About me
Hello and welcome. Thank you for visiting and taking the time for you.
I am a Bereavement Specialist and the founder of SunflowerMoon Holistics, where I offer gentle, heart-led support for anyone navigating grief, loss, or one of life's many changes.
Over the years, I've trained in Therapeutic Creative Counselling, Bereavement, Hypnotherapy, Reiki, and Sound Therapy, with my natural intuitive abilities to offer support that's compassionate, and personal.
My approach is shaped by Carl Rogers' Person Centered approach and specialist Bereavement training and Models, but also my extensive life experiences and training whilst working voluntary within my local community, including the Hospice, deep listening, and trust in what unfolds when you feel safe enough to share in a confidential safe space.
Grief can be isolating, confusing, and even silent at times. My hope is to offer a space where you can feel met, where your story is heard, your emotions are welcome, and gentle support is always close by.
We all have our individual reasons for seeking counselling or hypnotherapy support. I was introduced to Counselling integrating Therapeutic Hypnotherapy and found this route very person-centered. This approach has been invaluable with my ongoing journey both professionally and personally.
My work is grounded in the belief that deep healing begins with being seen, heard, and accepted.
Inspired by Carl Rogers’ person-centered approach, I create spaces where empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard guide the therapeutic relationship.
I began my career in person-centered roles before moving into Human Resources within the NHS in 1991.
Over two decades, I worked in leadership and support roles, earning a Postgraduate Diploma in People Management at Gloucestershire University, while developing a deep understanding of emotional wellbeing in both personal and organisational systems.
As my path unfolded, I was drawn more deeply into therapeutic and spiritual counselling.
Today, I specialise in supporting clients with grief, emotional development, life changes, relationships, including intergenerational, well-being and goal setting.
I work holistically, intuitively and compassionately, honoring body, mind, and spirit, while integrating creative tools, counselling models (Person- Centered - Client focused) Bereavement, Interoception) and therapeutic Hypnotherapy tools, developmental awareness, deep listening and the opportunity for goal setting in all areas of your life aimed at positive change.
My training as a UK Healer in 2015 and Reiki Master focused on the Energy Communication with the Chakras (Energy points in the body). Followed training as a Sound and Massage Therapist. Interoception, sometimes called the 8th Sense, alongside the traditional 5 senses, proprioception (body awareness) and vestibular (balance) sense all links into the understanding the Nervous System, Anxiety and how each individual person communicates.
I believe that early relational experiences shape how we live and love, and that through conscious connection, change and healing are always possible.
My approach is warm, inclusive, and rooted in the dignity of the human experience.
I meet each person with compassion, and care. I am currently training with One-Spirit Interfaith Foundation as a Minister and Hospital Chaplain.
A journey that is currently taking me on a deeper Soul journey of self discovery through the seasons of life and beyond.
I have travelled and gained valuable life experiences with my husband Paul for 39 years. I am a mother to 3 adult sons and a grandmother to 2 granddaughters. I currently live and work from my home in Newton Abbot in South Devon, UK.
I warmly invite you to explore your own individual unique pathway and invite you to a free of charge Discovery Consultation Chat with me.
