For women who carry a lot.

I'm also a mother of two and stepmother of three, and I understand some of the complexities that can come with parenting, blended families, divorce and co-parenting. I've experienced the 'juggle' of parenting, work and study, the competing responsibilities, deadlines and mental load that can come with trying to keep multiple parts of life moving at once.

With this comes different roles at the same time, mother, stepmother, daughter, sister, auntie, friend, employee and leader. Each can be meaningful, but together they can also leave very little space for the person underneath all those roles.

I don't assume that my experiences are the same as yours. Your circumstances, relationships and experiences are uniquely your own. But my own experiences have shaped my understanding of how easy it can be for women's needs to move further and further down the list.

My approach to counselling isn't about helping you become more efficient at carrying everything. It's about creating space to understand what's happening, what you're carrying, the expectations or patterns that may be contributing to it, and what YOU need too.

Our work might involve anxiety, burnout, mental load, guilt, boundaries, relationships, perfectionism, self-worth, identity or simply finding your way back to a stronger sense of yourself.

You spend a lot of your life thinking about what other people need.

Counselling is one place where the focus can be on you.
