Areas of work

What people bring.

In plain language, the kinds of difficulty I most often meet in my work.

Anxiety & stress

When worry won’t settle, sleep is thin, or the body stays on alert long after the day is done.

Low mood & loss

Grief, heaviness, or a quiet sense that colour has drained out of things.

Relationships

Patterns that repeat, distance that grows, or conflict that never quite resolves.

Life transitions

Endings, beginnings, and the uncertain ground in between — careers, parenthood, ageing, moves.

Identity & meaning

Questions about who you are, what matters, and how you want to live.

Past experience

Difficult or traumatic events that still shape the present, approached carefully and at your pace.

Waves meeting a quiet shore

Performers, artists & public life

I regularly work with performers, artists, those in high-stress positions and those living in the public eye, and I am attuned to the differences this work might entail.
