My approach
I believe that there is no single way of being, learning or succeeding. Rather than trying to make someone fit into a system that isn't working for them, I aim to understand the individual and help them find approaches that work with who they are.
My counselling background means that I can offer space to explore emotions, experiences and relationships at a deeper level, while my coaching work brings a more practical, forward-looking focus when that is what someone needs.
Most importantly, I aim to offer a warm, accepting and non-judgemental space where people can feel heard, understood and supported.
Whether you are an adult struggling with aspects of your life, a young person trying to make sense of yourself and the world around you, or a parent looking for support in helping your neurodivergent child, I would be very happy to talk to you about how I might help.
Due to my education background, I also work with parents who may be feeling overwhelmed or unsure about how best to support their child at school or if they are out of school. Navigating the education system can be particularly challenging, and I can offer a listening ear alongside practical guidance and support to help families find a way forward.
