Welcome to my wellbeing support

 

I offer integrative wellbeing support grounded in care, experience, and respect for the whole person.

I am a yoga teacher, with a strong interest in the mind–body connection and the benefits of community.

I am a hypnotherapist, registered with the National Hypnotherapy Society (HYP21-00202).

I hold a Level 5 Professional Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling and am registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society.

I have also completed an ILM-recognised Wellbeing Coaching Programme (City & Guilds).

Alongside counselling and group work, I offer extended 1-to-1 wellbeing sessions for those seeking occasional, more spacious, personalised support.

My personal journey and other professional roles

 

Before qualifying in wellbeing practices, I worked as a dentist for 25 years. I was a Clinical Lead and Partner at The Health Centre Dental Practice in Bradford-on-Avon, working within the health centre until 2020, when I chose to step away from clinical dentistry to take a new professional path.

Alongside this, I have held a number of leadership and governance roles. I was a school governor for 11 years across two secondary schools, including time as Chair at St Augustine’s in Trowbridge and more recently as Co-Vice-Chair at St Gregory’s in Bath.

I have extensive experience in leadership and management within small to medium-sized organisations. In 2021, I gained a CMI qualification in Leadership and Management, and I also offer business consultancy to support wellbeing strategies in the workplace, with a particular interest in health and education settings, neurodiversity, and work-related stress and anxiety.

A personal note

For many years, I juggled family life, friendships, and significant professional responsibility. While these roles can be deeply rewarding, I understand how easily personal wellbeing can be sidelined, particularly during periods of difficulty or change.

My work is informed by both professional training and a deep respect for the emotional impact of stress, responsibility, and life change. I work with care, sensitivity, and a steady awareness of the demands many people carry in their daily lives.

I warmly welcome anyone seeking support with their mental health or emotional wellbeing.

Come and see how I can support you in caring for your wellbeing.
Welcome to PureSoul.
