Therapy for Carers | Support for Loss and Grief | Finding Purpose and Meaning | Burnout and Stress
I’m a Registered BACP Psychotherapist, Accredited IMI Mediator, ILM Qualified Coach, and Experienced Facilitator, but more than that, I understand what it’s like to care for others while trying to hold onto yourself.
Caring for someone—whether it’s a loved one, a client, or someone you support through work—can be deeply meaningful, but it can also leave you feeling drained, uncertain, or disconnected from yourself. Strength isn’t just about carrying on—it’s also about knowing when to seek support.
I know this firsthand. When I was struggling, the right counselling support for carers wasn’t there. That experience shaped how I approach therapy: practical, supportive, and accessible. It’s not just about talking—it’s about helping you see yourself more clearly and giving you tools to move forward.
My Journey to Therapy
A Deeper Calling
For nearly 20 years, I worked in senior HR roles, coaching leaders and guiding people through change. I saw what helps people grow, but also how often deeper struggles go unspoken. I wanted to do more—to help beyond surface-level fixes and create space for real understanding.
Mastering Conflict & Trust
Using my mediation skills at work, I noticed how effective mediation was in helping people navigate conflict, rebuild trust, and move forward in healthier ways. I topped up my training as an interpersonal mediator, building on my experience helping colleagues work through workplace tensions.
Caregiving & Life's Transitions
Focus on Therapy
Personal experiences of grief, change, and caregiving reinforced this. I saw how people adapt, how relationships shift, and how hard it can be to hold onto meaning. I saw how valuable these skills were outside of work, too—especially for families facing shifts in roles, strained communication, and the emotional weight of caregiving.
In 2020, I chose to focus fully on therapy, bringing everything I’ve learned to support people who give so much to others.
