My aim is to create a safe space through psychotherapy. A space where you can write your own story, free from pain and the preconceptions of how you should be feeling. For me, psychotherapy is a partnership where we each bring our own expertise: you, about your own life, feelings and life direction, and me, about mental health and psychology.

My ‘soft-skills’ such as empathy and compassion originate from my personal experiences in physical and mental health, as well as from being a mother, a woman and a human being, facing the 21st centuries uncertainties and paradox of digital hyper connection and interpersonal loneliness. After a childhood spent in France, I have lived in many places across the globe and I like to bring an international mindset into my work.

​

My ‘hard-skills’ come from my counselling level 4 training and my Masters’ Degree in Clinical Psychology. It has taught me to understand psychological challenges through the interaction of one self with a cultural and family heritage and a social and political environment. I have specific knowledge in the fields of maternity, trauma, physical illnesses, and bereavement.

​

Counselling and psychotherapy is far more than a job to me. It is my true passion and my way of participating in making this world a better place.

Overcoming an array of personal obstacles means I am able to have deep empathy for you and encourage hope. Whether it be grief and loss, parental separation and divorce, relationship issues, coping with a loved one suffering with cancer or any mental/physical illness or struggling with lack of direction and self-esteem.

My personal insight comes from growing and learning through my own difficult experiences. The struggle is real and unfortunately inevitable but what you think and feel is valid and deserves to be voiced. I truly believe that knowledge is power and that is why I want to share it with you. 

Through counselling, I want to listen to you, your experiences and your feelings. I am offering my authentic self and my knowledge to support you, to provide understanding and a safe space for you to be heard without judgement. 

I am now proudly part of the ACCPH (Accredited Counsellors, Coaches, Psychotherapists and Hypnotherapists). It has been an ever-changing road to get to where I am now, originally from the South-East of England and currently living in Mallorca.

I offer and recommend face-to-face sessions but also online if this is your preference. The first step is often the most difficult but you are not alone.

My aim is to help you to overcome whatever is preventing you from living your best life, by actively listening and supporting you in a safe environment.

As an accredited counsellor, I am fully committed to doing my best for you. I am a member of the Accredited Counsellors, Coaches, Psychotherapists and Hypnotherapists (ACCPH), and I abide by their code of ethics and practice.

From a young age I was very unsure of my own identity and what I had to offer to the world. Growing up without my dad made me feel like I was a victim of rejection. Shyness crippled me and being bullied on multiple occasions resulted in a sense of loneliness and fear of sharing my inner world with others. Anger was a friend to me; I was angry at my dad for abandoning me and angry about my shyness.

As life went on, I learned to love, like and accept myself (both the good and bad aspects). This resulted in a freedom that I had never experienced before and gave me an appetite to help other people in their life.

You do not need to go through your difficulties alone. If you feel that I could be of help to you then please contact me.

If you had known me prior to Gary and the Gap Counselling, you would have thought being a Counsellor was the last thing you would ever have seen me doing . I was a hard partying girl from the North East of England who had spent the majority of her working life as an Executive Assistant in corporate London, a million miles away from where I found myself when I first contacted Gary at The Gap Counselling, through Cancer Support Group in Mallorca.

I had been through a bit of a rough time over the previous 5 years. Whilst I was living and working in Germany, I was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer. In a foreign Country with a medical system, I had no knowledge of, I found myself having to navigate the language and bureaucracy as well as the disease itself. Long story short, the treatment was a success and I came out of it all relatively unscathed – or so I thought. But as time moved forward although I was feeling better physically, I was feeling much, much, worse mentally. My long-suffering husband couldn’t cope with my worsening outlook with regards to my health and life in general and finally told me “You need help, I don’t know what else to do to help you”. He suggested I get counselling.

Through regular Counselling I began to understand why I was feeling like I was and was guided towards finding a solution. I realised that the job I had been doing for the past 30 plus years, was in fact the equivalent of bashing a square peg into a round hole. During one of our regular sessions Gary asked me what I thought about training to be a Counsellor, I didn’t have to think about it for too long. What an amazing idea! I was itching to pass on my experience of beating cancer in the hope it could help and make everything less daunting for even one person. What better way to help someone than through the Counselling process.

Fast forward to today, I am now a qualified Level 3 Accredited Counsellor and am lucky enough to be starting this new chapter in my life by working as part of The Gap Counselling. I am looking forward to using the new skills I have acquired through the Gaps accredited training program and being able to help and guide people who need a safe space to talk as well as giving them somewhere they can come where there is no judgement and an empathetic ear, as well as a cup of tea!
