ABOUT ME

If you are tired of doing life on your own and long to be in a loving partnership, I know how you feel.

If you are confused and bemused by your single status and wondering if you'll ever find love, I know how you feel.

If you are bored or soul-dead in your career and long to feel passionate and alive again, I know how you feel.

If you feel down, depressed, overwhelmed or burnt out, I know how you feel.

The good news is, transformation is possible. It requires courage and support, but it's available to all of us.

My story attests to that.

I woke up on my 41st birthday in my lovely North London flat and cried into my stylish pyjamas. I'd worked so hard for this so why did I feel so empty and alone? I was single, with no partner to bring me breakfast in bed and no patter of tiny feet on the wooden floors. Why hadn't I managed to make a relationship work? What had I been striving for all these years?

I also felt lost in my career. I'd worked hard and climbed high. I'd travelled with prime ministers as a Reuters correspondent and sipped champagne in Downing Street and the White House. I'd lived and worked in Mexico and Brazil. I'd reported on earthquakes, tsunamis and terrorist attacks. Yet I no longer felt fulfilled in that role. My authentic self was crying out to do something else and to work at my own pace.

I went through burnout, breakdown and depression. I healed from self-harming behaviours including an eating disorder, workaholism, perfectionism and dysfunctional relationships with men who wouldn't commit. I went on a journey of self-discovery and I transformed myself, from the inside out.

The results have been incredible.

I am now married to a wonderful man and I live near the sea in Dorset. I have written a book and am writing a few more, and I've transformed my career. I now coach, write and speak from the heart, with the goal of helping others to transform their lives and find fulfillment, balance, peace and a healthy and loving relationship.

Over the past 16 years, I've had the privilege of mentoring and coaching others to heal their relationship with themselves and to form healthy relationships with others and I would love to have the chance to work with you, should we be the right fit.

I believe my biggest achievement to date is forming and maintaining a healthy and loving relationship, followed closely by publishing my first book and changing my career.

I am an experienced communicator and an intuitive empath, with a gift for understanding what's really going on inside my clients, behind the words and the mask, and for understanding their patterns in work and in life.

 I alsoI also have a diploma in counselling and psychotherapy skills from the Westminster Pastoral Association in London, a degree from Oxford University and I'm a graduate and fellow of the School for Social Entrepreneurs. I speak fluent Spanish and Portuguese.

I've lectured at universities, spoken in schools and appeared on national television and radio, including on BBC Newsnight and Woman's Hour. My writing on self-love and relationships has been published in the national media, including Red, Psychologies, Good Housekeeping, The Daily Mail and the Guardian. I blog regularly for Psychologies magazine's Life Labs expert blogging platform. You can read my Psychologies blogs here. I also blog on my own site, From Forty With Love.
