About me

Hello. Are you finding life difficult at the moment? Are you affected by relationship struggles or conflict; stress, anxiety, loneliness, lack of confidence, sadness or depression?

I’d love to help. I offer weekly talking therapy where you will have a safe, compassionate space with me to begin to tell your story. Together we will explore what is really happening for you and you will find once you start to speak about and explore your experiences and feelings, you will begin to feel better.

My passion is in the area of relationships. I believe possessing a strong and loving relationship with yourself is the precursor to feeling happy and satisfied in life as well as being able to have deep and loving relationships with others, such as partners, family members, children, and friends.

Working with me, you will learn to become more aware of your inner world.

With your increased understanding and awareness you will have more capacity to change the way you relate to yourself, such as learning to respond to yourself with kindness or compassion rather than with anger or criticism. Small changes build, bit by bit, your confidence and self-esteem as well as helping you connect to your own source of wisdom and guidance from within. With more groundedness you will be less tossed around by the circumstances of life. With your increased self-awareness also comes more freedom and choice, to step out of the old unconscious stories you tell yourself and choose a new outcome.

It is important to remember that it’s the most difficult times in particular that hold the biggest opportunities for new beginnings and powerful transformations. I am here to help you move forward with whatever you are struggling with.

About me

I am originally from NZ and have lived for many years in London and most recently Spain. I love to travel and am interested in meditation, yoga and shamanic ceremony. Connecting to Mother Nature is my most powerful spiritual practice. All of these influences flow into my work.
