I offer a warm, empowering space where adults and young people can feel truly seen, supported, and inspired to overcome life's challenges.
As a compassionate and experienced therapist, i bring both professional skills and real life- understanding to my work. I'm a single mother of three, and my journey has taken me across the world living and working in America, Switzerland, England and Egypt. My background in Education , sport and counselling has shaped a deep belief that people can grow through adversity and rediscover purpose no matter where life takes them.
In my teens, i represented my country in athletics and later face the loss of that identity due to injury - an experience that taught me resilience and the power of rebuilding. I've rowed at national level, cycled through the Alpes, and learned first-hand that strength comes from embracing both the highs and lows of life. Now at 51, i am living my purpose -combining my passion for helping others with my love of movement and growth.
Clients describe my approach as warm, grounded and deeply human. I bring empathy, humour, and insight to every session, helping people reconnect with themselves and move forward with confidence.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
