I provide professional and caring support for all of life’s challenges

Life is hard at times. Just being human and living day to day life can be really tough. We’re not born with an instruction manual and we have to learn how to meet the demands of life along the way often through trial and error. We grow and develop through confronting and overcoming life challenges that we sometimes choose for ourselves, or unfairly sometimes choose us. At times it all just feels too much, or life hits us just that little bit too hard, or we realise one day that we’re really not doing so ok at the moment, and we may not even be sure how or why things got to this point.

As human beings we all have needs, we feel deeply, and we can get hurt and overwhelmed along the way. I have huge empathy for the distress and sadness, worry and anxiety, pain and frustration that sometimes results from just being human. I feel a great sense of personal fulfilment when I’m able to help my clients better understand their challenges, reduce their suffering and distress, nurture hope, develop practical and helpful strategies, and see my clients get back on their feet and thriving again in their lives.
