I live in Harrogate, North Yorkshire with my husband, little boy Freddie (age 3), little girl Willow (aged 1) & dog Benji. Life to me is all about savoring the luxury of simplicity... walks in nature, days without plans, a bottle of prosecco with friends, making memories with the people I love, sitting by the fire to indulge in a new book or podcast (with chocolate), a candle lit meal, a weekend away in the countryside & truly loving where you are right now, just as much as you love the idea of where you're going. Oh & I'm obsessed with plants. Inside & outside. You can't ever have enough!
I've been on my own journey of healing & self discovery (we are all a work in progress!) to shed the conditioning of who I thought I needed to be to fit in, to rise above the fear of judgement, to manage anxiety & shame... & ultimately, to come back to my true authentic self, meeting myself with more acceptance & compassion. It's an ongoing journey! I'm very much human & on this journey too.
I am accredited & registered with over 15 years working in the Psychology field with people from all walks of life. I have worked in secure environments & in the community, including with young offenders, people engaging in significant risk taking behaviours, those who are addicted to drink/drugs & those who 'have it all' but still don't feel happy on the inside. I believe that self-awareness, compassion & dedication are at the core of positive change. They provide us with meaning, choices & the opportunity to heal, evolve & grow into the best version of ourselves.
My mission is to support as many people as possible, just like you to heal the experiences that have impacted on you, to release the unhelpful patterns that are holding you back, to remind you just how worthy & capable you are, to support you to develop a deep sense of belief & trust in yourself & to show you that whatever you desire in your life, is absolutely possible & available to you.
