About me

I am an accredited CBT Psychotherapist and qualified in EMDR, providing evidence-based therapy in a compassionate and supportive environment. I also bring lived experience of historic abuse, neurodiversity, infertility, IVF, and preterm birth, which informs my understanding when working with clients facing complex challenges. I have additional training in ADHD/ASD coaching and offer 30-minute monthly sessions to support individuals who have been diagnosed, helping them develop practical strategies and confidence. I am passionate about helping people who struggle with self-esteem, identity, and a sense of not belonging. I believe everyone has the right to feel good about themselves and to learn self-compassion, and I work collaboratively with clients to support growth, resilience, and self-understanding.
