I am a counsellor and coach with a unique blend of professional expertise and personal experience in parenting. As a parent myself to an autistic teenager, I understand firsthand the rewards and complexities that come with raising a neurodivergent child. Navigating this journey has enriched my understanding and compassion for other parents facing similar challenges.
I also know what it’s like to adapt to parenting far from home. After giving birth in a country different from my own, I had to adjust to new cultural norms and overcome language barriers. These experiences taught me resilience, patience, and the power of self-belief—all qualities I’m passionate about helping other parents develop.
I provide personalised support that recognises and respects each family’s unique story. Whether you’re transitioning from couplehood to parenthood, building self-confidence, or navigating the challenges of a neurodivergent diagnosis, I’m here to help you find your way with empathy and evidence-based guidance.
Embarking on a different professional journey after a 30-year career in education, I trained to be a counsellor and coach. This training offered a positive focus during a challenging period and provided valuable time and techniques for inward reflection.
Whether you’re dealing with stress, anxiety, transitions, communication issues, burnout, or seeking support for your child, Calming Minds provides empathetic guidance and proven techniques to help you move forward in life.
