Navigating relationships can be challenging. We’ve all experienced misunderstandings, pain, and sometimes even caused pain to others. Whether you require pre-marital/marriage counselling, support in journeying through addictions such as infidelity and pornography, work or sports career related concerns, my 20+ years of experience can guide you through these times. I have a unique blend of expertise when it comes to relationships, having managed high-profile sports professionals, leading an international non-profit organization, working cross-culturally and continuing to thrive in my own cross -cultural marriage for over two decades.

Involuntarily childless or childless not by choice women. It’s an honour to meet you. I’m sorry for the difficult circumstances and heartbreak that may have led you here. My hope is you can experience the love, care and support you need to live well and heal your beautiful heart. This is offered, with the deep, heart-felt knowing, that comes from being an involuntarily childless woman too. My personal story includes deeply desiring motherhood, 10 years trying to conceive (including IVF), leaving the clinic and struggling to find appropriate support. It was devastating, and I knew there must be other women just like me.

Have you ever noticed that you seem to have some significant negative landmarks from childhood that: 1. Make you feel like you’re permanently damaged, or 2. Mean you are easily triggered into fight, flight or freeze mode in some way, or 3. Make you feel like you can’t cope as well as other people, or 4. Make it hard for you to be able to control your emotions, or 5. Make it hard for you to trust others, or 6. Somehow get in the way of being able to get or maintain healthy friendships or romantic relationships? If this sounds like you, you might have some unresolved trauma or overwhelming experiences that need processing to resolve.

I am an experienced trauma-informed therapist. I work well with people who are ready to do 'the work'. I briefly bring strategies that can be useful to your everyday life initially, relying on modalities such as mindfulness and polyvagal theory, before moving into deeper work based in Internal Family Systems (IFS), if and when the time is right. I assist/guide you to reveal and heal the parts of you that carry thoughts, feelings and behaviours that no longer serve you. It is not always doom and gloom. We work together light-heartedly to safely reveal your unconscious motivations and inner strength, towards lasting healing. It works.

Being brave with a trusted listener can help us navigate life’s challenges. It helps us move through the strong emotions that make us feel like the ground is giving way. No matter where our stories have taken us, we all just want to be ok, to feel like we can cope, find connection and meaning.
