Can I help you?  I hope so.  This is a little about me and the kind of changes my clients experience.  I believe anyone can transform and change their lives including stress level, emotional state, or sleep for the better.  Sometimes people do this themselves, sometimes they benefit from a little guidance or a helping hand. 

I work with clients in a solution focussed way, where we enable you to get to where you want to be.  There is an increasing amount of evidence that we are not as "hard-wired" as once was thought and we change almost as often as we experience changes - which is all the time.  In fact a degree of flexibility can be a sign of resilience and personal strength and without it we can feel stuck.​​

​

However, change is sometimes easier said than done, and might feel daunting or provoke a bit of anxiety - that's not unusual.  From time to time we might struggle with old fears or habits; unhealthy lifestyles or stress.   Using a combination of techniques, I work with clients to guide and empower them to make the changes they want for themselves.

​​

My previous clients have been a complete inspiration to me seeing how they have put in the changes they want to their lives and how they continue to thrive.

​

I have been helping my clients make the changes they want in life, since 2008 and caring for people in different ways since I started my nurse training in 1980 (so long ago).

​

I was delighted to be featured on a BBC Alba documentary looking at different ways to stop smoking and have worked with clients over the years who have successfully made changes that improve their well being and health including stopping tobacco or nicotine use, as well as alcohol and other substances and other habits.  My clients' health and welfare is really important to me.

​
