BCouns, MNZCCA
I have been married to my husband Don since 1996, we have three children (two teenagers, and one adult). Prior to becoming a counsellor, I worked in a financial role for a Police Trust who supported young offenders and their families to rebuild their lives on new foundations. I also volunteered in our church's local community outreach and engaged with many people from all walks of life.
​
I am passionate about people achieving wholeness no matter what background they come from, or what issue it is they are struggling with. In 1999 I went through my own personal struggle with anxiety, panic attacks, grief, and depression after a couple of miscarriages. My journey to wholeness has supported my counselling practice by gaining understanding of the pain of suffering that comes from emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual illness. I have a strong faith and hope in God that underpins my counselling practice.
