Background
Before becoming a counsellor, I spent many years as a Registered Nurse, working in various healthcare settings. My time in nursing allowed me to develop a deep understanding of the challenges people face when navigating illness, loss, and life's unpredictable moments. It was during this period that I realized my passion for helping others extended beyond physical care, leading me to pursue counselling to support individuals emotionally through life's difficult transitions.
I moved here from the UK 18 years ago, love travel and spending time on my farm with my dogs and horses.
