About me
I offer a personal journey for young people (14+) and adults to achieve their goals, through supportive counselling, life coaching, hypnotherapy, supervision, in-person, online and by phone.
Counselling helps you find more purpose, meaning, autonomy, control, joy, and positive relationships in a process of introspection, reflection and change.
I offer a free one hour consultation to explore some more of what you would like to work on and get those changes you wish to make.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have been working privately since 2014 as a counsellor, life coach and hypnotherapist. I have 24 years of experience working with young people and adults. I also have experience of working with survivors of rape and sexual abuse in a centre in Wiltshire where I had further training in trauma recovery.
I work with people moving through life transitions often triggered by anxiety, depression and life purpose and meaning. Trauma, anger, grief, loss, gender, sexuality, relationships are common issues for therapy focusing on human needs like life direction, control, positive relationship attachment and joy.
