I have been passionate about the field of mental health and well being for the past ten years. Training and voluntarily working in the arena many years ago inspired a dream to grow my own practice. With a mission to promote self awareness and self belief in people, the Glow Therapy strap line, 'The Mind; Illuminated' was conceptualised. I believe in empowering people with the information and skills they need to realise their true potential and this is achieved by adopting a range of interactive therapies.
My key strengths are my ability to:
• connect with children and young people such that they look forward to sessions
• bridge the gap within families that are struggling to cope
• support families so they can navigate through change and disruption harmoniously
• work with individuals to bring about positive long lasting change
• enable recovery from past trauma
• build confidence and self belief
With a successful career in delivering consultancy, management and leadership in the global corporate and financial services arena, professionalism is important to me. I then spent the next decade also studying and working in the field of NLP and counselling.
I am committed to keeping my knowledge current and enjoy continuous development. Qualifying in GESTALT Humanistic Counselling Certification in (2011), Brene Brown Wholeheartedness Training (2014), NLP Practitioner (2016) and proceeded to qualify as a specialist in NLP for children (2017), Speakmans Training (2018), and am looking forward to an accreditation in NLP Teacher and Parent in 2019. I have professional membership with the ANLP, have DBS clearance, first aid and Safeguarding and PREVENT training, and hold full indemnity insurance.
My innate ability to build rapport with people of all ages and backgrounds enables me to connect with clients in a way that is supportive and leads them to swift problem resolution.

Understanding the needs of families comes more naturally when you have a young family of your own. With two children myself, I can truly relate to and empathise with the families I work with. Family life can be difficult and demanding at the best of times and sometimes we just need a new approach to deal with the challenges that present themselves. I use my techniques successfully with my own family. I am dynamic in my approach and solution focused and with that I am quick to adapt to suit each individual client / family.
​
Having overcome tough challenges, losses, painful experiences and trauma in my own life, I feel delivering support that is compassionate and insightful is fundamental. A plan is designed for each client with their unique needs in mind and this bespoke approach means results are powerful and measurable.
Giving back to the community is really important to me and I have a personal interest in improving the quality of education. As such, I have served as a school Governor for many years now and have been Chair of various working groups to further support the teaching and learning environment of an expanding new school.
