I know what it’s like to feel lost, overwhelmed, or disconnected from oneself. That personal journey led me to discover ways to reconnect with my truer, more contented self. Counselling became a natural extension of that learning. I now work with clients who want to understand themselves more deeply and feel more at home in their own lives with increased authenticity and peace. I use a gentle, compassionate approach towards enhanced self-awareness and understanding. Whether you're facing anxiety, stress, life transitions, or just a sense that something’s not quite right — I offer a calm, supportive space to come home to yourself.

We all go through life events. At times more intense and at times quite bearable. If you are struggling with mental health, medical, relational or life difficulties, would like to feel more in control, feel stuck or need some objective help, guidance or coping skills, make contact and get the process started.

Therapy is a specialized conversation, which is both a science and an art. It creates a deep relational connection and a safe space, where we can heal, grow stronger, or just move forward. We do this by discovering who we are, what we want, and how to get there. I am passionate about meeting people, journeying with them, facilitating change, and watching as they become more at ease within themself, with others, their world, and spirituality.

My clients are often driven entrepreneurs who appear to 'have it all together' externally yet internally they are struggling with negative emotions, conflicted thoughts and/or relationship difficulties. This is impacting the quality of their decision making and effectiveness as a leader while also contributing towards a general dissatisfaction in life. Although I love working with businesspeople, I welcome all enquiries from anyone who has a genuine desire to improve the quality of their life.

Many of the women I work with are in midlife or navigating menopause, feeling weighed down by anxiety, self-doubt, low confidence, or the sense of being “stuck.” Their goal isn’t just to cope - they want to feel calm, capable, and confident as they step into this next stage of life on their own terms.

My ideal client is someone who feels stuck—overwhelmed by anxiety, relationship strain, unresolved trauma, or the weight of past experiences. They may be searching for clarity, confidence, and emotional stability, wanting healthier connections and a stronger sense of self. They’re ready for change, even if unsure where to begin. What they want most is to feel heard, supported, and empowered to heal, grow, and build a life that finally feels calm, meaningful, and authentically their own.

Neuro-Linguistic (NLP) Counsellors
How does neuro-linguistic programming work?
A therapist using Neuro-linguistic programming might start by building a strong rapport and gathering information about the client’s objectives and any problem areas. Then the NLP therapist will employ NLP techniques to guide their client toward healthier thoughts and behaviours. Clients will learn how to better manage their moods and hone their communication skills. NLP will conclude with the therapist and client making a plan for how to integrate the positive changes into their daily life in the future.

What are some techniques used in neuro-linguistic programming?
NLP therapists often employ anchoring, so the client begins to automatically associate their trigger with a healthier response. Clients also learn how to reframe a situation to change the way they react to it for the better, and how to replace the negative beliefs that are holding them back. Many NLP clients practice visualisation or forming a mental image of themselves attaining their goals. Every NLP therapist will have their own preferred approach with specific techniques that they have found to be helpful for their clients.

How long does neuro-linguistic programming take?
Since neuro-linguistic programming is not regulated, the length of treatment can vary greatly. Some therapists may only use NLP in a single session, while others may employ it over the course of weeks, months, or even years. It depends greatly on the type and severity of the problem being treated, as well as the individual client’s response to NLP treatment.

Is neuro-linguistic programming evidence-based?
While some people may find neuro-linguistic programming helpful, either in therapy or in their career or personal development, the science behind this approach is inconclusive. Most of the available studies are small in scale and have produced mixed results, and the commercial nature of NLP lends itself to conflicts of interest. More research is needed. In the meantime, practitioners must use their best judgment of whether NLP techniques will be helpful in meeting their clients’ individual needs.
