I am a Chartered Counselling Psychologist with over ten years of experience providing psychological therapies in the NHS. I specialise in maternal mental health and birth trauma, and I am passionate about supporting clients with their mental health and emotional wellbeing through their fertility journey, pregnancy, birth, and the postnatal period. I offer a warm, compassionate, and collaborative approach, supporting you to develop a clear understanding of your difficulties and to create meaningful change.
In addition to maternal mental health, I am skilled in supporting clients with a wide range of goals, including understanding their emotions, recognising unhelpful patterns, managing anxiety and OCD, processing trauma, improving relationships, increasing resilience and self-esteem, adjusting to life transitions, and deepening their understanding of self.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and it’s important to find a therapist whose style of working and personality are a good fit with your needs, as well as their skills and training. I am very happy to offer a free 15 minute telephone consultation prior to booking, to help ensure that we are a good fit. Please reach out via email to arrange a call.

In our work together, we will balance spending time understanding and exploring your past experiences with working in the 'here and now', learning skills and techniques. This will allow us to make sense of the history and context of your current difficulties, and then move from insight to action, helping you to take tangible steps towards the life you want to live.
