Is your life not what you expected?
Have you drfited off course & now you cannot get your bearings?
Are you worried, bored, unhappy, dissatisfied, anxious, confused or uncertain?
Have depression, anxiety, stress, sadness or pain taken over your life?
Do you have chronic health issues which affect your daily life?
Are you dealing with issues which feeling overwhelming or insurmountable?
Are you struggling with changes going on in your life - or you want something to change but don't know how to make it happen?
Did you know that the very thing you call 'a problem' actually contains the seeds of the solution?
Do your feelings run your life? Do you wish you understood them andthey understood you? Maybe you think “anger” or "fear" is your biggest problem. But anger and fear are showing you that something that is fundamentally important to your needs to be addressed in your life. I help people whose feelings run their lives, make friends with them, bringing balance and insight. Your feelings become your loyal friends, letting you know what’s important in your life.
Or, maybe you ask yourself, "feelings? What are they?" You feel numb or blank inside and really have no idea what to say when people ask you how you are feeling. I can help you get in touch with your feelings, at just the right level, so that you can sense what’s going on in there and still feel safe. Not too much and not too little. Just right.
Perhaps you have a hard time saying no? Does it seem like everyone wants a piece of you? Do you feel guilty when you say no to a request? You just don’t know why it seems so easy for others to say no and yet is so hard for you? I can help you learn to say no to the request and still say yes to the person, keeping your relationships are safe. It turns out that saying no sometimes is actually a yes for you…and that feels good.
Perhaps you have lost touch with yourself. All the great traditions say “know thyself” and “to thine own self be true.” You come to a complete standstill when it comes to knowing who you really are. Its a complete mystery. I can help you are getting a better idea of who you are and what you like and want. Everyday you will learn more and more about yourself and what’s more, you can do this for the rest of your life because you learn how to check in and find yourself in any situation.
Maybe you feel overwhelmed & stressed by everything you need to do? You have run out of hours in a day and still there is more you have to do. There’s so much to do you don’t even know where to start anymore. I help people who do too much do just as much as they want and bring balance and ease back into their lives without losing sight of their goals and targets.
Maybe you are telling yourself you are stuck in a rut or bedevilled by procrastination? You are yearning for change, freshness, excitement and fulfilment. I can help you find your way out and create a new path for your life unclocking your blocks to actions, making decisive decisions, and following through to success.
Your so-called “problem” is actually a chance to get to know yourself better and
make new kinds of choices in your life.

Your problem is the very place where you can make the most fruitful and satisfying gains, where you will notice the most benefits
and
where you will find a new source of energy for making the changes you want in your life.
Whatever you are calling negative, uncomfortable or painful is a gift.
Your body is telling you that it actually knows what feels right for you. If it didn’t know what is just right, it wouldn’t be able to tell something is wrong.
The crux & unique power of Transformative Counselling & Coaching rests upon...
►Embracing what is.
►Taking your own natural energy and using it to create what you want.
►Living a life guided by your values while moving beyond struggle and resistance through mindfulness practices.
►Living authentically – not how others want you to live or tell you to live – but respectfully choosing your own life.
►Getting to know your inner landscape through a process of self-discovery and problem solving.
►Making informed decisions and then adjusting them when the time is right.
►Learning the hear, feel and trust your intuition.
I take a person-centred approach in supporting you and your journey, drawing upon the deep wisdom of a range of practices which bring you closer to your real self with acceptance, empathy and understanding releasing emotional and body tension and unease, exploring core beliefs and connecting the power of your emotions to your values.
I have supported clients experiencing anxiety, depression and other mood disorders, chronic pain and illness, relationship issues at work and at home, through transitions & lifestyle changes, in times of grief & loss, and the confusion of who am I, how did I get here and how do I really want to live from now on?
