About me

I am a warm, approachable, and highly experienced psychotherapist with over 26 years of supporting people through life’s most challenging moments.

My background includes a Postgraduate Diploma in CBT, EMDR training, a BSc in Mental Health Nursing, and certification as a Life Coach.

This combination of expertise allows me to offer a flexible, personalised approach to therapy—one that meets you where you are and helps you move forward with confidence. I work with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, health anxiety, perfectionism, grief, stress and psychosis.

I also have a special interest in perinatal mental health, offering support to parents and parents-to-be during pregnancy, after birth, and throughout the early parenting years. Therapy with me is collaborative and tailored to you.

I draw on evidence-based approaches such as CBT, EMDR, Trauma-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, and EFT, selecting the right tools to match your unique needs and goals.

My aim is to provide a safe, non-judgemental space where you feel heard, understood, and supported as you explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I believe change is always possible.

Whether you’re facing a specific difficulty or simply want to feel more balanced and at peace, I’m here to help you navigate the path ahead, develop coping strategies, and build resilience for the future. Outside of my professional work, I enjoy park runs, swimming, cooking, and hosting friends and family—activities that keep me grounded and energised. If you’re ready to take the first step towards resetting your emotional life, healing and growth, I’d be honoured to work alongside you
