About
As a former humanitarian aid worker, I’ve always lived my purpose of supporting people in times of need. After experiencing my own personal struggles, as well as caring for a parent with a degenerative neurological condition, I understand what it can feel like to have to face fears and overcome challenges every day. I know that kind, caring support can go a long way, and I am an empathetic, patient and understanding person who can provide that. I’ve seen people in their worst moments, and have walked through my own dark times. I am no stranger to hardship, but I know that even in tough times there are moments of respite, enjoyment and beauty. Simple things like the sunshine on your skin, a deep breath, a pleasant conversation, cooking a delicious meal, or doing a fun activity. These things can carry one through, create joy, and build resilience. I love connecting with people, am calm, positive and fun. I enjoy the simple pleasures of life, and would love to get to know the interests of my clients so we can enjoy them together. I am also an adaptable and pragmatic person who can provide support and walk alongside clients to help identify and gradually face barriers getting in the way of enjoying life. I am passionate about good mental and physical health and embracing a balanced lifestyle. I love walking, being in nature, socialising, cooking, playing backgammon, organising, exercising, learning new things, and much more. I run my own small online wellness business and love working on my website, creating products, planning and budgeting. I have managed diverse teams of people working in very difficult conditions in different countries around the world. I can break big problems down into realistic steps, and provide the guidance, support and motivation to help achieve goals, big or small.
