In early 2018, spurred on by a recent bout of deep depression, I decided to retrain as a life coach and therapist. Having always struggled with my mental health and in particular anxiety, I wanted to understand how to better look after my own mental health and help others to do the same. It was through this training I finally began to make sense of my own behaviours, and most importantly, I discovered I could change them, and begin to be the person I wanted to be. Think of it as re-wiring your brain and then in turn your emotions, feelings and behaviour.

​

Since completing my initial courses, I have continued to invest in my training including becoming a Mental First Aid instructor, CBT practitioner, counsellor, and wellness coach. Alongside my wellness business, I have spent over 18 years in the police as a uniformed officer and detective, investigating serious and complex crime, becoming a highly qualified interviewer and investigator and in turn helping and supporting victims of crime, vulnerable victims and those with mental illness. 

 

​I’m a straight-talking individual who shows empathy and compassion for my clients, as well as confidentiality. I will be clear about what you can expect from me, but equally expect my clients to work hard away from the sessions to get the results they deserve.
