I help people experiencing emotional distress, trauma or grief, or striving to create a nurturing home amid complex family dynamics. You may feel overwhelmed, uncertain and longing for relief. You need to reduce distress, improve communication, build confidence, resilience and stronger relationships. You want practical strategies, gentle insights and compassionate guidance that honours your experience and empowers you to find balance, hope and meaning. We work at your pace. You may also be supporting loved ones with autism or ADHD; together we tailor routines and coping tools to reclaim wellbeing and connection.
Drawing on 14+ years’ experience in trauma-informed counselling, supporting ASD, family dynamics and parenting, I offer evidence-based approaches, tailored strategies and compassionate care with insight. I work flexibly to suit your schedule and preferences, helping you face challenges, build resilience and leverage your strengths, sparking lasting change.
I know how isolating it can feel when challenges pile up and hope seems distant. You deserve support that truly hears and honours your experience. I’m here to listen, validate and guide you with warmth and understanding. If this resonates, consider taking a courageous step: reaching out can open the door to relief, clearer perspective and renewed resilience.
