Counsellor and Professional Coach
Sometimes in our life, our journey has some uneven paths, the biggest mountains, and the lowest valleys. In these times if you choose to journey with me, you will be offered a non-judgemental and holistic safe space to talk freely, openly, and honestly. Within the person-centred model, you will be at the centre of your own personal journey.
Each session will be guided by you allowing unravelling of your thoughts and feelings with reflection. Leading hopefully to awareness, healing and change by hearing your own voice in a holistic and calm environment. I can also offer you solution-focused therapy for those times when you may need a little help to be able to focus on your issue when more guidance is needed.
Life is a journey of the unknown; we sometimes have periods in our lives when we find ourselves being taken to our knees, unable to navigate on our own path.
The Phoenix is a mystical and mysterious creature; from the ashes arises renewal and new life. At Phoenix Renewed, I believe we all can rise from the ashes revitalised and refreshed.
Over the course of my career in education as a therapeutic mentor, I have helped countless families cope with a range of emotional and psychological challenges, including loss, change, and difficulty. My expertise in resolution-based counselling has been particularly valuable to many families, helping them navigate through the complex emotions associated with numerous difficulties and concerns.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Tash
I’d like to introduce you to Tash, a truly remarkable individual who effortlessly balances a variety of roles in her life. As a loving wife and a dedicated mother of four wonderful children, Tash navigates the complexities of family life with grace and strength. Her home is also filled with the joy and energy of three adorable dogs, each adding their own unique spark to the family dynamic. Despite her busy schedule, Tash finds immense happiness in the simple moments spent with her family and pets, creating memories that are sure to last a lifetime. Her kind heart and unwavering determination make her an inspiration to everyone she meets.
Tash’s commitment extends beyond her family, as she has spent the past 20 years immersed in the field of education. Her extensive experience has honed her skills as a mediator and mentor, making her a true expert in her domain. She has been a guiding light for countless parents, helping them navigate the challenges of raising children in today’s world. Tash’s deep understanding of family dynamics and her passion for supporting others make her an invaluable asset to any community. Whether she’s working with children or parents, Tash’s focus is always on making a positive impact and enriching the lives of those around her.
In addition to her professional accomplishments, Tash is also an avid learner herself, constantly seeking new knowledge and perspectives to better understand the world and the people in it. She believes that education is not just about imparting knowledge, but also about fostering empathy, understanding, and a sense of community. Tash’s approach to her work is holistic, addressing not just the academic needs of children, but also their emotional and social development. She is a firm believer in the power of positive reinforcement and the importance of building strong, supportive relationships with both children and their parents.
Tash’s dedication to her family and her profession is evident in the way she approaches each day with enthusiasm and a can-do attitude. She is the kind of person who lights up a room with her presence, always ready with a kind word or a helping hand.

