You are not feeling right. Maybe you are going through a difficult loss or a challenging life transition. Maybe you are back in a familiar painful place, repeating unhelpful patterns. You feel stuck, not knowing where to turn. Maybe your every day is a struggle. I offer a safe and confidential space, where you can be heard.
My approach is supportive and involved. Together, we will work to explore your concerns, deepest thoughts and behaviours. You need to commit to the process and, yes, it can be demanding. But, in time, you can use it develop new insights and understanding. You can learn more about yourself, your relationships and the difficulties you’re facing.
It may feel a daunting task trying to find a therapist that you feel will be the right one for you. When you first contact me, I offer a free conversation over the phone, for up to 15 minutes. This allows us to introduce ourselves and helps you decide whether you would like us to meet.

I work with clients who may be struggling with parenthood at all stages, including the perinatal period. Pregnancy and birth should be a joyful time, yet it can be a challenge for your mental health. I know the emotional changes and strain that come with motherhood and parenthood. I know the feelings of inadequacy and shame might prevent you from reaching out for help.

I trained to be a therapist with Joanna and was always struck by her intuition and exceptional ability to help clients understand what is going on "beneath the surface". She also has a deeply empathetic manner and brings real kindness and care to her work.
