Welcome. I am a person-centred integrative counsellor, which means that you remain at the heart of our work together. 

I will take the time to understand you as an individual, while drawing on a range of therapeutic approaches to support your particular needs and circumstances.

Alongside my counselling work, I am an experienced coach and  specialist in mother–daughter relationships.

I work with the MOTHER-DAUGHTER ATTACHMENT® MODEL, which is the only practice model in the world, for understanding the mother-daughter relationship. We may explore attachment, communication, boundaries, family roles, unmet needs and patterns that have travelled through generations. 

 My practice is trauma-informed and shaped by professional training, extensive experience and a deep understanding of the complexities that life and relationships can bring.

My approach as a dual practitioner weaves together the emotional depth and compassion of counselling, with the clarity and focus of coaching.

You don’t have to choose between healing and growth as both can happen side by side. 

I can support you in making sense of your thoughts and feelings, understanding the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and creating the changes that feel right for you. 

I have seen the meaningful difference that the right therapeutic support can make.

 Together, we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you, with space for reflection, healing, new insight, and new possibilities. 

My approach is thoughtful, relational and tailored to you. Our sessions will be guided by what feels most important and helpful to you.

As an integrative counsellor, I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches, including person-centred therapy, attachment theory, CBT, transactional analysis and trauma-informed practice. We can explore not only what is happening now, but also the experiences, relationships and patterns that may be shaping how you think, feel and respond. This is your space to be seen, and heard, without any judgment.

I work with clients experiencing anxiety, low self-worth, grief, relationship difficulties, people-pleasing, emotional overwhelm and the sense of being stuck in patterns they no longer want to repeat.

My private practice is based in a quiet and private cul-de-sac in North Hykeham, Lincoln. The space is calm, comfortable and thoughtfully arranged, with appointments carefully scheduled so clients do not overlap, giving you greater privacy from the moment you arrive.

I offer a completely free and non-obligatory 15-minute telephone or Zoom call so we can briefly discuss what you are looking for and see whether we feel like the right fit.

If you decide to go ahead, your first full session will include an initial assessment. This gives us space to explore what is affecting you most, what you would like support with, and what you hope may begin to change.

From there, we can agree together how best to move forward and what kind of support may be most helpful for you.

I have written this blog which you can assess on my website to answer any further questions -
