I am a generalist counsellor who supports people who are struggling with chronic illness, anxiety, life changes, or general 'stuckness'. I have a holistic understanding of wellbeing informed by more than 25 years of professional experience in animal welfare and education, and my personal journey. I have observed how experiences of stress, trauma, loss, and the need for safety and connection are shared across all beings. With an academic background and enquiring mind I love to keep learning and being challenged to achieve the best for my clients.
I've trained in positive neuroplasticity and strive to empower clients by developing their understanding of their nervous system and how to work with it to reduce anxiety, pain or fatigue, and to health achieve goals. I have lived experience of the power of this approach and am passionate about now helping others.
My natural empathy and compassion flows to all living things. If you are struggling or just feel you need someone to talk to, I am here. Please reach out for an initial chat - the first step to a happier you!
