About me
Relationship counselling for couples and individuals
I help individuals and couples build stronger, healthier relationships through clear communication, emotional awareness, and intentional connection. Whether you're facing challenges or seeking to deepen your partnership, my coaching provides a structured, supportive space to grow together with purpose and clarity. I’m not your average life coach or therapist. Down-to-earth, straight-talking, and goal-focused, my approach is built on real-life experience and professional expertise.
I bring decades of experience working as a relationship counsellor, mentor, and trauma specialist. Alongside my private practice, I work with an Exeter charity supporting families in crisis and collaborate with military and emergency services charities on PTSD recovery.
