My Story
I've always been fascinated by people.
Long before I became a therapist, I spent years working as a Business Improvement Coach in a corporate environment, helping people overcome challenges, build confidence and find better ways forward. Looking back, helping people untangle complex problems has been at the heart of my career for more than 20 years.
Today, I combine that experience with qualifications in Clinical Hypnotherapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Mindset Coaching and Nature Therapy to help people understand their brains, break free from unhelpful patterns and make life feel easier.
Since opening my private practice in 2018, I've worked with people of all ages who are struggling with anxiety, overwhelm, low confidence, stress, major life changes and the feeling of being stuck. My approach is practical, supportive and focused on helping you create meaningful change, not dependency.
Whether we work together in person in Southend-on-Sea, online, by telephone or outdoors in nature, my goal is always the same: to help you feel calmer, clearer and more in control of your life.

A Few Things About Me
When I'm not working with clients, you'll usually find me outdoors.
I love walking in the woods with my husband and dog, spending time by the sea, camping, gardening and lifting heavy things at the gym. I also enjoy singing with my local choir and helping raise money for charity.
I believe life is meant to be lived, not just endured. Whether that's laughing with family and friends, exploring nature, or helping someone realise they're far more capable than they thought, those moments of connection and joy are what matter most to me.
Bringing nature into the healing process
Alongside one-to-one therapy, I'm also a qualified Forest Bathing Guide and Nature Therapist.
Nature has a unique way of helping us slow down, quieten the noise of everyday life and reconnect with ourselves. Through guided forest bathing experiences, nature therapy walks and wellbeing workshops, I help people experience the restorative benefits of spending time outdoors in a more intentional way.
I also offer forest bathing sessions, mindset workshops and wellbeing experiences for retreats, festivals and events.
