Who am I?
I was born in the UK but have lived in Switzerland with my family for over twenty years.
​
I have supported young people and adults in different roles for nearly thirty years. Currently, I have a private practice with offices near Vevey and in Lutry. I also work at a university in St-Legier.
​
I am registered with the Swiss Association of Counsellors (SGfB) and the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (MBACP). I have a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Masters in Counselling.
​
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!

What is my approach?
I’m pleased you asked!​ As a person-centered counsellor, our relationship will be an important part of therapy. When you are ready, 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.
I am an Internal Family Systems (IFS) Practioner (certified Level 1). 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, if you would like to know more.
Who are you?
You, or your son or daughter, may need support dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, difficulties at school or relationship challenges. You may need help with life transitions, low self-esteem, parenting issues or work-related challenges.
I use a trauma-informed therapeutic approach called Internal Family Systems (IFS). With years of experience working with young people, I also address issues related to addiction, disordered eating, and self-harm.
This is not an exhaustive list, but I do focus on my areas of expertise to ensure you receive the best possible support. If you're not sure if I can help, please ask. If you require an approach or expertise that I can not offer, I will help you find the resources and support you need.
​
You may just need a safe, confidential space to talk, be truly heard and seen. Whatever your identity or background, you will be welcome.​​
