My interest in helping people to overcome challenges has always been a part of me.
I read books about therapy and personal development as a child and was fascinated by the potential we all have to live our best lives despite challenges we may face.
Training as a counsellor & Hypnotherapist..
(amongst other things) was a logical step for me and it helped me to build on my interests and passions. Over the years since establishing my private practice in 2011, I have worked with countless clients on widely varied issues. My goal is always to support you to move past whatever problems you are facing to find the state of peace and wellbeing you are looking for. I love to help you identify your strengths, develop coping mechanisms, learn how to better manage your thoughts and ultimately achieve your goals. I have developed my areas of specialism and my own unique methods that have been tried and tested over years of experience.
I am a mum of two..
..young children so I am a big believer in real world support and advice that fits into your life easily. I believe that every single one of us has the ability to change our lives when we make the decision to do something different, learn and grow. This is why Managing Minds exists - to empower you to find the techniques and strategies to support you to live a happier and more peaceful life, through of course knowing how to manage your mind.
