A bit about me ....

Engaging in meaningful conversation is something that sets my inner being alight. And the challenge of helping others is my heart driven desire. Having lived on three continents, (Europe, Africa and Asia) and holding three Citizenships (British, Australian and South African) I have met and made friends with people from diverse cultures. Personal connections epitomise my reason for being.

As a child, growing up in a small village in the Midlands of England I found people intriguing. My mother and I would play a game called ‘People Watch’ whilst waiting for my dad to arrive at the bus stop. I remember clearly, noticing that each and every person was unique. And as life’s path began to unfold on my journey, so I discovered, how very unique, and on purpose each and every person is. We are all complex, both open to and sometimes anxious about change. Hence we need to communicate fully, listen well and associate with all aspects of our being.

It’s those bumpy parts of the journey that really and truly create the person you are intended to be. Although adversity may bring emotional heartbreak, financial failures, fear of failure and unexpected health issues, these challenges force our life path to branch out and over difficult terrain. This is where Counselling can become a best friend and a helping hand to steer you through the dips, troughs and snares.

My work has not always been involved in Counselling. While in South Africa, I worked for many years in Corporate in shipping, construction and FMCG, as well owning various small businesses. People and their needs were always important to me. More recently, in my seven years, living in Dubai I found the Expat Society extremely diverse and interesting. Over time I joined many groups with different cultures, food, religions, and geographics were an everyday pleasure. The multiple languages I heard spoken on the beach and in shopping malls, and calls to prayer, became an eclectic choir of daily comfort.

In 2017 I qualified as a Counsellor with The Blackford Centre for Counselling SA and UK. I did this while living in Dubai where life had taken on new directions in a Compassion Sharing Group, a Dinner Club, a weekly Coffee Group, and hosting various types of World Class Training Courses. All the time I worked with people from mixed backgrounds and cultures.

Now based in Oxford, England. I offer my skillset in counselling to those in need, Whether, it be to simply meet up for a cup of coffee and a chat, or even connect online, via a confidential link, Zoom, Skype, FaceTime, etc. And offer a variety of counselling techniques to suit your needs.

It will be a delight to work with you and allow TiE Counselling help you find the pieces of your puzzle.

I am on purpose for you!
