Many people come to me feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or tired from masking, people‑pleasing, or holding everything together alone. Others describe the quiet exhaustion of being deeply feeling or highly sensitive. I bring both professional training and lived experience, offering a gentle, grounded space where you don’t have to minimise or hide parts of yourself. I support anxiety, low self‑esteem, masking, trauma, neurodivergence and feeling stuck. If things feel difficult, you’re welcome to get in touch.

Life is tough. We all experience loss and difficulties along the way but sometimes those things can feel unmanageable or overwhelming. Maybe the situation is just too big, or maybe it's an accumulation of things that have built up over time that mean you feel you need some therapeutic support. As an Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist, trained in Person-Centred, CBT and Attachment Theory with a particular specialism in working with traumatic loss and bereavement I can provide an empathic space for you to work through your current issues and to explore how your past may be informing your responses in the here and now.

You’ve always been the capable one. High functioning, self aware, often the one others turn to for advice. But lately everything feels heavy. You’re burnt out, emotionally overloaded, and wondering who you are underneath all the coping. I work with women who look like they’re managing on the outside but feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck on the inside. This often shows up in motherhood, after difficult experiences like birth trauma, or during big life transitions. You might be tired of overthinking, holding everything together, and feeling like you’ve lost a sense of yourself.

I work with women who are finding pregnancy or new motherhood harder than they expected - not in the “normal hard” way people talk about, but in a way that feels isolating and stuck.
I use CBT and EMDR to gently work through what happened and what’s keeping you stuck. We’ll calm anxious thoughts, process difficult experiences, and build practical tools you can use when panic or dread hits. Over time, you can move from survival mode to feeling safer in your body and more present in pregnancy and motherhood.

My professional and personal lived experience encompasses a range of issues, with particular focus on: anxiety; depression; grief; chronic illness; parenting/ perinatal issues; relationship/family challenges; neurodivergence; school avoidance; low self esteem; and anger.
I trained integratively though primarily work from a person-centred perspective. This means I believe you are the expert on your own life and needs. However, I know from personal experience that this internal voice can sometimes feel lost or silenced.

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.
