I work with women across every stage of adult life-not only the stages society has traditionally expected.
My clinical focus spans the full arc of women’s mental health: the identity, pressure and uncertainty of young adulthood; the emotional demands of pregnancy and the postnatal period; and the psychological impact of perimenopause and menopause. I also support women whose lives do not follow older templates, including those navigating singlehood, choosing not to marry or have children, later-life independence, and major life transitions.

I'm a psychotherapist specialising in migraine and chronic pain. Are you living with migraine and exhausted from pushing through? Constantly working, showing up, keeping going — all while feeling no one understands what it costs you? Do you feel guilty about cancelling plans, worry about the next attack and find it difficult to relax? You may feel like you've already tried everything and nothing makes a difference. Perhaps you also live with other pain conditions such as fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and back or neck pain.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or aware that something in your life seems off kilter, therapy can offer a space to pause, reflect, and begin to understand what’s really going on for you.
Many of the people I work with are experiencing anxiety, stress, burn-out, or a sense of feeling lost or lacking direction—even if things may appear “fine” on the surface.
I have a particular interest in working with people who want to live more authentically—developing self-awareness, finding meaning and direction, and addressing old wounds that may still be shaping how they feel, relate, and move through life.

I specialise in helping adults recover from narcissistic abuse, emotional manipulation, and the painful aftermath of toxic relationships. These experiences often leave you feeling disconnected from yourself, filled with self-doubt, shame, or anxiety—and unsure of who you are without the roles you were forced to play.
My approach is compassionate and grounded, drawing from trauma-informed care. Together, we’ll untangle gaslighting, rebuild your self-worth, and reconnect you with the voice and identity that may have been silenced.
I also support clients navigating low self-esteem, complex trauma, codependency, emotional flashbacks.
