BA (Hons), BACP Accred, EFT Cert, CPNLP, D.Hyp. FCTC, MRP, MBSR

As a multifaceted therapist I bring all of my knowledge, skills and experience to help people who want to heal from their past and discover their next steps.

I am an Accredited Counsellor and member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and BACP Coaching Division and have been in counselling practice since 1998. Before training as a Counsellor I was a Holistic Therapist and my passion for learning different approaches to healing and change has continued. This has enabled me to bring a broad range of creative approaches to my work with clients and work interchangeably across the different therapeutic fields.

During this time I have also trained in a number of different approaches and became a practitioner of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), Mindfulness Teacher, Rewind Technique for Trauma, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Matrix Re-Imprinting and Compassion Key and Clinical and Analytical Hypnotherapy.

In 2018 I qualified as a Certified Fusion Therapeutic Coach, enabling me to bridge the gaps between counselling, therapy and coaching and expand my practice to include coaching as a specifically way of working.

Historically I have worked in a number of health and social care settings, including a GP Practice, Bereavement and Loss Charity, various helplines and a specialist Cancer Hospital. For the past 19 years I have worked with several EAP’s, (Employee Assistance Programmes) providing counselling for employees for personal and work-related issues. Over the years I have become more solution-focused and proficient in helping clients to create rapid change in a short number of sessions.

I have also nurtured my passion for energy psychologies, mindfulness and neuroscience over the years. This brings a flavour of east meets west to my work with clients, by integrating techniques that focus on present moment awareness, with somatic techniques and an understanding of how the mind works and impacts our moods, physiology and behaviour.

In 2020 I also qualified as a Spiritual Coach, enabling me to work with those clients who want to include and develop their spiritual side.

I currently have a practice at the Willows in Torquay, UK and provide sessions Online.

Times of Transition

It is my belief that we are in an unprecedented time in history and going through a period of rapid global change. While this provides opportunities for accelerated growth, it can also feel overwhelming, as the changes bring unresolved patterns and traumas to the surface to be healed.

As an Empath myself, I have always been impacted by my environment and the people around me, both positively and negatively. Things didn’t really come to head for me until I was navigating the menopause, whilst managing an adult child with addiction issues. I recognised a pattern of being overly responsible, becoming energetically depleted and then withdrawing socially in an attempt to protect my energy. Through research, I discovered the term ‘Empath’ and it really helped me to understand and made sense of my life and journey. 

After many years of deep inner work, multiple courses and research, along with my own experience of what worked for me and what didn’t, I gained the knowledge and experience of how to clear, heal and protect my energy field and the importance of practising daily energy management.

Through navigating my own journey I feel privileged to share what I have discovered and help other people who identify as an Empath, to ease through transitions in their lives. This involves facilitating lasting change and sharing empowering tools and knowledge with other intuitive souls who want to blossom and be who they were born to be.
