I help my clients get back to being their best self through my counselling and empowering therapy.
I am passionate about mental health & (physical) fitness and believe strongly in the mind & body connection and how they interact together and influence our wellbeing.
In light of this and as a qualified personal trainer, I now offer eco-therapy with my new walk & talk therapy, which is proving extremely popular.
Everyone is different and unique and so are the issues they are facing. People are affected in a myriad of ways and respond in their own different ways.
Therefore I do not have a one-size-fits-all approach and will use my experience to use the methods that we both feel will work best for you.
Experience
In most cases a good therapist or counsellor will help you find meaning and give you the tools you need to cope better both now and in the future.

I started my counselling journey over 11 years ago when I lived in Malaysia after my marriage of 17 years suddenly ended in divorce.
At that time, with what felt like everything collapsing around me, I felt worthless, lost, almost helpless, and this in turn, caused extreme anxiety and stress.
Being in a foreign country with no job also added to my stress and anxiety levels.
Before leaving Malaysia, I had tried to kid myself that I would get back to my best self under my own steam.
But I was struggling.
So after some intervention from a good friend, I reluctantly (at first) sought the help of a wonderful counsellor.
After the intervention, it helped me realise that it was all about perspective. This gave me a fresh outlook and increased my self belief.
The sessions inspired me to help other people through empowering therapy and so my journey began.
Now, I am happily remarried, a registered foster carer and have a career I am passionate about.
In my spare time, I run regular 5k and 10k’s and walk my big, beautiful German shepherd.
Although my private practise is busy, I still volunteer and I am proud to be a mentor with Girls Out Loud.
GirlsAloud is a wonderful organisation that helps, supports and mentors teenage girls to believe in themselves.
