About Me

My ethos in life is built around kindness, compassion with a strong commitment to helping others.

My life experiences have also shaped my choice of career, and I strive to use these experiences, in addition to my professional training and ongoing Continuous Professional Development,  to support others by creating a safe space for clients.

I value the connection and trust that comes from being in sessions with clients and I strive to help the client feel seen, heard and valued.
