Having had my own life and mental health challenges plus a significant burnout, I spent a number of years of researching other people’s experiences, learning about brain functioning and systems. This resulted in my producing global award winning* educational workshops to individuals and global corporate organisations worldwide, on practices to build cognitive resilience as well as applying emotional intelligence in communication.
Whilst this was successful, I wanted to do more towards reducing the suffering in others, so in 2018/9, I embarked on a multi-year journey, training in Integrative Counselling & Psychotherapy.
I now help those who are suffering not just from burnout, but a wider range of mental health issues, specialising in Grief work, but also work in areas such as anxiety, depression, childhood and recent trauma including abuse and/or neglect, PTSD, anger, guilt, feelings of being alone and unsupported, addiction, early dementia, bipolar disorder, and support when struggling with loss after bereavement.
I volunteer with ‘Bereavement Care’ a bereavement support charity, and with Pegasus Men’s Wellbeing Centre CIC.
