As a psychotherapist, I have gained experience helping people from all over the world on issues related to anxiety, stress, low mood, low self esteem, relationships, attachment, parenting, pregnancy, anger and sleep problems.
Seeking help or therapy is not always an easy decision. Most of the times this decision implies undertaking a process of reflection and the awareness that something feels off - or is simply nor alright - and that pain or emotional discomfort are involved. Psychotherapy can be the answer as it represents a tool to better deal with the important moment in which we come to terms with who we are and we allow ourselves to change. It can help you nurturing your resources and overcoming the barriers that are blocking you from reaching what you would like.

I also volunteer for a pregnancy loss charity and offer a space to work through issues around miscarriage and abortion.
I am a BACP registered counsellor. Clients come to me for counselling because their lives are affected by anxiety, relationship problems, bereavement or other issues. We work together exploring feelings, thoughts and relationships. I provide a warm, confidential and non-judgemental space to reflect on your issues and experiences and can help you find a different way of seeing things. Once clients make contact, I arrange a call to find out a little more and set up a free, initial consultation. We use the first session to explore issues further and see how it feels. If the client is happy, we can work together towards their goal.

We can work with whatever you bring to therapy, in particular I work with anxiety, fertility, pregnancy, parenthood, womens health, abortion, depression, stress, bereavement, grief, illness, sense of self, ageing, suicide and trauma.
As a counsellor my role is to be alongside you in whatever has brought you to therapy, without judgement. In our sessions we will delve into your lived experience through description rather than explanation. Together, we explore the richness of how you have lived to date and how you would like to live. Ultimately I will be guided by you, and your needs.

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.
