Through my many years working as a Diabetes Nurse Educator I often found that the medical system falls over in certain situations. For example, by not taking in consideration certain related factors such the role of stress on physical and emotional wellbeing, or by remaining stuck in a dichotomy of thinking of mind and body as two separate entities – rather than one body-mind.

I provide my clients a confidential, understanding and safe relationship that they can use to further their personal goals and potential. To help clients achieve their goals, I combine the techniques of psychotherapy, counselling and coaching. The combination of these techniques helps people go beyond symptom relief and achieve long lasting change. A session allows a space to express feelings, thoughts and behaviours. Together we explore ways of making change and enhancing your quality of life.
