Psychotherapy for Life Transitions & Rediscovering Purpose

Life changes — whether a career shift, relationship ending, retirement, children leaving home, health changes, or simply reaching a stage where old goals no longer fit — can leave us feeling uncertain, stuck, or disconnected from ourselves. You may find yourself asking:

“Who am I now?”
“What do I want from this next chapter?”
“Where do I find meaning and purpose?”

I provide a calm, supportive space for adults to explore these questions, process emotions, and rediscover direction and purpose. I work integratively, drawing on my training as a counsellor, bodywork therapist, and holistic practitioner, to meet you where you are — mind and body. I offer both short-term therapy for focused transitions and longer-term therapy for deeper exploration.

Alongside my professional training (Degree in Integrative Counselling & Psychotherapy, BACP-registered, 18+ years’ experience), I bring the perspective of being a daughter, mother, and wife. I understand first hand how life can shift unexpectedly and how challenging it can be to navigate change while staying true to yourself.

Clients describe me as gentle, calm, and supportive — qualities that help create a safe foundation to explore what truly matters and find a renewed sense of purpose.

✨ If you are navigating a life transition and seeking clarity or meaning, I would be honoured to support you.

Experience

I work in private practice across Farnham, Godalming, and Guildford, offering a calm and supportive space for adults navigating life transitions and searching for a deeper sense of purpose. I understand that change can feel overwhelming, whether it’s shifts in relationships, career, identity, or other major life events. My aim is to help you make sense of these experiences, reconnect with what matters most, and move forward with clarity and confidence.

I have also volunteered with The Fountain Centre, providing complementary therapies to cancer patients and their carers, and at Oakleaf Enterprises, offering counselling to people facing difficult life events, relationship challenges, or emotional struggles such as anxiety and depression.

As a BACP-registered therapist, I work ethically and professionally, providing a safe, confidential space where you can explore your feelings, uncover your values, and find new ways forward.
