Hi There,

I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE.

I started The Personal Growth Project at a time in my life when I felt very alone and wanted to create a space to express the realities of emotional and psychological abuse. I feel like so much is misunderstood, and these misunderstandings often hinder survivors in finding validation and healing, and help abusers avoid accountability.

I have experienced so much personal growth, and I still have periods where I beat myself up, cry a lot, and struggle with self-worth and self-doubt. But I have also learned it is through working with these feelings (not against them), that we heal and become more loving towards ourselves. 
Abuse teaches us to abandon ourselves. Part of our healing and personal growth is the journey back to our authentic self and placing ourselves at the centre of our own lives.
I am a writer and advocate dedicated to empowering survivors.
So much growth can come from being heard, understood and believed. I hope this space is somewhere, as a survivor, you feel seen and realise you are not alone, and your perspective and feelings are valid.
 The Personal Growth Project is dedicated to spreading awareness of the lived experiences of emotional and psychological abuse, so the trauma it causes may be better understood, and for survivors to find answers , clarity and peace of mind. ​
My passion is to use my voice and let you know you're not alone.
I know how it feels when you feel stuck or that your voice isn't being heard. That people listen but they don't really understand. I am passionate about using my voice and bringing about change in society to recognise the impact of emotional and psychological abuse. But I'm also passionate about helping you, as an individual, bring about change and continue to grow. You're not invisible to me: I see you.
Doing The Work To Heal And Grow.
I HAVE A BSc (HONS) PSYCHOLOGY DEGREE (BPS ACCREDITED) AND A LEVEL 3 COUNSELLING QUALIFICATION, AS WELL AS BEING A MUM OF FOUR.
I HAVE WORKED WITH VULNERABLE TEENAGERS AND ATTENDED CPD COURSES IN CHILD PROTECTION AND ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIPS.
I LAUNCHED THE PERSONAL GROWTH PROJECT IN 2017 AND DEDICATED MY TIME TO WRITING, ADVOCATING AND COACHING TO HELP EMPOWER SURVIVORS.
I'VE TAKEN MY OWN  EXPERIENCES AND THE KNOWLEDGE I'VE GAINED TO BUILD A COMMUNITY WHERE YOU CAN KNOW YOU ARE NOT ALONE AND TO SUPPORT YOUR GROWTH.
