You're a mum who’s overwhelmed, burnt out, and wondering where you went in all of this. You’re carrying the mental load, trying to do everything “right,” but still feel resentful, anxious, or low. You want to feel more like yourself again - calm, connected, and understood. Or maybe you’re a couple stuck in the same arguments - disconnected, resentful, unsure how to fix it. You both want to feel heard again, to stop fighting over chores, and to rebuild a sense of closeness and teamwork without blame.
I specialise in supporting mums and couples through the emotional weight of parenting. Using Internal Family Systems, Gottman Therapy, somatic therapy, and a trauma-informed lens, I offer grounded support for postnatal challenges, identity loss, relationship strain, and the mental load.
You don’t have to carry this alone. Our work together is gentle, collaborative, and tailored to what you need right now. This can be a space to breathe, feel seen, and start finding your way back to yourself. When you're ready, I'm here.

Therapy with me is collaborative, validating, and gently challenging. We slow things down so you can better understand your patterns - whether that's perfectionism, people-pleasing, conflict in your relationship, or postnatal overwhelm. I use approaches like Internal Family Systems and somatic therapy to help you feel more connected to yourself and the people you love.

In our initial sessions, we'll gently explore what's feeling heavy, what's been lost, and what patterns may be keeping you stuck. A typical treatment plan may involve IFS, somatic approaches, and practical strategies to help you regulate, reconnect, and move forward in a way that feels authentic and safe.
