Why Me? Why Chambers of Change?

Having spent years (both willingly, and at times unwillingly), on my own therapeutic journey, it feels ‘right’ to acknowledge that without experiencing early trauma, I wouldn’t be where I am now - I’m super grateful for surviving those turbulent years! 

I knew very early on that I had a strong passion for supporting others. Through volunteering with organisations like Climb Your Mountain, NSPCC, and Barnardos; and through employment in the charitable sector, care organisations, alternative provisions and organisations which compose the social service sector; I have had the privilege of working alongside vulnerable individuals, including young people involved in youth offending, children in care, adult prisoners, those facing social-emotional challenges, individuals with disabilities, and those navigating their life-path alongside trauma, SEN, ADHD, ASD, and PDA.

Recognising the gaps in accessible mental health support in Milton Keynes specifically, especially for teenagers and parents; And the lack of organisations with broader therapeutic focus, I established Chambers of Change to bridge the divide between therapy for the mind and therapy for the body. Rooted in the biopsychosocial model, my approach integrates counselling, psychology and biology; empowering clients to focus on emotional, physical, and social well-being. I believe therapy should be adaptable, welcoming, and free from rigid expectations—ensuring clients feel understood rather than judged.

Therapy with Chambers of Change

Many find traditional seated therapy beneficial, and I offer this approach. However, for others, sitting opposite a therapist can feel disconnected or overwhelming. That’s why I developed a more personalised, adaptable approach:

• Individual Counselling – Seated / Activity-Based: Offering integrative person-centred therapy tailored to individual needs, whether through seated counselling, walking therapy, creative therapy, or game-based sessions (football, dance, gaming, table tennis, and more). These activity-based approaches foster connection and trust, strengthening the therapeutic relationship.
• Massage Therapy: Providing a warm, supportive environment to release physical tension and emotional stress. I offer Swedish and Deep Tissue Massage as well as integrated sessions combining massage with counselling.
• Coaching: Utilising mindfulness based techniques to focus on present-moment awareness - reducing stress, increasing emotional regulation and self-awareness; Using techniques such as guided visualisation and positive affirmation - increasing relaxation, self-esteem, and confidence; and/or somatic techniques including stretching, tapping, & dance to strengthen mind-body awareness and release tension.

At Chambers of Change, my goal is simple: to provide a space where clients can connect, feel validated, and find support without being confined to traditional therapy formats. Whether through counselling, massage, or coaching,

I help individuals to embrace healing in a way that feels right for you!
