Tell us a little bit about your business

TalkItOut Therapy is a counselling service available to all – focused around individuals sessions as well as couples therapy. With rooms based in Bournemouth and Wimborne, I’m able to work with clients who might be experiencing stress, anxiety, loss, relationship issues, family backgrounds, sexuality – offering a safe space to explore.

What are some of the most popular services that you provide?

Clients come with a full range of needs, one of the most popular is simply a safe space to process what’s going on for them and work through any resolved issues they might have been carrying for years and is now holding them or their relationships back.

Has there been a particular business highlight this year?

Yes, when clients (more than once!) have said “You’ve changed my life!”

What do you enjoy most about networking?

I enjoy catching up with familiar friends and acquaintances, seeing understanding their products and services – and everyday you’ll get to meet someone new. Many of the services we use in our personal lives / household are due to meeting a supplier networking!

What do you love about working in the geographical area that you work?

Everything is right on our doorstep! Trains, planes and automobiles! Although it can be challenging to get around the conurbation using the roads, but when you consider other places in the UK we really do have everything on our doorstep here in Bournemouth / Poole and Dorset.

When you’re not busy working, what do you like to do in your spare time?

Holidays! We try and go on 5 / 6 holidays a year, over the last few months we’ve been to Lanzarote for a month, I’ve been to Dubai and we’ve only just got back from Sicily. With a cruise, Spain and another trip to Dubai planned for later this year.

I also read a lot and study a bit to continue my learning and understanding of psychology.

I also cycle and have recently completed the London to Brighton bike ride (55 miles!)

What are your favourite places to visit locally?

I really enjoy Wimborne, and have a therapy room there that I use. So you’ll often find me wandering around Wimborne with my bike, having a coffee and getting ready to see clients in the town. Obviously we are lucky to have such a fantastic beach on our doorstep too, so I really enjoy the cycle from Sandbanks to Hengistbury Head and back.

Tell us any other interesting facts about you that you think people would like to know…

I’m a huge fan of the theatre and take every opportunity to go to a show!

I love cycling and getting out in the fresh air – and making use of all the cycle lanes we now have in Bournemouth and Poole.
