I have lived and worked in many different cultures and enjoy working with people from all over the world. I am LGBTQI+ friendly. I encourage my clients to work at their own pace and in the most natural way that suits them. I work in a trauma-informed way for people in crisis and help people who are feeling stuck to reconnect and excell.

I work with individuals, couples and families, listening to the feelings and needs to get to the heart of the matter.

Life can be challenging, and sometimes those challenges seem overwhelming - especially in times of global/national worry and uncertainty as we experience at the moment.

Sometimes we want to change how we react to those challenges, and sometimes we just want someone to talk to - someone who listens and 'gets us' without judging.

I am committed to exploring with you practical and effective steps towards a more 'choiceful' life.
