My aim is to ensure every child feels understood and accepted, and that every parent feels confident in themselves and their skills.
I work with parents as a catalyst for change - helping them shift from surviving, to thriving. I empower parents to press pause and reconsider how they actually want family life to be, and how they want to get there. My coaching weaves the science of child development and psychology into the unique intricacies of each family situation, providing a truly tailored, and therefore, effective approach. Are you worried about your child’s behaviour, well-being or learning? Do you find yourself doing or saying things as a parent, you wish you didn’t? Do you feel uncertain about how best to approach an issue with your child? I can help.

Holding a Master of Counselling I have counselled pre-teens and teenagers in school for six years and have eight year’s experience working with children with special needs.
I work with all ages and specialise working with teens and young adults who are struggling. Challenges can come from anywhere; the loss of a loved one, a health condition, problems at school or work, anxiety, trauma, bullying, depression, attacks on dignity, abuse, or being spoken to in unhelpful ways. Problems can get you feeling overwhelmed, hopeless and stuck. I invite you to let me journey with you from that stuck place to hope and peace.

I frequently work with the following clients - teenagers, university students, and adults.
