The Story Behind The therapist
I didn’t just wake up one day and decide to become a therapist. My life made me one.
I wasn’t handed an easy life.
I grew up in a strict religious cult where fear and silence were the rules, and abuse was part of my daily reality.
I was taught to stay small, stay quiet, and just survive.
When I was 2 years old, the cult took my dad from me.
He became the first man in medical and legal history to be forced into a blood transfusion against his will.
He died for his beliefs, and losing him broke my heart.
It also sparked something inside me: a hunger for freedom.
So, at 16 years old, I ran—away from the cult, away from everything I knew.
Freedom sounds great, right?
But leaving wasn’t the happy ending I’d hoped for.
It was just the beginning of a new kind of hardship.
Running meant homelessness, fear, and figuring out life completely on my own.
I thought I’d finally found stability with a kind man,
but instead, I found myself trapped in an abusive relationship with a narcissist who stole my everything.
And then, as if life hadn’t tested me enough, cancer came.
Turning Point
When cancer arrived, I made a decision: I wasn’t going to let it win.
After two years of grueling chemotherapy, I became the first person to survive a groundbreaking stem cell transplant, and surviving wasn’t just about my body—it was about reclaiming my life.
Piece by piece, I rebuilt myself.
All those years of navigating chaos had given me a sixth sense.
I could feel what others were going through, see the patterns holding them back, and understand what they needed to heal.
I embraced this gift and combined it with 6 years rigorous training to become a therapist, a coach, and a healer
to British University Degree Level and beyond.
And let me tell you—
my life's work isn’t your average therapy.
I’ve spent decades honing psychological skills and tools that go way beyond the basics, weaving in my psychic insights to offer a depth of healing most therapists simply can’t match.
My Life Today
I live on a cosy boho houseboat, surrounded by a nature reserve, ducks, and the occasional curious seal, with Pudding, my little dog who runs the boat (and my heart), and 3 cats: Lady Lilibet of Downton Tabby, my British Shorthair Diva with a title to match, Cat Stevens, my chilled-out hippie dude & Baby Alfred King of the Cheeseboard, a mischievous, multi-coloured troublemaker.
I love to paint huge canvasses.
I'm a frustrated 70s classic rock star who can’t sing
(but hey, there’s still time).
My role models? Stevie Nicks for her goddess energy and empowering lyrics, and Lagertha from Vikings for her fierce independence and killer outfits.
I'm an excellent companion on a road trip and can be relied on to bring snacks, playlists and stories to keep all entertained for hours.
I'm the live wire people gravitate to for hugs, laughter and honest-to-goodness wisdom.
But let’s be honest, life isn’t always picture-perfect.
This is real life. And that’s the kind of therapist I am—real.
