A Little About Me

I’m a Qualified Counsellor, Life Coach, and I have studied trauma with the NICABM. I am also an Experienced and qualified Canine Behaviourist!

Yes, I did say canine, I know you’re a person, but please hear me out! I’ve been coaching families to solve their dogs behaviour problems for nearly 20 years. That’s a long time, and over the years I’ve always enjoyed the challenge of helping the owners as much as the dogs. So much so, that I volunteered with the Samaritans for a long time when I lived in Northern Ireland.

I’ve always been interested in psychology, human and animal, and to study dog behaviour you also have to understand human emotions and psychology, so they both go hand in hand in a lot of ways!

Now, two life coaching courses, and a counselling qualification later, I am now in a position to be able to help you navigate your own challenges too, and I can’t wait to help you.

I have a particular interest in helping people that have experienced estrangement. This is very personal to me as I am estranged from my own family, and are well aware of how that loss can affect the way a person copes, or doesn’t, in all aspects of their life. I also know very well, how difficult it can be to get decent support in this very misunderstood area. Friends get bored of listening, and counsellors often struggle with it too, both of my counsellors certainly did.

I have also managed to quit smoking (and stay quit mid divorce), and lose a substantial amount of weight (twice) using my own mindset strategies. So I have first hand experience of the emotional and practical side of that too. Find out more about that and weight loss coaching here.

So, that is me. If you think I can help you, please get in touch and we can arrange a free discovery session!
