Providing mental health support to adolescents and adults in the Vevey, Lausanne and Geneva area
Who am I?
I was born in the UK but have lived in the french speaking part of Switzerland, with my family, for over twenty years. I became Swiss a number of years ago.​
​
I have supported adolescents and adults in different roles for nearly thirty years. ​I am registered with the Swiss Association of Counsellors (SGfB) and the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (MBACP).​
I’m all about fresh air, scenic walks with my labrador, Cookie, and indulging in a bit of chocolate bliss! I’m a proud mum of two adult sons, a wife, daughter and sister. I love to explore new places and create joyful memories with my loved ones, who are near and far!​
​
I'm a life long learner with a Bachelors of Science in Psychology and a Masters in Counselling.
What is my approach?
I’m pleased you asked!​ As a person-centered counsellor, our relationship will be one of the most important parts of therapy and as you become ready, our sessions will empower you to take control of your well-being journey.
​
I integrate different therapies to suit your needs. This may include mindfulness, CBT, existential, body-mind and other techniques.
However, princially I am an Internal Family Systems (IFS) Practioner (Level 2 certification being completed this year). IFS is a non-pathologizing evidence-based, transformative psychotherapy that aims to heal wounded parts within us, to restore mental balance and harmony.
​
Please ask me about my approach, I would love to discuss it with you!
Who are you?
Do you need support dealing with stress, anxiety, depression or grief? Are you having difficulties at school or college or with relationships?
​
Are you relying on alcohol and/or substances more and more to help you cope? Are you worried about your eating patterns but don't know who to talk to? Are your coping strategies no longer working or are you ashamed of them? Do you want to replace them with healthier choices?
​
I can help you make changes to achieve your goals and to remember, acknowledge and access your inner strength and wisdom.
You may need help with parenting, life transitions, anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem or work-related challenges. You would be so welcome too! I love working with adults too, in a postive and affirming way.
Providing you with the very best care possible is important to me, so I focus on my areas of expertise and help you find specialist care elsewhere, if necessary.
​
I work with people from different cultures, neurodiverse or typical. Whatever your identity or background, you will be welcome. If you need a safe, warm, confidential space to be truly heard and seen, I am here for you.
