I have over 40 years experience in the personal growth and development field,  have been running personal and spiritual development groups since 2002 and began my Golden Touch Counselling practice in 2014. I have worked with individuals, couples, pregnant women and teenagers.  I currently run a private  practice including: Counselling, Reiki Healing, teaching local Yoga classes and Breast (for women undergoing breast changes or mastectomies) and Pregnancy Body Casting.

I am passionate about empowering people to come into a healthy and caring relationship with themselves and their body;  to free up self-critical or damaging thoughts or beliefs. When we discover our truths, whatever they may be, we can experience greater self- acceptance and inner calm… .we give up the inner fight against ourselves.  This can also lead to  more meaningful and fulfilling relationships, both personally and in our workplace or community. 

All people have a natural need to feel secure within, safe and loved. As a practitioner I hold a ‘head-torch’ with you to illuminate both where you are at, and where you would like to be. I offer a safe, confidential space for healing and growth, bringing compassion, respect, attentive caring presence and non-judgemental, deep listening. I endeavour to intuitively offer appropriate wisdom or guidance, supporting you to make sense of your current circumstances and, as a result experience enduring growth and transformation.

In these times of great change in our personal life, in society and on the planet as a whole, we are being stretched and tested; to face challenges, trust our instincts and make decisions that feel aligned with who we are. I, like many of us, have had major life challenges which have grown and strengthened me over the years. Throughout it all, my connection to nature and a greater internal energy or Source connection has carried me giving me the strength, resilience and courage to keep going. This has in turn, inspired my counselling practice and capacity to have empathy and care for those who are courageously facing challenges and need support

In my spare time I enjoy growing my own food and herbs, horse-riding, dancing, walks in nature and being with my dear cat. I value my relationship with my ageing mother, and with dear friends who keep my heart buoyant and mind at peace.
