Navigating change,

Empowering you.

Life’s challenges often arrive unexpectedly, shaking the foundation of our sense of self and purpose. These periods of change can leave us feeling uncertain, adrift, and disconnected from who we truly are.

Transitional times, whether they stem from the end of a relationship, the loss of a loved one, a career change, or a shift in personal circumstances, can force us to reevaluate our direction. These changes often leave us questioning our path, our identity, and what truly matters. At times, we might feel we've lost touch with our authentic self, or that our dreams and aspirations have become clouded or out of reach. I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space where individuals can explore these feelings and rediscover their sense of direction.

As a person-centred therapist, I am deeply committed to supporting individuals during these pivotal moments. I believe that every person has an innate capacity for growth and healing, even in the face of life's most challenging times.

  • About me

    I am a fully qualified, person-centred therapist and individual member of the British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy.

    During my training, professional practice and whilst working within charity organisations, I have gained experience working with a diverse range of clients and challenges.

    I undertake regular training to keep my knowledge and skills up to date.

    I hold an up to date DBS check and am fully insured.

    I currently work from a practice in Newport, Isle of Wight or I’m available online for UK based clients. 

  • How I work

    By focusing on building a strong therapeutic relationship grounded in trust and respect, I help clients tap into their inner resources and resilience, facilitating self-discovery and transformation. I have supported a diverse range of clients facing various challenges, and have extensive experience working with bereavement, anxiety and relationship issues.

    If you are at a crossroads in life or find yourself struggling to find your way, I am here to help you find peace in the uncertainty, reclaim your sense of self, and step into a future that aligns with your true values and aspirations.

“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.”

— Dr. Carl Rogers, 'On Becoming a Person'
