Hi! I’m Ethel, an experienced Counsellor with over 15 years experience supporting clients through diverse challenges and experiences. I have successfully supported clients navigating challenges, such as: chronic illness, general life stress, neurodivergence, anxiety, coping with grief and loss, life transitions, trauma, relationship issues, betrayals, past abuse, depression, employment issues, study pressures, low motivation, low self esteem, low confidence & parenting. I am caring, strength based, down to earth, have a good sense of humour, creative and am passionate about supporting my clients on their spoony journeys to reach their goals and improve their quality of life. I am also a spoony, having had lived experience I can understand the challenges of navigating the ups and downs of chronic illness and the spicy flavours of neurodivergence. I understand personally that it takes great courage and determination to take the first step on the journey of Counselling and healing from life's challenges and I look forward to taking those steps with you on your journey.

Why the Spoony community matters to me

I know from both personal and professional experience the importance of having a community around us who understand and support us. This can be vital to give us the courage, strength and resources we need to keep going and thriving in amongst life’s ups and downs. We need to build more communities of spoonies and I’m so grateful Spoony app.
