WHO MY CLIENTS ARE
Primarily, my clients encompass unique individuals and couples navigating challenges in their relationships. Individuals seeking individual counselling are aged 18 and above, opting for early intervention mental health counselling that prioritises solutions over problems. I am dedicated to understanding the distinctive experiences of each client, addressing a broad spectrum of everyday issues affecting their overall well-being. For those wrestling with the demands of work and home life, I provide support to navigate through mental and physical exhaustion, facilitating the rediscovery of joy and balance.
Individuals who have reached a point of fatigue often report impacts on both personal and professional aspects of their lives, with symptoms such as muscle aches, pains, tension, tightness in the chest, clenched jaws, and nervousness. Common challenges include sleep disturbances and a disinterest in physical intimacy.
For couples seeking counselling, I extend my support to those facing challenges in their relationships. Whether dealing with communication issues, intimacy concerns, or navigating life transitions together, I create a safe and non-judgmental space for couples to explore and strengthen their connection.
My approach involves providing practical tools and strategies for both individuals and couples, empowering them to live life on their terms. Together, we work towards a future filled with hope, peace, capability, motivation, confidence, and a profound sense of worthiness.

ABOUT ME
I’m a qualified counsellor who made the decision to change career paths after decades in education, driven by a deep desire to do more meaningful, one-to-one work with people. While the transition took courage, it felt instinctively right—and it’s a decision I’ve never regretted.
I’m passionate about helping others navigate life’s challenges, whether that’s through exploring what matters most to them, understanding patterns in their relationships, or finding ways to move forward when things feel stuck. I offer a safe, non-judgemental space where you can talk freely and feel heard.
If you’re looking for someone to walk alongside you as you make sense of what’s going on and consider what’s next, I’d be honoured to support you.

I can’t wait to meet you!
