About Me

My struggles with ill mental health came to a head (pardon the pun) back in 1995 when I experienced severe postnatal depression. I spent many weeks in a mother and baby unit until my medication and support was in place.   

In the years that followed, I received many diagnoses including anxiety and panic disorders, participated in hours of therapies and read a lifetime's supply of self-help books.    

​

Having lived through the isolation of ill mental health, loss of hope and utter despair it can bring, my desire is that no one has to take it on alone.​​​​

​

With a qualification in counselling skills I decided to train as a mental health first aider which was followed by further education in the mental health sector. 

​

I wanted to create a service that supported people at any stage of their wellbeing journey and that bridged the gaps within mental health support system.

 

Using online sessions, followed up with written reports, I aim to assist those needing information and professional help by providing a one to one, confidential and non-judgemental space.
