Myself

I grew up in South London within a large hardworking family with strong work ethics (I am one of 7).  Like a lot of people from my generation, I worked full time from the age of 16, earning the best salary I could.

I spent many years moving from job to job, feeling extremely unfulfilled, to include utilizing my creative side by opening a florist and self-publishing a children’s book.

It took a life-threatening illness to really look at my life and explore what really makes me feel fulfilled – some would say my life purpose.  Like many therapists, I trained in Counselling, Clinical Hypnotherapy, Transactional and Transformational Life Coaching, Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and EMDR (Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), after experiencing PTSD for the first time (not the last).

My life definitely hasn’t been straight forward, experiencing clinical depression, a period in temporary accommodation, domestic abuse and a life-threatening illness. On a positive, without overcoming these difficult life experiences, I am not sure I would be as equipped to help others overcome theirs, as I am.

So here I am finally feeling fulfilled, doing something I love, helping people navigate their way through difficult times.
