Psychologist.

Speaker.
Working alongside individuals, organisations and communities aiming to lift others up, make a difference, and help people to live lives with as much meaning, purpose, awe and fulfilment as they can muster. Facilitating resilience and wellbeing in the face of life’s challenges.

My Aims:
I work to promote resilience, wellbeing, mental health, and flourishing in individuals, communities and organisations, particularly after challenging times. I strive to work with those seeking to make a positive difference in the world.
Through my work I aim to increase awareness of how our nervous systems, sense of connection (with self, others and our experience of the world), and sense of safety and belonging can shape our wellbeing and the communities that we are part of.
Background:
With a certificate in Polyvagal theory, a PhD in psychology, an ICF accredited coaching qualification and over 20 years experience of teaching and research in the UK Higher education sector, my approach is evidence-informed and influenced by multiple theoretical perspectives.
Personal experiences with traumatic bereavement and other life challenges also provide a backdrop upon which I am driven to connect with others in order to facilitate resilience, wellbeing, belonging, healing and making a positive difference in the world.

FAQ
-
Many of my clients will have previously engaged with therapy and a few still see a therapist every now and again whilst undertaking coaching. The key difference is that my coaching services do not work ‘on’ trauma or challenging previous experiences. Instead my approach makes rooms for the acknowledgement of those past experiences with regards to the here and now, particularly with regards to meaning and purpose. You can read more about the difference here.

Pricing is based on the nature of the coaching or project. My coaching services start at £95 per session (approx. 45 minutes). Prices for talks and writing services depend greatly on what you are looking for. Please get in touch to discuss.
[Note: Due to the nature of my work I also have scope to (and very much like to) work pro bono on a few projects during each year. If you have a goal/dream/project/organisation that aims to make a positive difference in the world please contact me in order to check current availability.]

These images are symbolic of the work that I do and have huge personal meaning behind them.
In Adinkra symbology the fern (AYA) is a symbol of resilience. Ferns can often grow in the most challenging and varied circumstances… just like we can too.
The pebble symbol was passed to me during an inner child exercise that I once engaged with. And that metaphorical pebble is what I now keep in mind as I work to create a positive difference for individuals and in organisations and communities. It’s a metaphor based on creating positive ripples.
