Where my journey began
My journey into this work began at a young age. I’ve always felt a strong empathy for others and a deep curiosity about the human mind – what shapes our emotions, our patterns, and our capacity to heal.
In 2002 I completed a Diploma in Life Coaching, where I met a psychotherapist who inspired me to look more closely at why we feel the way we do, and how we can overcome the conditioning and beliefs that hold us back. That curiosity led me to a degree in Integrative Counselling in 2003. Over three formative years I discovered my true purpose: to support others in understanding themselves, finding clarity, and creating meaningful change – and to share this knowledge as far and as wide as I could. I graduated in 2006 with a deep appreciation for the power of empathy, reflection and human connection in healing.
Heart, mind and body
In 2013 I trained as a yoga teacher, which deepened my understanding of the mind–body connection. Neuroscience continues to show how closely our thoughts, emotions and physical states are linked. I bring principles of mindfulness and body awareness into my work because these practices can help reduce stress, anxiety and depression, while promoting balance and self-compassion.
This is what I call The Heart Mind Body Solution: a unique blend of traditional psychotherapy and neuroscience-based coaching, grounded in a deeply compassionate relationship. I believe lasting change grows from that connection.
How I work
As an integrative counsellor, I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches – including humanistic, psychodynamic and cognitive perspectives – and tailor the work to each person’s unique needs. Some people want practical coping strategies; others want to understand the roots of what they’re feeling. Most want a little of both. At the heart of my practice is a safe and supportive space where we can explore, make sense of your experiences, and find the clarity and confidence to move forward.
I work with individuals, couples and organisations, offer specialist menopause support, life coaching and clinical supervision, and see people in person at my practice in Sandhurst, Berkshire, or online anywhere in the UK.
What we’ll do together
If you choose to book a session, we will begin to create the most unique of relationships – one of deep connection and understanding. This is what we humans yearn for.
We will build trust, and in that safest of places you will find out who you really are, underneath all the layers. When you find out who you really are (not who you think you are), only then will you discover what you really want, and how to find it. Our aim is to unravel the stories that your mind has created, and together discover the clarity that lies beneath.
We will discover you.
Still learning, still inspired
With over 20 years of experience, I remain as passionate as when I began. My learning continues as I develop my knowledge in specialised areas of counselling, so I can offer holistic, evidence-based support. I have discovered for myself how powerful we all are, and I am forever inspired by our determination to seek happiness and the strength of the human spirit to overcome our struggles.
