Where it began

Alongside my professional career, I've volunteered in schools, working with children with special educational needs (SEN) and neurotypical children. Across these experiences, I've developed a strong appreciation of individual differences and how our relationships, environments and circumstances shape our experiences.

One thing has stayed with me throughout my career: the people who spend so much time supporting others can be the ones with the least space to think about themselves.

It's this understanding that sits at the heart of The Human Compass.

A holistic approach to support

I work with parents, partners, carers and siblings navigating neurodiversity within their family. When so much time and energy goes into supporting a child, it can be easy to lose sight of your own needs.

You can love your child wholeheartedly and still find things difficult. You can be doing everything you can and still feel exhausted.

There should be space for your experiences, your needs and your wellbeing, too.

My approach looks beyond the immediate challenge to consider the bigger picture: your circumstances, relationships, strengths and what might help you move forward.

Psychology meets coaching

Psychology is at the heart of my coaching. I bring my understanding of human behaviour and individual differences together with a coaching approach that gives you time to reflect, recognise what matters most and explore practical ways forward.

Whether you're navigating competing demands, exploring boundaries, working through relationship challenges or reconnecting with yourself beyond your caring role, our work starts with you.

There is no formula to follow and no perfect version of parenting to achieve. The aim is to find a way forward that feels right for you and your family.

20 years of psychology.
Hundreds of clients.
One consistent truth.

The people giving the most were getting the least.

That's what The Human Compass is built on.

I created The Human Compass because I believe the people supporting others deserve support themselves. Not because they need fixing, but because they matter, too.

My aim is to help you find your own sense of direction, make space for your needs and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

If you're ready for support that's just for you, get in touch.

I'm really glad you're here. 🤍
