It can feel difficult, confusing & daunting  navigating our relationships at work, amongst friends, family, romantic partners and not least, the hardest of all,  navigating ourselves! Pheew!  People!!   -  Therefore I endeavour to create generous spaces where we can explore the simplest way to cultivate compassion, connection, understanding & growth.

I work both online & in person with:

• Professional Settings
• Couples
• Individuals

Professional settings:  Organisations, Charities, Co-ops, Businesses who

• Experience tensions between staff, leaders, executives & volunteers
• Recognise patterns and habits that are not serving the needs of individuals or the organisation.  
• Choose to nurture empathy, clear communication, connection &  harmony within the workspace. 

Couples :   I offer therapeutic coaching for those who yearn 

• Harmony
• To seek deeper connection and to be heard & understood by one another.  
• To transform historical hurts and wounds.
• Are willing to take the time  for self exploration and to practise the exercises.

Individuals:   who are wanting:

• Clarity about the next steps in life.  
• Support with relationships; (parents, children, partners, friends, work colleagues).    
• Explorations into parts of themselves that are stuck or carrying pain including grief, addiction and trauma.

More about me: 

Co-creating & living in an off grid community (Abundant Earth Durham UK)  for many years has gifted me many wondrous joys AND challenges to learn from!   I am  privileged to experience the seasons living through me, the growing of food, and a deep connection to nature.  Bringing people together & cultivating spaces where people experience belonging, empathy, mattering & fun brings me joy. I hold space in various ways in my community; women circles, grief circles, NVC events, crafts events, growing food.    I am a circle lead for the UK Annual Gathering of NVC Facilitators,  have hosted an NVC candidate assessment event & currently part of  an IIT organising team.

I enjoy learning & practising Internal Family Systems (IFS) techniques, dancing & meditation. I have a partner of 30 years, 2 sons aged 23 & 16.  I am embracing wrinkles easier than grey hair!
