Alongside my professional training, I bring lived experience of navigating life’s challenges. While every person’s story is unique, my own experiences have deepened my appreciation of the courage it takes to ask for support and strengthened my belief in people’s capacity for healing and growth.

I have particular experience supporting adult survivors of sexual abuse, childhood trauma and bereavement. I bring lived experience of both trauma and loss, providing a deep appreciation of how these experiences can ripple through families, relationships and everyday life. Rather than making assumptions, these experiences have taught me to approach each person's story with curiosity, compassion and respect, recognising that there is no right way to grieve, heal or move forward.

Supporting my counselling training I am a Rieki practitioner, focusing on the energies and emotions held in the body. This strengthens my appreciation of how our bodies carry our experience.

I have had my own wandering path to here… through corporate world of advertising and marketing, parenthood and running a smallholding produce business.

While nature is my safe place where I rejuvenate and wonder at the world, I love to be immersed in the energy, diversity and vitality of citylife.

I don’t believe therapy is about changing who you are. I believe it’s about holding the space to allow you to understand yourself more deeply and reconnect with your strengths to foster self compassion and discovery to feel what it’s like to truly belong to yourself.Alongside my professional training, I bring lived experience of navigating life’s challenges.
