About me
Everybody Hurts. Sometimes, we need a bit of help with that.
My welcoming practice is open to everyone, of all genders and identities, but I also have over two decades experience working with women at all stages of life and experience. This covers every aspect of the particular ways women may experience challenge such as emotional and psychological strain, financial issues, family pressures, domestic issues, abuse, business and professional stress, relationships, returning to work, parenting, eating disorders, confidence, caring, health, illness, menopause and perimenopause, reinvention, recovery and just getting through.
I work with many types of mental health issue for every individual, life stage challenge and personal struggle.
