I have a strong interest in women’s issues and understand how hard it can be to be your true self while juggling roles such as being a professional, mother, partner, friend, and daughter, especially when living away from home. I’ve been married, separated, divorced, a working mum, a stay-at-home mum, employed, unemployed and self employed, relocated, in transition, and often felt overwhelmed and confused. Through these experiences, I aim to bring a depth of understanding and empathy to my counselling work with you.

Having worked for 10 years with the United Nations in Africa and in the past decade as an online counsellor for UNHCR, UNAIDS, OCHA, UNOPS and UNDP, I have a keen interest in the emotional challenges faced by humanitarian workers and their families. I support staff at all career stages, from entry-level employees handling stress in new and challenging environments to mid-career professionals balancing family and work in difficult locations, and to those nearing retirement and planning their post-UN lives. I strive to offer valuable experience, empathy, and understanding to those in this unique career.
