As a counsellor and coach, I offer a compassionate, creative space where we can work together to reflect, understand, and make sense of your story, either as an individual or as a couple.

Grounded in Transactional Analysis, Counselling sessions support you to explore relationships—both with yourself and with others—and to navigate the transition points that shape your life.

Coaching sessions help you reconnect with your values, passion, and sense of purpose, offering clarity and confidence as you take meaningful steps forward.

Whether you are facing challenges or seeking direction for your next chapter, you will be met with warmth, empathy, and curiosity, and supported to move at a pace that feels right for you.

Nothing ever goes away until it has taught us what we need to know..
— Pema Chodron

Counselling

I believe counselling helps us make sense of our lives, particularly during times of change, loss, or uncertainty. The  therapeutic relationship is unique, offering a safe and compassionate space where you will be fully seen, heard, and accepted. Working together, we will explore the relationship you have with yourself and others, and challenges you may be experiencing. Sessions may also explore how important life transitions are impacting you.

Whether you’re experiencing difficulties in a work or a romantic relationship, or within a family or friendship, I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, both individually or as a couple.

Perhaps you’re facing a personal or career transition, are affected by illness or bereavement, or know that something feels ‘wrong’.

These experiences may be affecting your identity and self-esteem, and be accompanied by anxiety, stress, or depression.

Whatever you are experiencing, I will work alongside you to find meaning and clarity.

Some clients I work with may:

Struggle with a specific issue in the present

Feel held back by past experiences

Want to explore the impact of a traumatic event

Experience a general sense of unease or disconnection

Want to work through relationship challenges in a supportive space

I am committed to holding space for you to make sense of whatever you are experiencing, and to find a way forward

Coaching

As a Transformational Coach, I am passionate about supporting my clients to curate meaningful lives aligned with their authentic values. Our sessions will support you to identify your passion and purpose, articulate and challenge internal and external blocks, and build the confidence to forge your own unique path.

Coaching is recognised as a powerful tool for improving performance and enhancing personal effectiveness, and by working together we can create a life that feels purposeful, intentional, and truly aligned with who you are.

Some clients I work with may:

Be at a transition stage in life and seeking clarity around next steps 

Be overwhelmed and heading for burnout

Be looking to strengthen their relationships and communicate more effectively

Want to explore their values, purpose and what’s important to them

Are you ready to take the next courageous step forward?

Tell me, what do you intend to do with this one wild and precious life?
