Unfortunately I'm having to begin my Easter Break earlier than planned due to illness.

I'm out of office until 8th April 2026.

I will have ad-hoc occasional access to messages while I am away if you need to amend or adjust your appointment.

I do not have any current New Client availability at this time.

Every Thursday Library in the community room from 11am -1pm 🙂 Tea, coffee, biscuits and a natter.

I'm so grateful to be as busy as I am, the downside is I have no availability for new clients.

On Sunday I dropped by Damhouse into Merly’s Kitchen CIC with my lovely friend for Coffee.

Of course, there were even more familiar faces popped in there while we enjoyed our coffees.

As always the welcome was warm, the service friendly and the coffee excellent!!

The decision to close the place left the community 'gutted'

You asked.. we listened 🫶

The girls club life CIC is coming to LEIGH! We have collaborated with Compassion in action Charity to provide a safe space and support session every week. A place that is rooted in mental health, wellbeing, and emotional support, giving women a place where they feel seen, heard, and understood.

Here, it’s okay to not be okay. It’s okay to have big feelings. It’s okay to need support. Through open conversations, and sisterhood, we help women build confidence, resilience, and healthy ways to cope with life’s ups and downs.

No pressure. No judgement. Just a space to belong, heal, and thrive.

Leigh, a new chapter of support, strength, and sisterhood is on the way 💖
Follow along for updates and launch details.
