When I was a little girl I always felt a bit different from other children but I didn't know why.

​

I worried about things that never crossed other kids' minds. I loved books and was passionate about my eclectic interests. I felt others' emotions and learned to adapt myself to become what they wanted.

 

I became so good at tuning into what other people wanted from me that I found myself studying for a 'sensible' law degree at Oxford University. 

​

Corporate law firms in the 1990's were tough places for sensitive types, so in my early 30's I left law and trained as a Quest Cognitive Hypnotherapist and coach, a career much more in line with my personal values and skills.

 

I had two intense and sensitive children, one so different that by the time he was seven years old we’d seen five different professionals trying to best to support him.

 

It wasn't until I went to a workshop about highly sensitive and reactive people that I discovered a model that answered the questions I'd had not only about my children, but also about myself.

 

I now use that model as part of my coaching and therapy practice to help other sensitive and intense people overcome what's been holding them back.

 

My passion is showing people that personality traits they’ve often thought of as weaknesses are actually the keys to their greatest strengths.
