In Counselling sessions, I create a safe space for you to share what's causing emotional upset, or what you'd like to achieve. I'm a University trained Clinical Counsellor, and have been in private practice for over 2 decades. I assist people to navigate any life transitions, moving from pain and suffering with as much ease as possible. My therapeutic approach is not a cookie-cutter one - I work collaboratively with you in a relational way, helping you to become your own 'expert'. My work is trauma-informed and is centred on the principles of safety, choice and trust.

I bring my whole self and heart into client sessions, and my holistic approach is grounded in Person-centred therapy, Inner child work and re-parenting, Somatic experiencing, Terry Real's Relational approach, Energy psychology (EFT) and NLP (neuro-linguistic programming). I create a safe space for you to share what's causing emotional upset, or what you'd like to achieve. My role is to assist you to flourish. To respond more effectively and positively in your relationships with others and in your life generally. We'll also work together to highlight your emotional resources and innate strengths

Most of my work is with women who've experienced trauma and other emotional pain in childhood, and I specialiise in Mother and Daughter healing. As a daughter, mother of daughters, and grandmother, I'm experienced and equipped to support women to navigate this relationship with self-compassion and forgiveness. I also have extensive experience in the areas of Anxiety and Depression, Intimacy and Relationships, TRAUMA and PTSD. My work is trauma-informed and is centred on the principles of safety, choice and trust. Research has shown that for any change to occur, the therapeutic relationship is paramount. So I encourage you to browse my website and who I am, as it's important that you find a Counsellor who you resonate with.

Navigating Midlife and Beyond Mentoring is a recent addition - for people experiencing challenges or questions around this time.
My approach is unique in that as an older therapist having peeled off many layers and practised many healing paths for 4 decades, I have the lived experience, clinical tools and empathy of how it is to navigate this road. I've also been researching and writing about this chapter of life for over 10 years. This era often comes with big life questions and even anxiety and fear about one's future. It can also be a time for re-invention, to reclaiming one's life after children have flown, to changing careers, or going it alone for the first time. It can be joyful - but it depends on your approa....
