About Me

I was educated at a Steiner School in Germany and was brought up to see the whole person in the context of their community. We learned that everybody has a place in their community and a role to play in that community’s wellbeing. 

At school and at university, I volunteered working with the homeless and refugees. I also worked for a therapist who offered hippotherapy (physiotherapy on horseback).

​

For many years, I worked with young adults with learning disabilities in a residential college. I helped them to become more independent and how to be active members in their community. Many of the young people also developed a greater sense of self esteem and the courage to do their own thing.

While there, I trained as person centred counsellor and also in hypnotherapy and equine facilitated therapy. I continue to support autistic adults and am  training further to help especially Asperger’s women and women with Asperger’s spouses.

​

I love the outdoors and use the varied landscapes of the West Country like a sensory garden. Different areas can evoke quite different feelings and I like to explore those links between ourselves and the outdoor world..

I work very much with the whole person, which means I pay attention to all those things that can influence the way we feel like surroundings, connectedness, habits, relationships, nutrition and exercise.

I live in Somerton with my husband and 2 cats.
