How I work

Gentle, Personalised Support for You.

Dementia changes everything - how you relate to your loved one, how your family dynamics shift, and how you feel about yourself. It’s a lot, and you don’t have to figure it out alone.

I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Every family’s situation is different, which is why the support I offer is tailored to you. Whether you need practical advice, emotional support, or just a space to breathe and be heard, we’ll shape this together.

What Working Together Looks Like

• A conversation First - We start with a gentle, no pressure chat to see where you are, what’s feeling hard right now, and whether I’m the right person to help.

• Support that Fits You - Some families need one-off guidance for a specific issue. Others want ongoing support as things change.
  
  I offer:
  
  Help with behaviours of distress and practical strategies to make life easier.
  
  A space to talk about the emotional impact of caregiving - without guilt or judgement.
  
  Guidance for making care decisions that feel right for your family.
  
  No Set Rules - Just What You Need
  Dementia isn’t predictable, so our work together doesn’t have to be rigid. Whether you need one session or a few, we’ll find what works best for you.

My Training and Experience

I have over 25 years of experience in mental health nursing, coaching and dementia care. In 2010 I co-founded Memory Matters, an award winning social enterprise supporting individuals and families affected by dementia.

After years of leading and growing the organisation, I stepped away to focus on coaching and well-being, developing my own approach to sustainable mental health. But dementia care has always been where my heart is.

Now, I bring my experience back to where it matters most - helping families navigate dementia with practical guidance, emotional support, and strategies to manage the journey ahead.

My Mission

Dementia changes everything - for the person diagnosed and for those who love them. it can feel overwhelming, emotional and isolating. My mission is to make the journey easier.

I provide personalised guidance, practical strategies, and emotional support to help families manage behaviours of distress, make confident care decisions, and look after their own well-being along the way.
