Background

Where & Why I Started

At the age of 16 I left Bristol to live and study in the USA. This resulted in most of my 20’s being spent in the States, experiencing the diverse cultures, which I feel have truly enriched my work as a counsellor.

On my return I went to London, where I worked hard to cultivate a successful career in marketing, but there was always a piece of the jigsaw missing. After having my first child in 1999 my life changed completely. I wanted to feel as though I was making a difference. I wanted to feel as if I was giving something back. It may sound like a cliché, but it’s the truth.

Two children and many years of study later I have become a successful counsellor and an Accredited member of the BACP. Now I feel that I have truly found that missing piece!

And looking to the future…

I would like to continue my growth both personally and professionally and share my knowledge and experiences with the next generation of therapists!

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.
