I live in Wiltshire with my partner, Roger. We like to sit in our garden watching the vegetables and flowers grow and listening to the blackbirds and sparrows. This is real life – simple, in harmony with nature. In the 21st century, we too easily become disconnected from our natural selves. Faster seems to be regarded as better. But are all of our worldly achievements and material possessions helping us to live a happy life? In our lifetimes, we have learned to believe things that not really true. We have become conditioned by fear and the need for approval. We conform in order to have an “easy” life. We list the reasons why we cannot live the life we want. There is often a conflict inside us that we try to ignore but can’t make go away.

I have spent the last 13 years studying various helping techniques, including counselling, holistic massage and astrology, and also developing my intuitive gifts. Alongside astrology, I have developed my own way of “helping through talking”. I aim to help people recognise and then unlearn unconscious habits or patterns that have been running their lives, often for decades. Astrology provides a sense of where we are on our life’s journey and indicates our potentials, which we can use for good or ill. I use the birth chart to help identify, in discussion with clients, the behaviours and patterns that are causing distress. I help clients to reconnect with their own truth, to find new, more productive ways to work with the challenges in their lives and to get excited about being alive instead of struggling and resisting their own true natures. There is no once and for all “cure” for the things that pain us. Emotional healing is an unfolding, ongoing learning process, which can bring us ever-greater joy, wisdom and empowerment as the years go by. Sometimes we seem to grow in “quantum leaps”, but periods of adjustment and integration are all part of growing too. As a believer in lifelong growth and learning, I continue to study astrology, counselling and emotional healing techniques. My own emotional and spiritual development is a priority. I have been doing self-development work with clients for more than 10 years. Face to face consultations are available in Wiltshire and occasionally in Suffolk. I also work with people on the telephone by appointment. Click on the e-mail link to contact me with questions or to arrange a consultation.
