Tender Space

Gentle Support through Life’s Challenges

When the patterns of your life shift unexpectedly - whether through relationship endings, career changes, becoming a carer, loss of a loved one, or other profound life transitions - finding your way forward can feel overwhelming. I create a gentle space where you can pause, breathe, and begin to notice what might support you during this time.

This is about accompaniment: moving at your natural pace, discovering what brings even moments of stability or peace, and weaving these slowly into your days. Together, we make room for both the challenges you're facing and the subtle wisdom that can emerge when we listen with care.

Creating Tender Space Together

Gentle Listening & Presence

Supporting you through life's transitions with steady, grounded presence. I create a safe space where your experience can unfold naturally, where deep listening allows what needs to be expressed to emerge. Sometimes the quietest moments hold the most profound shifts. I stand beside you, offering both practical guidance and emotional steadiness, attuned to the natural rhythm of your journey.

Contemplative Practices & Resources

Contemplative practices offer gentle doorways to presence and peace, creating spaces where we can pause, breathe, and find our way back to ourselves. These practices become quiet anchors in uncertain times, helping us discover moments of clarity and connection even amidst challenge. Together, we explore which paths of reflection and expression naturally resonate with you, weaving them softly into your daily life.

Self-Care Companionship

Supporting you in cultivating sustainable self-care practices during times of profound challenge and change. I help you discover small, nurturing practices that can offer moments of respite and renewal, even in the midst of difficulty. Together, we create gentle routines that help you maintain inner steadiness while navigating intense experiences, supporting you in finding your own rhythm and pace during times of profound change.

Mindful Movement & Stillness 

Offering practices that help you find balance between action and rest, movement and stillness. These might include gentle yoga, walking meditations, breathing exercises, or moments of quiet reflection. Always moving at a pace that feels right for you, helping you discover what brings both comfort and strength to your journey. These practices become gentle ways to remain grounded when everything else feels uncertain.

Client Stories

  • When recovering from a painful relationship ending, my client was caught in patterns of harsh self-judgment she hadn't even noticed. Through our gentle work with language - exploring poetry and reflective writing - she began to witness her own inner dialogue. As she recognised these patterns, she gradually found ways to speak to herself with more tenderness and understanding.

  • After sudden redundancy, my client grappled with questions of identity and worth. In our sessions, we created space to explore what this profound change meant to her. Through careful attention to her thoughts and feelings, she discovered parts of herself that had been overshadowed by her career, slowly reconnecting with long-forgotten interests and aspirations.

  • My client felt blocked from moving forward in life by unresolved grief. We worked together to create practices that honoured their grief while gently making room for new possibilities. This patient attention allowed both their sorrow and their hopes to exist together.

  • Following his divorce, my client believed himself to be "completely uncreative". Through simple observational exercises and photography, he discovered joy in seeing the world differently. These moments of creative exploration became doorways to deeper self-connection, surprising him with new possibilities for expression and meaning.

  • As her grown children moved away, my client found herself facing deep questions of identity and purpose that had been waiting beneath years of mothering. Together, we created space to explore these feelings of loneliness and loss of direction. Through contemplative practices and honest reflection, she began to reconnect with long-forgotten parts of herself, gradually finding new sources of joy and meaning.
