Hello and Welcome to my website.
Here you will find the different therapies I offer and how I work.
If you have any questions please get in touch.
Counselling
I am an experienced counsellor, working mainly online and telephone with some in person appointments in Chard. I offer a safe non-judgmental space. for you to talk through whatever you need. For more information on how I can help you then please press the link below.
Meditation
There has been a lot said about the benefits of meditation so I am not going to bore you here with it.
There is a lot of confusion about what it is and the different types.
As an advanced meditation teacher let me help you find the right mediation for you.
Having a regular meditation practice is easier than you think! It's not about sitting for hours with an empty mind. For more information on how I can help you then please press the link below
Breathwork
We often take our breath for granted, after all we do it naturally every day. What if focussing on your breath, making even small changes could lead to better overall wellbeing for you?
I offer breathwork sessions to help guide you to find your breathe, reduce anxiety and stress and generally feel better.
Reiki
Reiki offers a range of potential benefits to support your overall wellbeing. Many clients report feeling deeply relaxed and peaceful after a session, with reduced stress and tension. Reiki may also help to improve sleep quality, promote emotional balance, and enhance your natural healing processes. While it is not a replacement for medical treatment, it can be a valuable addition to your self-care routine, supporting both mental and physical health.
Want to know more?
For generations women have sat in circle all over the globe. Sharing a sense of community, a sense of belonging, sharing stories, being seen, being heard by each other.
In this time of chaos, it feels more important than ever that we return to this place. A place to let go of the should do and must do's of modern life. A place to come and be seen, be heard, or to rest and just BE.
In the coming months, I hold monthly circles to return to ourselves. No advice, no fixing of anyone or anything. A place to sit to be yourself with no expectations.
If this sounds like something you are looking for, contact me for more information.

About Me
I encourage clients to be honest and brave as I have had to be whilst being on my own path of discovery, which as I have found is continuous. I understand how life can be messy, difficult and a struggle at times, that is why I believe it's important for me to be honest about my own vulnerabilities. I would never ask a client to go to a place I haven't been to myself. I practice meditation, mindfulness, and yoga as I understand how important self-care is.
Through my personal journey, I have gained invaluable insights and tools that I am eager to share with my clients. My commitment to self-growth and healing mirrors the dedication I bring to my practice, fostering a compassionate and empathetic environment. Together, we can navigate the complexities of life and uncover pathways to resilience and inner strength.
Embark on this journey with me, where authenticity, empathy, and holistic healing converge to create lasting transformation.
My Values
I am open, honest, and encourage my clients to be honest with me. I welcome and try to be inclusive to all regardless of nationality, ethnicity, religion and gender. If you ask me something I don't know, I will be honest and say so, I will then go and find the answer. Its important to be honest with each other to enable us to build a trusting relationship, build solid foundations to allow growth and change to happen.

Testimonials
I have been on a journey of self-exploration with Avril who has been a ‘North Star’ in this experience. I sought a service which included a combination of counselling, coaching and education to provide me with the skills I needed to move forward in my life. I ‘clicked’ with Avril straight away. Avril started working with me whilst I was confused and deciding whether to leave my marriage and start the divorce process. Avril has been a key support through this process, when I had completely lost touch with myself, and didn’t really know who I was anymore, to someone that has now built the confidence to consciously evaluate my decisions and relationships in my life and take control with confidence and purpose. I am forever grateful for the help that Avril has provided every step of the way, whether I have laughed, or cried, Avril has been there through it all. - A

Testimonials
I could not recommend Avril enough. She is professional, knowledgeable and extremely easy to talk to. I first started with Avril over 2 years ago and I am a completely different person to who first walked through that door in comparison to now. She has given me the tools I needed to face my anxiety head on and I would not be where I am right now without her help and guidance. She challenged me, seen my potential before I seen it myself and worked through some hard times in my life. Before this, I could barely face the food shop, and now I am solo travelling and working in Australia! I am forever grateful for Avril and her guidance to get me where I am today. K
