" Owning our story

        and loving ourselves through that process

            is the bravest thing we will ever do "

" And the day came

    when the risk to remain tight inthe bud

            was more painful 

                  than the risk it took to bossom"

Burnout, STRESS AND WORRY  

Dealing with the toll of exhaustion and chronic pressure within your career or home life -

a reality in our every day lives.

The "Flight, Fight, Freeze " stress response is a great start to locate what your "default" and automatic responses are.

Learn to hold and manage stressful aspects of your life, as well as replenish and balance yourself igoing forward. 

AREAS OF SUPPORT 

Major CHANGES AND Transitions

Changes are happening all the time - some we can deal with. Others leave us at a loss, confused and not knowing which way to turn. 

I assist you to manage these overwhelmimg times, and to find meaning and a way to recover, adapt and move forward. We look at how to renew and rebuild after these changes and disruptions

Loss , GRIEF AND TRAUMA 

Loss and trauma happen out ot the blue.  Both can be potentially life changing.

They can leave us feeling lost, bewildered and shaken.

I offer a safe space to hold this grief and trauma. then to start to deal with it step by step. 

Learning to be with and then cope with a deep sense of loss, that something profound has shifted.   adn then to find some meaning in this and find a way forward.

MUCH TOO MUCH SADNESS, EXHAUSTION AND DEPRESSION 

Find emotional grounding , understand why you feel this way, and learn to manage this.  once understood, clearer choices can be made, skills learnt, and more proactive decisions taken.

BEING THE BEST VERSION
OF YOURSELF

We all want to be happy, and live meaningful, rich and full liesv.  To do this we need to explore who we are, what tare our highest values, and consider truthfully  how we are making choices and putting into action what we belive in. Even when difficult.

​

This also means learning to live kindly with ourselves, with all our "messy bits" and  also our resiliant life affirming qualities. 

REnewing and building
AFTER DISRUPTION

Rebuilding a purposeful "liveable" life, after changes in relationships, work, marriage, partners, and spiritual challenges.
