My Story
We can often look back and reflect on a ‘sliding doors’ moment that shapes our life’s path.
Mine came from an anxiety attack that I couldn’t think my way out of. In the midst of my law exams I found myself, red-faced, sat in front of my tutor explaining why having a panic attack really ‘wasn’t like me’.
From there, a seed was planted.
If this uncontrollable wave of panic wasn’t me, then what was it? What did it say about me? Was it something I had to resign myself to?
Fast forward a few years into my legal career and I sat with that question again but this time not just for me. All around me I witnessed colleagues crippled with chronic stress, anxiety, imposter syndrome, fear of judgement and fear of not being good enough. I saw that it was rife at every level of the hierarchy, so neither experience or talent could be the fix.
I longed for the tools and understanding that could help me and others feel like ourselves again. I wanted to understand what it was about our minds that separated us from feeling like ourselves?
That longing spurred me on to re-train as a QCH Therapist and Coach.
Now I’m here, running my own business (something I never imagined I could do). I love working with individuals and organisations and I feel incredibly lucky that I've discovered a career path that is so rewarding.
My Beliefs
- Don’t resign yourself to being stuck. Your brain has an incredible capacity to change.
- Flexibility is the secret of my success. There’s no single tool or technique that works for everyone and every session will be tailored to you specific needs.
- You already have everything you need to get where you want to be.
- We are all fellow strugglers. I am a fellow struggler and so are you. This is what makes us human.
- Most of us stay stuck because we’re scared of failure, rejection, disappointment or criticism. Thankfully there are so many tools that can help you dissolve those fears.
- The ultimate goal of any of my programmes is to make me redundant. I want you to leave knowing you have everything you need to navigate what’s next in your life.
- I’m here to offer you a safe, confidential space so you can feel free to express yourself freely without judgement.
