My website
As a Clinical Psychologist, I offer compassionate, evidence‑based support for adults and young people navigating emotional challenges across all life transitions, also inclusive of fertility, pregnancy, birth and early parenthood. I work collaboratively to help you make sense of your experiences, reduce distress, and reconnect with your sense of self. My approach is warm, non‑judgmental and tailored to your needs, supporting resilience and wellbeing.
I offer tailored, trauma-focused therapy including EMDR, to support recovery from difficult experiences—whether related to birth, parenting, or other forms of trauma. I also work with anxiety, depression, OCD, bonding issues, and other emotional challenges, providing compassionate, evidence-based support.
Deciding to begin therapy is a courageous step, and I aim to make this process as smooth as possible for you. My goal is to create a safe space where your feelings are validated, and you truly feel heard and understood. Together, we can navigate this journey with compassion and support.
