Life's challenges are easier to navigate when we face them together.
About The Village Therapies
They say it takes a village to raise a child, and we believe that community is just as important for adults as it is for children. A strong community enriches our lives and helps us face challenges together. The Village Therapies offers a trusted support system to help families grow, adapt, and navigate life’s changes. Whether you’re facing challenges or seeking to evolve, we provide one-on-one support, group sessions, and events designed to guide you along the way. You’re not alone.
I am a qualified Person-Centred counsellor with experience supporting both adults and children. I hold a degree in Advice, Guidance, and Counselling, a diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, and additional qualifications in counselling for children and grief support. I am also a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). While I am trained to work with a wide range of issues, my specialism is supporting families through challenging times.
​
My professional background includes working in children’s care homes, secondary schools, sixth forms, and various charities, including The Island, as well as providing online counselling to clients across the UK. I have worked with individuals facing issues such as anxiety, low self-confidence, relationship difficulties, self-harm, bereavement, and trauma.
​
I recognise that parenthood can be incredibly demanding, and that families often don't receive the support they need, which can lead to additional stress. Whether it’s helping children cope with school or behavioural challenges, supporting parents through anxiety, navigating family separation, or processing loss, I understand how these issues can affect the whole family. Without the right support, they can become overwhelming, straining relationships and other areas of life.
I am passionate about creating a safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their concerns, gain clarity, and work towards meaningful change. My goal is to help families build stronger foundations, cope with challenges, and move forward with confidence.

Groups and Events
​​Support groups for people facing the same challenges provide a safe space to share experiences and feelings. They create a sense of community, helping individuals realise they're not alone in their struggles. People can exchange advice, coping strategies, and encouragement, which can boost emotional well-being and resilience. Our events will give people a chance to learn new skills, practice self-care, and meet others with similar interests.

NADA Ear Acupuncture
The NADA treatment involves gently placing up to five sterilised needles in specific points in the outer ear which can promote relaxation and reduce anxiety. These points may help with issues like fear, aggression, and grief. The treatment sends signals to the brain that release endorphins, which can lower stress. Developed in the 1970s for addiction recovery, NADA has also been used for various conditions and trauma recovery by groups like Acupuncturists Without Borders.
