Many of my clients arrive feeling low in confidence, stuck in family or friendship struggles, or weighed down by loss, trauma, anxiety or big life transitions. They leave calmer, clearer, and more like themselves again. Clients often tell me they walk into my room, exhale deeply, and finally feel safe enough to let go. They feel listened to, respected, and gently challenged in ways that help them understand themselves more fully.
With 30+ years in psychotherapy, life coaching and NHS mental health nursing, I bring a rare mix of depth, practicality and compassion. I don’t rely on scripts or models, I blend psychotherapy, coaching tools and mind–body approaches so every session is tailored to what you need in that moment.
I specialise in working with women navigating confidence issues, relationship and communication struggles, loss, trauma, depression, anxiety, identity questions, perimenopause and major life changes. Many of my clients also identify with ADHD and/or Autism. I offer a free 15 minute, we both need to feel comfortable together
