If you're feeling anxious or overwhelmed, struggling with a difficult life event, your relationships or sense of self, I offer a warm and supportive space for you to better understand yourself. I often work with women who feel they've lost themselves beneath the roles they fulfil; are navigating motherhood, relationship changes, career changes or menopause; are emotionally exhausted; want to understand why they think, feel and respond the way they do; and are curious about how childhood relationships continue to shape their adult selves.

I am an ex-Hospice and Pregnancy loss Nurse, experienced in holding space for profound life transitions.
Grief doesn't always look like sadness. It can show up as anxiety, anger, shame, or a sense that you've lost your way. Whether you're grieving the death of someone you love, the end of a relationship, changes in your health, your identity, or the future you imagined, grief can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself. Perhaps you've spent years trying to be who others expected you to be, carrying the weight of expectations and comparison, only to realise it no longer fits. I offer a warm, compassionate space to make sense of loss, explore what matters now, rediscover who you are, and find a way forward.

We can all benefit from creating spaces of reflection and connection in our lives. Psychotherapy can be useful not only in helping people in severe psychological distress, but also in facilitating self-discovery, insight and growth, particularly during times of difficulty, change and transition. Greater curiosity about one’s self and increased self-awareness can help to bring recognition to, and shift, unhelpful patterns of behaviour. This insight can also increase the capacity to cope with challenging situations; contribute to building more meaningful relationships; & create space for a rich, meaningful and balanced life.

There are times when things can feel difficult to make sense of on your own. You may be struggling with anxiety, relationships, loss or self-worth, feeling stuck or overwhelmed, or simply have a sense that something in your life isn’t quite right. You may recognise patterns that keep repeating but find them difficult to change, or want to understand yourself and your relationships more deeply. Therapy offers a space for us to think together about what is happening for you, where some of these feelings or patterns may come from, and what might begin to feel different.

Are you feeling Overwhelmed? Anxious? Low mood? Stressed? Feeling like this can be debilitating and can lead to a feeling of stuckness. It can affect your behaviours, your sleep and your overall health and well-being. This can often lead to being stuck in the same patterns of behaviour and this can feel exhausting.
You may have experienced trauma which has left you feeling dysregulated and unsafe. You may be feeling hyper-vigilant and tense, or the opposite, and feeling very low and numb to life. You may be unable to function and live life in the way you want to. This can be really distressing and can make you feel alone.

I can work with you short term or for an extended period, depending on your needs. Deeply rooted emotional issues tend to require longer periods of therapy.

Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Counsellors
What are the most effective ways to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns?
The most effective way to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns is by finding a therapist who has prior experience helping other patients overcome the challenge being faced. For example, a marriage and family therapist may have experience helping couples adjust to their new relationship dynamic. An anxiety specialist may have experience helping with phobias or illness anxiety related to the child’s health. A depression specialist may have experience treating postpartum depression.
When should I seek treatment for prenatal or postpartum concerns?
Pregnancy and the postpartum period involve intense physical and mental changes; a degree of upset and instability is normal. However, if these changes impair daily functioning, it may be time to seek help. This distinction is pertinent for postpartum depression: A period of teariness, irritability, and distress is difficult but normal in the one to two weeks after childbirth (sometimes called the “baby blues.”) But if feelings of sadness and hopelessness persist beyond that period, the person should seek treatment.
How do I manage worries during pregnancy or the postnatal period?
A therapist can help patients develop the tools they need to manage anxieties during or after pregnancy. Cognitive behavioural therapy can help people identify and reframe harmful patterns of thought, and change their behaviours. Other techniques and skills can allow people to develop acceptance, psychological flexibility, self-compassion, communication skills, and more.
