I’m a counsellor with a real passion for supporting people through life’s ups and downs. I was born in Wales and have called several places home over the years, including Australia, Spain, Germany, and now the Netherlands. Living across cultures has taught me a great deal about change and belonging. Starting over can be full of possibility, but it can also feel disorienting and lonely. I understand both sides of that experience.
Much of what I bring to counselling comes from both personal and professional life experience. Before training as a counsellor, I spent many years raising my son and supporting my husband’s consultancy business. These roles shaped how I listen and relate to others, teaching me patience, empathy, and the importance of staying present with what is, rather than rushing to solutions.
In my sessions, I aim to create a space that feels steady, respectful, and human. Somewhere you do not have to hold everything together or have all the answers. Whether you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin, we start with what is here and take things from there.
Sometimes our work involves talking things through. At other times, it means slowing down and noticing what is happening in the body, or sitting quietly until something begins to make sense. I work at your pace and follow what feels most real and meaningful for you in each moment.
I work with people from many different backgrounds, both in the Netherlands and internationally. My experience of living in different countries often helps me connect with those adjusting to new places, cultures, or identities, though my work is not limited to this. My door is open to anyone who wants to pause, reflect, and make sense of where they are in their life.
My time in Australia was especially influential, as it is where I was introduced to a more holistic way of living. This continues to shape how I work today. I believe growth happens when we stay curious, listen carefully to ourselves, and allow space for both mind and body to speak.
I trained at the Academy for Coaching and Counselling in The Netherlands, where I now also teach. Supporting new counsellors as they grow in confidence and find their own voice keeps me grounded and connected to what matters most in this work. Genuine connection changes things.
