Peer Support Counselling — Understanding, Compassion and Connection

Peer support counselling at Elowen offers compassionate, professional support grounded in both counselling skills and lived experience. It is designed for people navigating health challenges, caregiving roles and significant life transitions who value being met with genuine understanding.

Alongside my counselling training, I bring personal experience of motherhood, breast cancer, parenting children with complex medical needs, autism, food allergies, POTS, anxiety and early onset menopause. This lived experience informs my work while sessions remain focused on you — your story, your needs and your goals.

Peer support counselling may be helpful if you:

• Feel isolated or misunderstood in your experience

• Are navigating chronic illness, medical parenting, or caregiving fatigue

• Are managing anxiety alongside life stressors

• Are adjusting to identity or bodily changes related to health or parenting

This approach provides a safe, non-judgemental space to feel understood, reduce emotional burden, and build resilience. You don’t have to explain everything or carry it alone — support is available.
