About

Thank you for visiting my website.

I am a qualified counsellor and spiritual coach, well-being trainer and author of Answers In The Dark: Grief, Sleep and How Dreams Can Help You Heal. My community work is aimed at helping people find what I call their ‘mojo’ (purpose or motivation) and get their sparkle back, often during or after a difficult time in their lives.

Purchase Answers In The Dark

I have designed and delivered bespoke bereavement awareness and well-being training nationally, to public sector services including police officers, nurses, paramedics and search and rescue teams. I also provide Mindful Leadership Training and wellness programmes to international, corporate clients. I have a special interest in dreams and sleep, appearing on TV shows like ITV’s This Morning and Loose Women. (You can find out more about this further down the page).

My mission is to deliver meaningful training that helps people, organisations and communities find their ‘mojo’ and get their sparkle back, especially during or after difficult times. This includes fostering connection through whole-hearted dialogue that facilitates meaningful change, and delivering compassionate education on difficult topics with a primary focus on wellness and well-being. I believe in the power of human potential and, through the extensive involvement I’ve had facilitating peer support, know that communities can work together to help create a more peaceful and enlightened society.

I follow a Buddhist way of life.

Professional Career

I started my therapeutic career in 2002, where I supported those bereaved by murder and suicide, including attending inquests at coroner’s court. I have also worked across the private, public and third sectors including in a FTSE100 company, a national charity and in the NHS, in management and leadership roles.

Peer Support

In 2004, I established a unique website and ran peer support group for two years dedicated to Pregnancy Mental Health, following my own experiences. As a result, I featured in several popular magazines on this topic, including Pregnancy and Birth and Natural Health magazines, and featured on radio programmes like Radio 4’s Women’s Hour. (You can see a full list of tv and media appearances below).

Later, I led a peer mentoring service for three years with a well-known mental health charity, offering relevant training to volunteers and helping establish the goals of those using the service.

During the pandemic I also ran a bereavement peer support group for grieving people and set up A Grief Note™ on Twitter.

Book(s)

I am the author of Answers In The Dark: Grief, Sleep and How Dreams Can Help You Heal. The book aims to join the dots between our sleep, dreams and our mental health, specifically how grief shows up even if no one has died. It explores some of the big myths of sleep, offers a Sleep Cycle Repair Kit and some tips on how to decode your own dreams.

Qualifications and Training

My qualifications are in Therapeutic Counselling, Delivering Adult Learning and Management and Leadership. I am also a Mental Health First Aider and authentically trained in Mindfulness. I ensure I engage with continuing professional development throughout the year, so that the learning I provide remains up to date.

I also trained with the National Homicide Service, Victim Support, and Women’s Aid. I am accredited to work with victims of crime, including those escaping domestic abuse.

Charity Work

I have volunteered for a number of organisations, including those who support grieving people, often bereaved by murder or suicide. I also give my time for free as an Independent Advisor and Community Ambassador for national conversations that focus on ending male violence against women and girls including domestic abuse. I chose this work for reasons close to my heart. The national domestic abuse helpline in the U.K. is 0808 2000 247.

I also volunteer with a local emergency response team, providing emotional support as needed in the event of a major incident.

I also work for a charity in my spare time that transports patients with cancer to hospital for their treatment, that won the Queens Award for Voluntary Service.
