Midlife is particularly significant for women, as it’s when most of us will experience peri/menopause and it’s often a period of change: in our bodies, emotions, and cognition, and also possibly when our roles shift. Whatever our individual situation, it’s inevitably a time of transition and challenge. Therapy is more than healing, reflection, developing coping strategies and resilience, deepening self awareness, and all that good stuff. It’s also about grieving and expressing rage, fear and resentment, analysing our failures and successes, thinking about our identities and reconnecting with our Self, which is often neglected.
I hold a dynamic, open-minded, compassionate space in which you can express it all: hope, fear, excitement, resentment, celebration, mourning, imagining. Through listening, reflection, challenge, suggestion, providing insight & different perspectives, I will facilitate your exploration of what a better life might mean for you and support you to initiate it.
I believe the key to navigating this life stage successfully is nurturing a strong, deep, healthy connection to our Self, and working on living Mindfully: being present, living proactively rather than reactively, and being intentional in our actions. My website and IG Mindful Midlife Therapy will be up soon, in the meantime please email me to connect :)

I use an integrative approach with an emphasis on psychodynamic therapy, which helps bring unconscious patterns into awareness. It explores how past experiences shape present emotions, thoughts and behaviours, and this helps break unhelpful cycles and develop healthier patterns. I also look at how you spend your time and energy, how mindful you are, and what self care looks like for you.
