Move. Connect. Heal.
For a long time my life revolved around movement; training, competing, and pushing my body and mind. Then chronic illness forced me to slow down in ways I never expected. My body changed. My capacity changed. And with that came a deeper understanding of resilience, identity, and mental health.
I learned firsthand that mental wellbeing isn’t built only through talking, and it isn’t built only through movement, it’s created when the two harmoniously come together. Some of my most powerful moments of clarity didn’t happen sitting still, but whilst walking, breathing, or gently reconnecting with my body.
The Active Counsellor was born from this lived experience, alongside my professional background in counselling, coaching, and sport. I support people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of their next step - especially those navigating change, illness, pressure, or a loss of identity.
My Approach
My approach is holistic, flexible, and deeply human because there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Some days you may need space to talk, on others movement can unlock what words can’t. Together, we work in a way that meets you exactly where you are.
I don’t believe in fixing people. I believe in walking or exercising alongside you as you rebuild trust in yourself, strengthen resilience, and find clarity through life’s challenges. My aim is to remove the stigma around counselling by offering support in a safe environment of your choice.
Whether through conversation, movement, or a combination of both, my goal is to create a supportive space where you feel heard, grounded, and empowered to move forward at your own pace. This is a modern, unique approach to improving both physical and mental wellbeing.
My therapy is open and inclusive, welcoming people of all ages. I have experience supporting children, teenagers, adults, high performers, athletes, and individuals living with chronic illness.
