My journey into psychotherapy & coaching grew from a longstanding curiosity about people, what shapes us, how we adapt and why some experiences continue to affect the way we feel, relate and move through life.

Over the years, working with people through change and challenge has shown me that lasting change rarely comes from practical solutions alone. It often begins with feeling understood, making sense of our experiences and seeing ourselves more clearly.

My own experiences of loss, change, caring responsibilities and the challenges that can come with midlife have also shaped the way I work. They have given me a deeper appreciation of the questions many of us face around identity, belonging, relationships, changing roles and purpose - particularly at times when life no longer looks or feels quite as it once did. Above all, they have reinforced for me how important it is to feel seen, understood and able to live authentically.

These experiences led me to train as a psychotherapist and later develop my work in therapeutic coaching. North Cove brings these different strands together to offer thoughtful, grounded support that starts with you - your experiences, your identity, what matters to you and the changes you hope to make.
