A Supportive Place to Grow

I am extremely passionate about child and family mental health and am a qualified Mental Health Coach, providing coaching for the whole family, both parents and children. I am certified as a Level 5 Parent Coach and also have a Level 4 Diploma in Child & Adolescent Coaching, recognised by ACCPH and IAPCM. 

I am also the Founder and Director of Guiding Hearts & Minds, delivering outdoor Mental Health activities for the whole family, providing a safe space for parents and children to connect, spend time in nature together and explore their emotions in a healthy way, learning new strategies and coping mechanisms for their everyday lives. 

As your Coach, I also bring with me over 20 years’ experience working as a Primary School Teacher mainly in Early Years classes, and I was an Early Years Teacher and Well-being coordinator in a local nursery from 2017 to 2024. 

I am also a Mental Health First Aider for both Adults and Youths. I attend regular coaching and wellbeing trainings to ensure that my knowledge remains relevant and up to date and so that I can support my coaching clients in the most successful ways. 

I strongly believe that if we encourage all children to talk about how they are feeling, and to understand that talking about emotions is important, then we are giving them skills for life. This applies to grown-ups too. If I can help you, your child or adolescent do get in touch to discuss booking an appointment.
