My journey began with a deep desire to help my brother, who was diagnosed with psychosis. It was a journey of love and learning that ignited my passion for counselling.

Before finding my calling, I worked in call centers, but my heart longed for something more meaningful. Little did I know, my path was leading me to where I truly belong!

Volunteering with crisis services and SHOUT text line was eye-opening. It taught me the power of empathy and listening, and it fueled my desire to support those in need.

As I walked alongside individuals from all walks of life, facing various mental health challenges, I realised the importance of lived experience in counselling. Each story touched my heart and enriched my understanding.

Then, my daughter's journey with anxiety and self-discovery led us to uncover ADHD. Witnessing her transformation ignited a fire within me to advocate and support others on similar paths.

Learning about ADHD and dyslexia, and embracing my own diagnoses, was like finding missing puzzle pieces. It gave me clarity and strength to navigate life's twists and turns.

Through counselling, I found acceptance, healing and growth. And now, I'm here to share that warmth and support with you! Let's embark on this journey together, embracing our uniqueness and finding strength in vulnerability. 

 My journey from a survivor of an abusive relationship to a passionate counsellor is a testament to resilience, growth, and the pursuit of purpose. After spending two decades as a dedicated dental nurse, I found myself yearning for a deeper connection to my work and a greater sense of fulfilment. It was during this transitional period that I took the courageous step to embark on a path towards counselling—a decision that transformed my life profoundly.

Having endured the challenges of an abusive relationship, I recognized the invaluable role of counselling in my healing process. Through therapy, I not only freed myself from the chains of trauma but also discovered a profound desire to help others navigate similar hardships. My own experiences laid the foundation for my journey towards becoming a counsellor.

Transitioning from dental nursing to counselling was not without its hurdles. I embarked on this new path as a single parent, juggling the demands of family life with the rigors of academic pursuit. Despite moments of doubt and the persistent whisper of imposter syndrome, I remained steadfast in my commitment to self-improvement and growth.

During my academic journey, I encountered a pivotal revelation: the discovery of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and its unique manifestations in women and girls. Through personal research and the experiences of close friends who were diagnosed, I unraveled the complexities of ADHD, ultimately seeking and receiving my own diagnosis. This newfound self-awareness became a cornerstone of self-acceptance, empowering me to embrace my authentic self.

Five years of dedicated study and self-discovery culminated in the achievement I once believed was beyond my reach—a degree in counselling. This milestone not only validated my journey but also fueled my passion to empower others in their quest for self-discovery and healing.

Today, as a counsellor, I am driven by a profound sense of purpose. My mission is to provide a supportive space for individuals to unearth their voices, confront their truths, and embark on transformative journeys of their own. Every client I encounter is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the potential for profound growth and healing.

My journey is a testament to the transformative power of self-discovery, education, and the unwavering pursuit of purpose. Through counselling, I have found my voice and my truth—and I am committed to empowering others to do the same.
