Shell offers a calm, down-to-earth space where you can speak openly, without judgement, and begin making sense of what’s happening in your life.

Shell was drawn to this work through her own lived experience of mental health and addiction recovery. This allows her to understand, on a deeper level, the challenges that come with patterns of behaviour, coping, and relationships - not just from a professional perspective, but from real experience.

She works with adults navigating addiction and relationship challenges, offering a space where you can explore what’s happening without pressure or expectation. Clients often appreciate her ability to sit with them through difficult moments, helping them build awareness of their patterns of behaviour, understand what’s underneath them, and begin creating meaningful change.

Her approach is grounded and present-focused, with attention given to what’s happening for you right now - your thoughts, emotions, and patterns as they arise. She also offers eco-therapy sessions, incorporating outdoor and nature-based practices that support grounding, reflection, and present-moment awareness in a gentle and flexible way.

Through this, you can begin to understand your responses more clearly and develop new ways of approaching situations that previously felt overwhelming or automatic.
