Life rarely unfolds in the way we imagine.
Growing up on a farm on the Isle of Wight, I could never have predicted where life would take me, spending ten years living in Spain, changing careers several times during the course of life, and eventually finding my way to counselling after navigating through my own experiences of life's unexpected transitions.
These experiences taught me something I now bring into my work every day: when life changes, we often need more than strategies for coping. We need somewhere to pause, make sense of what is happening, and discover who we truly are and who we are becoming.
That is one of the reasons I was drawn to Psychosynthesis, a psychology that helps people understand themselves on a deeper level in order to work not only with their anxiety, depression, grief and loss, but also answers questions of identity, purpose and meaning.
Today I work with adults facing many of life's turning points: bereavement, illness, relationship difficulties, midlife, menopause, career change, retirement and those quieter moments when life outwardly looks fine but inwardly something no longer fits.
