipated questions.

I worried about being seen.

Over time, my relationship with my birthmark — and with myself — changed.

I've since written VISIBLE, created the Born Different podcast, spoken publicly about visible difference and spent countless hours talking with people whose experiences are different from mine, but whose feelings are often remarkably familiar.

I'm not talking about this because I studied it.

I've lived it.

Talk With Kris™ is based on my personal lived experience and is intended as peer conversation and support.

I'm not a therapist, psychologist or counsellor, and these conversations aren't mental-health treatment or a substitute for professional mental-health care.

I won't diagnose you, prescribe treatment or tell you how you should live your life.

I'll simply meet you where you are, listen, share where it's useful, and explore the conversation with you.
