Our Life Coach and Founder
Hello! As the founder of Vita Nova Talking Therapies Ltd., I'm thrilled to introduce myself. With over 20 years of experience in secondary education, 7 of those being a senior leader, I have nurtured individuals of all ages and stages of life, making personal development my absolute passion. Having now left the school setting, I have followed my dedication to support people and I fulfil the role of Professional Development Lead at one of our countries 87 Teaching School Hubs. Alongside this, I am a private Life Coach, focusing on helping people overcome barriers, reach their full potential, and lead meaningful, fulfilling lives. In keeping with my passion and drive to support people, I deliver FAIB accredited Workplace Mental Health and Wellbeing CPD, as well as awareness training for educators and individuals who work with children and young people.
​
My own challenges have given me empathy and understanding for my clients, and I use a relaxed, collaborative approach based on honesty and respect. I'm known for radiating warmth, fun, and happiness and I love enabling people to succeed. If you're looking to set and achieve your life goals, then contact me today. Let's begin your transformational journey towards a happier, healthier and more fulfilling life – your Vita Nova!

Our Psychotherapist and Counsellor
Hello there! I'm a highly experienced Psychotherapist, Mnemodynamic Practitioner, NLP Practitioner and EMDR Practitioner with 19 years of experience. I'm also a proud co founder of Vita Nova Talking Therapies. Ltd. I've had the pleasure of working in a variety of different settings, including schools, colleges and medical establishments. Currently I serve as a family psychotherapist at a very well known children's hospice.
My private work is centred around you, as everyone is unique and has their own emotional challenges to navigate. I've faced challenges in my own life and understand how daunting it can be when you're faced with a brick wall. But seeking help from a psychotherapist myself was the catalyst that spurred me on to follow a career in psychotherapy and counselling. I believe in empowering change and enhancing lives, which is why I'm passionate about giving my clients the tools they need to help themselves. Let's work together to create a happier, more fulfilled life - a Vita Nova.
