I specialise in bereavement and loss (including pregnancy loss, stillbirth, neonatal or infant death), parenthood and family dynamics, uprooting and relocation, and life transitions.
While I believe we each hold an inner wisdom that guides our lives, many may lose touch with it after spending so long trying to fit into others’ expectations.
Here, we create space to set those expectations aside - a space just for you, so you can begin to untangle, unmask, and gently reconnect with the parts of you that long to live in their true colours.

I volunteer at my local perinatal support charity and I have also set up a local postnatal support group.
Becoming a parent can feel very different from what you expected.
You might feel constantly on edge, checking your child’s breathing, imagining worst-case scenarios, or stuck with thoughts that scare you. You might feel overwhelmed by the constant decision-making. You may find yourself snappy, exhausted, overstimulated, or struggling with a birth that still feels upsetting to think about.
Sometimes becoming a parent doesn’t just change your present, it brings your past with it. Old childhood experiences can resurface in ways you weren’t expecting, feeling more intense now that you’re responsible for someone else.

Hello, I am a Clinical Psychologist, CAT Therapist and EMDR Therapist. I specialise in working with adults who are motivated to improve their emotional wellbeing and relationships. We all go through times in life when things feel unmanageable. We may feel overwhelmed, always on edge, struggling with self-doubt, confidence or difficult ways of coping. Relationships can at times seem fulfilling, but also bring pain, confusion, and loneliness. You may have a sense that these difficulties could be related to (past or recent) traumatic or upsetting experiences, or feel motivated to figure out and overcome what keeps you feeling stuck.

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.
