A positive and empowering approach can help you find clarity and build the life you want.

A unique approach

I am an Integrative Solution-Focused Practitioner with a postgraduate qualification in Professional Youth and Community Work.

For more than 20 years I have worked alongside young people & adults, in voluntary healthcare settings and within the education system. To support my values-based approach, I have trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and the DNA-V model for young people. supporting individuals through challenges, transitions, and personal growth.

My approach is collaborative, practical, and compassionate. Rather than focusing solely on problems, we explore strengths, resources, values, and achievable steps forward.
