Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Counselling in Twickenham
Hello there. When we meet, I'll be interested in listening to your story and more importantly what brings you to therapy. Perhaps you are looking for some sort of peace within yourself or with your situation. Maybe you don't feel right and haven't done for a while but don't feel able to change. Sometimes life can be difficult to cope with. Therapy gives you the opportunity to slow down and reflect upon where you are at. It is a good way to check out how you really feel and the source of your discomfort. If you are looking for change then I will empathically support you through that process.

Whilst I am experienced with, and enjoy continuing to work with, clients struggling with many issues, my area of particular interest is perinatal mental health and I run a free peer support group for new parents on Monday mornings.
Having trained at London's Tavistock and Portman and qualified at The Gestalt Centre, I combine my work with Post Natal Depression Charity, Cocoon Family support, youth counselling charity, Off The Record, and my own private practice. I work with a broad client base presenting with varied issues ranging from feeling sad to generalised anxiety disorder and panic disorder, relationship issues to seasonal affective disorder. I believe in the power of an empathetic, supportive therapeutic relationship.

I am a Chartered Counselling Psychologist specialising in women's mental health, with particular expertise in perinatal mental health, trauma and anxiety.
You might not always know what you need from therapy, only that things have become too difficult to deal with on your own. I draw from many different therapeutic models including CBT, Acceptance and Commitment therapy (ACT), Compassion-focused and Trauma-focused approaches like EMDR and I use them to create an individual therapy experience for you.

I specialise in anxiety, (including OCD), perinatal mental health, and trauma leading to attachment/relationship struggles.
I am trained to a doctoral level in many types of therapy. This means I can be flexible to make the therapy fit you, rather than make you fit the therapy. I currently split my time between perinatal mental health services and specialist OCD services. I work privately online and in London.

If you are feeling disconnected and undermined by anxiety or distress, you are wise to be considering therapy. There is solid evidence that psychological treatment can help people move on when their own efforts are not enough. Psychotherapy is confidential, safe, and caring. As a clinical psychologist, I have been trained to work collaboratively with my clients to develop a shared way of thinking about their problems and how they can move forward. My practice is integrative, eclectic and client focused: no one therapy suits every person or every issue.

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.
