Counselling & Coaching for you & the workplace
You can’t stop the waves, but you can learn to surf *
Certain levels of stress are natural, instinctive and beneficial. And, feelings of stress or ‘distress’ affect us all from time to time. It’s part of being human.
However, left unchecked, a negative response to life can lead to a whole variety of stress related symptoms that can leave you feeling out of control or out of balance, emotionally and physically.
Learning how to recognise what stresses you, why you respond in the way that you do and how you can change your mind-set is the key to unlocking a brighter, healthier and less stressful future.
The way you feel today is not ‘just the way you are’. And it should by no means define the way you feel tomorrow. With my unique approach to counselling, you will find out what is holding you back and get the support you need to stand tall, take control and reach your full potential.

About me
I offer both face to face and video sessions in my counselling setting based in Chesham.
I am an Associate member of ISMA and I offer help with all forms of stress management, anxiety, depression and confidence building for adults and young people.
Working from the comfort of my home, I provide a safe and confidential space to talk, explore and problem solve.
As an experienced Stress Management Trainer, I can also help your organisation address problems and get back on track. I will break down the emotional barriers that are stopping your people from performing as they should.
