At Balanced Life Bawtry - Affordable Counselling, I provide an open, inclusive and welcoming space for people of all backgrounds, identities and experiences, enabling you to navigate difficult times and move towards a more settled life.

Together, we will process your emotions, enabling you to heal and cultivate a life filled with greater acceptance and joy. All sessions are conducted confidentially, allowing you to be open about what matters most to you and work towards improving your emotional and mental well-being.

I have extensive experience supporting a diverse range of clients, from teenagers to seniors, as they face some of life’s toughest challenges. My work includes, but is not limited to, managing anxiety and intrusive thoughts, coping with infertility, guiding adoptive and foster parents through their  journey in either group therapy or 1-2-1.

I also support clients dealing with self-harm, suicidal thoughts, domestic and sexual abuse, neglect, bereavement, and relationship difficulties, while helping families enhance communication between parents and teenagers. 

I integrate my training in person centred counselling with insights from neuroscience, Logotherapy, Buddhist and yoga philosophies, to enhance the therapeutic experience. 

With 30 years of experience working in high-stress environments with people in trauma—20 of those years as a senior leader—I have developed a comprehensive approach to client care.

By helping clients ground themselves in the present and employing techniques of breathwork and mindfulness, I assist in cultivating a greater sense of happiness and well-being.

Together, we will address your unique challenges, empowering you to discover solutions and build resilience for a happier, healthier, and more balanced life.

I strive to create a calm and tranquil setting where you can feel at ease. Sessions can take place indoors in a comfortable, serene environment, or outdoors while walking through the woods or nearby fields, allowing you to connect with nature as you explore your thoughts and feelings. 

For those who prefer a more flexible option, I also offer online and telephone sessions, ensuring that you can access support no matter where you are. 

Whatever the setting, my focus is on providing a safe and supportive space for you to work through your challenges and move towards a more fulfilling life.
