Fulden

Hello, and welcome to my page! I am so happy you made it here :)

Let me tell you a little bit about me if we haven't met before:

I am a working mum of 2 beautiful kids. I am a registered Mental Health Nurse in the UK with over 16 years' experience. I am trained in CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing and leadership skills amongst others.

I believe in the wholeness of the person, their thinking and their potential. I hold hope for each client and their potential to make changes to live a more balanced and fulfilled life.

I subscribe to Three Principles by Sidney Banks as well as Carl Rogers' principles of empathy and unconditional positive regard that he proposes in his humanistic approach.

The mental health challenges and life transitions that lie close to my heart are helping:

-          mums find their identity after motherhood,

-          working moms return to work / change career or jobs after maternity leave while maintaining work / life balance,

-          professional women find resilience, balance, calm and hope after stress, burnout and overwhelm,

-          women manage or leave dependent relationships.

These are all areas I have struggled with and come through my own coaching sessions. I know all about the sleepless nights feeling so overwhelmed and anxious. I know about the guilt of feeling like you're not doing enough for your family or children. I know about the guilty feelings of dropping the ball and not attending your child's play or completely forgetting about PE day because you read the e-mail, but got distracted and didn't put it in your diary. I know about dreading going to work because you feel so unappreciated at work that you stopped trying to lead and let the balls drop.

My clients tend to find me supportive, caring, kind as well as gently challenging their thinking to nudge old thinking patterns to make space for new ones.

When I am not coaching or nursing or spending time with family and friends, you will find me learning new skills as growth is one of my core values. As well as learning new approaches to coaching and mental health nursing, I have also thrown myself head first into dancing. This was a choice I made 18 months ago to prioritise myself as a direct result of being coached myself. It gives me my me time without any other hats on, and lets me be ME!

It would be my privilege to help you find you again :)
