I help with anxiety, overwhelm, stress, burnout, postpartum challenges, and life transitions.
Starting counselling can feel a bit like setting off on a road trip into unknown territory. Some parts of the journey will feel familiar, while others may feel completely new. It can be tiring, emotional, or frustrating at times, but it can also be deeply cathartic. With each step, you gain insight, clarity, and a sense of accomplishment. Think of me as your tour guide — here to provide gentle direction, support, and company when the road feels rough.

I offer a warm and human space where you can slow down, breathe, and reconnect — with yourself or your partner. From a humanistic-integrative approach, I help people who feel overwhelmed, disconnected or stuck to understand what’s happening inside and find new ways to relate, heal and feel alive again. Therapy with me is a space of kindness, curiosity and real connection — where change begins gently, from within.

My approach is collaborative, person-centred and integrates various tools to adapt to your needs. My systemic perspective recognises that challenges often arise within specific contexts and are shaped by relationships, environments, and interactions. By addressing not only the symptoms but also the underlying dynamics, I can help you foster resilience, gain deeper self understanding, and create meaningful change in your personal and relational systems. Psychoeducation is an integral part of my work, empowering clients with knowledge and strategies to navigate their experiences with confidence and clarity.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or facing something that feels difficult to manage alone. I provide therapeutic support to individuals and couples navigating a range of emotional and life experiences. You might find yourself coping on the outside, while feeling more overwhelmed underneath. I have a particular focus on supporting those navigating fertility and reproductive health challenges, where the emotional impact can often feel isolating and difficult to share. My approach is humanistic and integrative, offering a safe, non-judgemental space to explore and understand your experiences.

I have personal and professional experience in a variety of pregnancy related issues including birth trauma and matresence (the transition to motherhood), pre and post abortion support, fertility issues, adoption, post-natal depression and miscarriage.
I work from a humanistic, integrative, psychodynamic, CBT, person-centred, psychoeducational perspective. So what does that mean? Well no two people are the same so I use different approaches depending on each client and their personal needs. The foundation of my approach is person-centred talk therapy, where we talk face to face.

I am dedicated to supporting individuals on their unique healing journeys, especially those navigating trauma, women's issues, domestic abuse, childhood experiences, and perinatal health.
Are you feeling anxious or overwhelmed, as if you're stuck in a cycle of stress and burnout? You're not alone. Many of us experience these feelings without fully understanding their roots. Often, our past experiences shape our present behaviors in ways we may not even be aware of.
In our therapy sessions, I aim to provide you with a safe, welcoming, and non-judgmental space where you can freely explore your thoughts and emotions.
Together, we will uncover the underlying patterns that may be contributing to your anxiety, worry, shame, or stress.

I help mothers navigate postpartum anxiety, depression, birth trauma, and the profound identity shifts of motherhood.
From the outside, you look like you have it all together. Your house is in order, your career is moving, or you are managing the equally demanding role of a stay-at-home mom. You handle the schedules and the endless mental load. But inside, you feel depleted, anxious, or caught in an exhausting loop of overwhelm, overthinking, and internal pressure. Whether navigating the profound identity shift of matrescence, processing a difficult birth, or balancing parenting with burnout, please hear this: you are not failing—you are simply running on empty in a very difficult season of life.

Most of the people I see are dealing with something they haven't been able to sort out on their own. It might be anxiety that won't quite settle, the weight of things that happened a long time ago still showing up in everyday life, a relationship that keeps running into the same painful wall, or a sense that what used to get you through isn't working anymore. What they have in common is a wish to understand themselves better and to feel more settled, in themselves and with the people around them. I offer a space that is warm and unhurried, but also thoughtful and considered, where you can bring whatever you need to.

I offer a supportive, non judgemental space for whatever is holding you back from living life to the full. Expressing what is on your mind can be the first step towards feeling better. Therapy can involve finding ways to manage life's current challenges whilst also exploring patterns rooted in the past that can keep us stuck. You may need support to recover from loss or trauma, help with an issue, behaviour, or relationship that is causing distress. Perhaps you would simply like space for self-exploration and personal growth. Listening carefully to the unique needs of each individual, I tailor sessions accordingly.

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.
