New Clients Welcome! I believe passionately in being flexible, tailoring sessions, supporting personal development, growth, and insight with evidence based practices. My work is informed by mindfulness, attachment theory, schema therapy, family systems theory, and science. High achievers can appear to be fine on the outside but harbour problems on the inside that they know are impacting their personal lives. Therapy is a safe space to address subtle, chronic, and even complex mental health concerns. Many clients can recognise patterns in their mental health.

On paper, things might look fine.
But something feels off.
You might feel stuck, unsure what’s next, or like you’ve lost a sense of direction — even though you’re doing “all the right things.”
That’s usually where this work starts.
My approach sits somewhere between therapy and coaching.
We don’t just talk — we figure things out.
Together, we get clear on what actually matters to you, cut through what’s not working, and build a life that feels aligned.

I support women and parents before, during and after pregnancy who may feel overwhelmed, anxious, flat or depressed, or unlike themselves.
I offer a calm, supportive and non judgemental space to explore challenges such as prenatal and postnatal anxiety or depression, perinatal loss, birth trauma, fertility difficulties, relationship changes, and adjustment to parenthood. I work collaboratively to help clients make sense of their experiences and develop practical, compassionate ways of coping.

It's my job to make myself redundant with clients, to help them end their work with me equipped with insights & skills to better manage emotional challenges.
I use EMDR to treat trauma, mostly seeing survivors of childhood, military, family and sexual trauma. EMDR can also be helpful with workplace & social anxiety.
In addition, I counsel adults with symptoms of autism such as rigid thinking, communication challenges and excess emotional distress.
I offer a space where challenging thoughts can be explored safely - with courage, imagination & some humour, but no nonsense. If the client agrees with my assessment, we go from there.

I have a particular interest in attachment and impacts across the lifespan, perinatal psychology and the parent-infant relationship.
Employing relational and attachment-based therapies, I work with clients on understanding how their past relationships have shaped current ones and how they see themselves in the world. I incorporate a range of evidence-based interventions including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), CAT, CBT, ACT, Mindfulness and mentalization.
