About
Healing of the inner spirit - transforming anxiety and worry
There comes a time in life when we realise we are not finished yet.
​
Not because something is wrong, but because something within us is ready to grow, to open, to become more of who we truly are. The Heart of Us was created for that time - the quiet turning toward a new chapter.
​
This space now focuses on gentle encouragement, reflective tools, and hopeful perspective for people moving forward in life. It is about recognising the strengths you already carry and learning to trust the part of you that is still unfolding.
​
My Path
I have worn many creative and caring hats over the years. My early professional life was rooted in art, design, and teaching - helping others discover their voice through creative expression.
​
Later, I was drawn into deeper professional studies and worked for many years in therapeutic and healing-focused roles. That chapter of my life involved supporting people through anxiety, worry, and the effects of difficult life experiences, whilst also undertaking my own personal healing work along the way.
​
Those years taught me profound respect for the resilience of the human spirit, and for the quiet strength people carry even in hard seasons.
​
Today, my work has evolved.
​
Rather than clinical or therapeutic practice, I now focus on encouragement, reflection, and personal growth - offering resources that help people reconnect with their inner steadiness, imagine new possibilities, and take gentle steps toward the life that is calling them forward.
​
What I Create Now
Through writing, reflective guides, journals, and supportive resources, I offer companionship for times of transition and becoming.
You will find materials that help you:
-
reflect on where you are in life
-
recognise the wisdom you’ve gained through experience
-
reconnect with hope and direction
-
move toward new chapters with self-trust and courage
This is not about fixing yourself.
It is about discovering how much life is still within you.
For Young People
I am also developing creative resources for children and young people that encourage self-expression, emotional awareness, and inner confidence. These offerings focus on helping young people recognise their strengths, feel connected, and grow in kindness toward themselves and others.
A Gentle Note
The Heart of Us is no longer a therapy or counselling service.
It is a space for reflection, encouragement, and personal growth for those who feel ready to move toward a new chapter of life.
Because no matter your age or stage,

You are so much more than you imagine.
