• My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style. Maya Angelou
Recognising that you are not thriving in life as you might hope to can cause dreams to fade and a sense of loss of a life once imagined. Gentle and creative counselling, including Animal Assisted Therapy can assist, helping to build resilience and achieve goals.
  • Anxiety - doesn't need to control your life.
  • Depression- a joy filled life can be possible
  • Trauma - whether 'big T 'or 'little t' trauma - doesn't have to continue to impact your future.

Strength Based Approaches

You have strenths and abilities that can be forgotten or underutilized.

  • What do you dream of achieving in your life?

I hold a Bachelor of Counselling and have completed trauma training to level 2 in Somatic Experiencing, and will complete this study in November 2021 . I have worked in both Primary and Secondary schools, and over ten years I have worked with people using Refocussing Therapy, studying under Diane Divett, the founder of this theory. My dog and I have also qualified with Lead the Way to use Animal Assisted Therapy and a second dog is about to qualify. I currently work with adolescents and children using creativity to enhance outcomes.
