I’ve always been curious about people — why we behave the way we do, and how our life experiences make us who we are today.

For more than 20 years, I have worked with children and families, developing a deep understanding of child development, learning and behaviour. This developmental perspective continues to influence the way I work today.

An Holistic Approach to Healing

I came to counselling as a parent looking for answers. I wanted to understand why my daughter was so angry and frustrated in the afternoons when I picked her up from school. The behaviour simply didn’t fit with her gentle nature.

This curiosity led me to train as a Developmental Practitioner, supporting children with learning, behaviour challenges using a developmental approach.

Along the way, I realised that parents also needed support. They were carrying their own stresses and tensions, as well as concerns about their children’s wellbeing.

That led me into holistic counselling and psychotherapy.

Today I bring together my  background in child development, holistic counselling, Process-Oriented Psychology (Process work), attachment and relationship work, as well as my own personal life experiences.

My approach is also informed by my study of Spiritual Science, bringing a broader, more holistic understanding of who we are as human beings — in body, mind and spirit.

We Don’t Exist in Isolation

Our lives are shaped by the world we live in – our relationships, our family stories, our culture, the communities we grow up in, and the environments that surround us.

Our early experiences can continue to influence how we see ourselves and respond in the world, often without us realising it.

Healing for Lifelong Change

For me, counselling isn’t about quick-fixes, devising labels, analysing your behaviour or telling you what to do. It’s about creating a space that enables you to reconnect with yourself, discover your own inner wisdom, and find new ways of being in the world.

I believe that healing starts the moment we feel seen, heard and understood, growing through deep, authentic human connection, and meeting you where you are at in your life.

I like to see healing as a spiral, a continual process of personal growth in awareness and understanding.

Finding Your Self

Many of us spend years trying to be who we think we should be – trying to please others, to conform and live to expectations. It’s easy to lose sight of who we really are, and the unique gifts we bring to the world.

I’ve sat where you are, looking for answers, searching for my unique voice and going on my own journey of self-discovery.

This ongoing journey continues to shape my work  as a counsellor and psychotherapist.

Whether you’re looking for support with parenting, your relationship, or your own personal journey, I’d love to help you understand yourself more deeply, bringing more calm connection into your life.
