Your Whole Story Matters Here. Break Free from Boxes that Don't Fit You.
Is this you?
🆘 Felt let down by past help?
You reached out for support before, but it left you feeling worse. Now you’re unsure about trying again.
🧳Carrying experiences people don’t understand?
When you try to share your story, people either dismiss it or try to fix you right away.
😭 Overwhelmed by strong feelings?
You look fine on the outside, but back in your room, you teared up.
🌈Want to be yourself?
You want to live authentically, but taking those steps feel scary.
👋Hey, I'm Roxanne!
I've been where you are – feeling unheard and misunderstood.
Now I help people share their whole story and find their way forward.

Why Work With Me? 😊
When it comes to your mental health and wellbeing, you’re not a textbook case needing a textbook solution.
Here’s what I offer:
👂Understanding: Transform from feeling judged to feeling truly heard
🌸Spaciousness: Move from quick-fix solutions to having room for your complete story to unfold naturally
🌱Empowerment: Shift from following expert advice to trusting your inner wisdom
This approach is built on three core principles:
💡 Pro-information: Put aside limiting labels with possibilities that serve you
🚗 Pro-choice: Step from others’ “shoulds” into your own authentic choices
🧘♀️ Pro-wisdom: Trust your inner knowing instead of textbook solutions
At 18, I sought help for sleep after seven sleepless nights. What followed dramatically changed my life: a misinterpreted answer during assessment led to unnecessary hospitalization and treatment, only to be later told “no mental illness.” This experience of being boxed into a diagnosis that didn’t fit shapes how I create a different kind of space today – one where your whole story matters, where you won’t be fitted into predetermined categories or paths.
The 4Ps: Breaking Free, Your Way
Your story is unlike any other, which is why our journey together has no rigid formula. We’ll explore these four interconnected areas (4Ps) at your own pace, focusing on what feels most meaningful to you.
Past:
Liberating from Old Stories 🕊️
Life leaves its marks — through painful experiences, relationships, or systems that should have supported us but didn’t. Together we’ll:
- Create a safe space to explore what happened
- Make sense of your experiences without labelling or pathologizing them
- Honour your story while finding your path forward
Present:
Freedom to Feel And Be 🌅
Life presents a steady stream of challenges – whether in relationships, work, or internal struggles. In this space, we’ll:
- Discover the wisdom in your emotions, even the toughest ones
- Identify practical, personalized ways to navigate life’s hurdles
- Cultivate a nurturing relationship with yourself, one that feels right and true
Pending:
Embracing Life’s Changes🍃
Life is full of transitions, whether we welcome it or not. Instead of resisting them, we’ll learn to:
- Navigate life’s transitions without losing touch with your true self
- Uncover the deeper meanings behind life’s shifts
- Build inner resources that empower you to face the unknown with clarity
Path:
Living Your Truth 🌟
True success isn’t about fitting a mold — it’s about discovering what’s true for you. We’ll:
- Question the boxes society has placed you in
- Reconnect with what truly matters to you
- Define your own version of success and well-being

What Might We Explore Together
I offer three paths to support your journey
🕊️Past
From Old Stories to Freedom
Remember that moment when someone said "just get over it" or "it wasn't that bad"? These experiences stick with us - not because we're broken, but because they matter. Together, we'll:
- Look at what happened in a space where you won’t be rushed or judged
- Understand your responses without turning them into ‘disorders’
- Honor how these experiences shaped you while creating your way forward
🌅 Present
From Struggle to Flow
You know that feeling - trying to work while your mind races, sitting in meetings with a knot in your stomach, smiling while your heart feels heavy. Here, we'll:
- See how your emotions make sense, even the ones that feel too big
- Discover how to be with all your feelings, not fight against them
- Find your way through difficult moments without forcing yourself to “be positive”
🌟 Path
From Others' Rules to Your Truth
You know that feeling - trying to work while your mind races, sitting in meetings with a knot in your stomach, smiling while your heart feels heavy. Here, we'll:
- Turn life’s uncertainties from overwhelming to navigable
- Find what matters to you beneath the “shoulds” and expectations
- Create your own authentic way forward, even when it differs from the conventional path
Our journey together isn't about fixing you - how can we fix what isn't broken? It's about understanding yourself more
deeply and finding your authentic way forward. Like any real journey, it has its messy
moments and its breakthroughs. All of it matters!