Beyond her roles as a wife, mother, dog owner, and educator, Tash is also an active community member. She volunteers her time to various causes, always looking for ways to give back and support those in need. Whether it’s supporting a local event, raising funds for charitable causes, or simply lending an ear to a neighbour in need, Tash is always there, embodying the spirit of compassion and service.
In summary, Tash is a multifaceted individual whose life is a beautiful blend of love, learning, and leadership. Her journey is a testament to the fact that with dedication, empathy, and a strong will, one can indeed make a significant impact on the world, one life at a time.
I am a practitioner of person-centred therapy. Person-centred counselling is one of the humanistic modalities or approaches. A person-centred therapist believes that, given the right conditions, a person can reach their full potential and become their true self, which he termed ‘self-actualisation’. This actualisation process is innate and accessible to everyone.
To help you move towards self-actualisation, I offer the following core conditions:
Accepting and valuing you, without judgement, exactly as you are in each session.
Honesty and transparency in how I experience you and your world — a grounded, real presence.
Seeing your viewpoint as closely as I can — as if I were walking beside you in it.
Based on my experience in education and work with families, it is clear that one of my strengths is my ability to come alongside families and help them work through difficulties to find a resolution. Through my years of experience, I have developed strong communication and interpersonal skills that allow me to build rapport with families and create a safe space for them to share their concerns. I may also have a talent for active listening, which enables me to understand the root causes of any issues and identify potential solutions that can work for everyone involved. Additionally, my extensive experience in education has given me a deep understanding of child development and family dynamics, which can be invaluable in helping families navigate challenging situations. Overall, I believe my strengths in this area make me a valuable resource for any family seeking support and guidance.
Many clients, with no prior knowledge of counselling, believe that the counsellor will sort their problems out for them. A person-centred counsellor will help you to explore your own issues, feelings, beliefs, behaviour, and worldview, so you can become more self-aware and achieve greater independence.
During our sessions, I will help you to realise what resources and support are available to you that you can use to work through your own issues, build your self-confidence and appreciate that you always have options. I will treat you as the expert on yourself, as no-one else knows exactly what it’s like to be you.
I will not judge you, no matter what you bring to the session. This helps build a trustworthy relationship in which you can feel free and supported to disclose whatever is troubling you. Eventually it will lead you to discover your own abilities and autonomy, so that you can cope with current and future problems.
Counselling/therapy can be useful for anyone who wants to explore the way they’re thinking or feeling further, as well as for anyone experiencing a problem or issue they are keen to resolve. People may choose to speak to a counsellor/therapist because they feel they cannot speak to their other half/friends/family about such personal issues, or they may simply wish to speak to a professional with an objective viewpoint.
Some of the issues we can work through within counselling/therapy include the following:
Wherever there is a physical addiction to a substance or activity – there is likely to be a psychological addiction too. Counselling/therapy aims to relieve psychological addiction by exploring the root cause while helping to develop new ways of thinking.
Losing a loved one is a difficult event in anyone’s life. The loss can bring up a wide range of emotions including guilt and anger. Some people benefit from speaking openly to a counsellor about their feelings to help ease the process and resolve any remaining issues they may have.
Being the victim of any form of abuse – verbal, emotional or physical – can lead to issues that may affect you all of your life. Counselling can offer victims the chance to seek help from authorities (if appropriate) as well as address the psychological repercussions in a safe environment.
Suffering from a long-term illness such as cancer or dementia can turn anyone’s world upside down. Counselling can help sufferers come to terms with their illness while offering emotional support and coping mechanisms.
Suffering from a mental health issue such as schizophrenia or depression can feel incredibly isolating. Counselling/therapy looks to discuss the feelings that arise in conjunction with these kinds of mental health issues, as well as overcome any personal challenges or frustrations.
As someone with extensive experience working with families, I understand the importance of strong relationships within a family unit. Parent-to-child relationships are perhaps the most fundamental, and it’s essential to cultivate trust, respect, and open communication. It’s also crucial to support each other and show empathy, especially during difficult times. Couples’ relationships are another vital aspect of family life, and it’s essential to prioritise quality time together and maintain a strong emotional connection. Good communication and effective conflict resolution strategies can help couples navigate challenges and strengthen their bond. Beyond these, there are other forms of family relationships that are equally important, such as relationships between siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. These relationships are often shaped by shared experiences, traditions, and values. Ultimately, the quality of our family relationships can profoundly impact our wellbeing and happiness, and it’s vital to invest time and effort into nurturing them.
Whether you’ve been involved in an accident or you have been the victim of abuse, the psychological impact of trauma can last years after the event itself. In a counselling session, trauma victims are encouraged to explore their feelings regarding the incident and look into how these could be resolved or changed.
Feelings of stress, anxiety and low self-esteem are becoming all too common in today’s society. Counselling/therapy can offer practical advice for overcoming these kinds of issues, as well as allowing you the space to vent your frustrations and feelings.

Tash has been incredible with me over the past few months; she is so genuine and present during sessions and she has all the time in the world for you. Her presence is literally like a warm hug! She has helped me find me, and given me so much perspective that I needed to see through my problems. I couldn’t be more grateful for her and I highly recommended her services!
P.S: her therapy room is so cosy and always warm and has tissues which is a big plus!

When I started my journey with Tash I was very nervous and unsure. After our first session I felt relaxed, and each week I was able to make baby steps moving forward. Tash is easy to talk to and I would recommend her to anyone. She genuinely cares and is invested in supporting you.
