An injury doesn’t just affect your body. It can impact your confidence, identity, relationships, work, mood and sense of purpose.

Supporting You Beyond the Physical
Whether you’re a runner, cyclist, all-round sportsperson or an individual navigating injury or a long-term health condition, I offer compassionate, evidence-based counselling and coaching that supports both emotional wellbeing and personal growth.
Recovery is about more than healing the body. We can explore rebuilding confidence, finding acceptance, and rediscovering who you are beyond the setback.
Sometimes the hardest part isn’t the injury, diagnosis, or life transition itself, it’s adjusting to everything that changes because of it.
Ready to begin?
If you’re ready to explore how counselling can support you, I invite you to book a complimentary 15-minute call. Together, we’ll discuss what’s been happening, what you need most right now, and whether we’re the right fit to work together. Whatever you’re facing, you deserve support that meets you where you are, honours your unique experience, and helps you move forward with compassion and hope.
I work with clients face-to-face from my private practice, welcoming people from Wimborne, Bournemouth, Poole, Blandford, and the surrounding areas. For those who prefer greater flexibility or are based further afield, I also offer online counselling sessions.
