I work exclusively with women, and I'm proud of that focus. It means I can go deeper into the particular pressures, expectations and life stages that shape women's experiences.

​

I hold an MSc in Psychology with Distinction, and I'm a registered trainee member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP), currently undertaking further clinical training (MSc) in Integrative Psychotherapy at the Metanoia Institute in London.

​

My path into psychotherapy has been shaped by a longstanding interest in the ways our experiences influence how we see ourselves, relate to others, and move through the world.

​

Before training as a psychotherapist, I spent many years working across health, wellbeing and charity-sector roles, supporting people through periods of change, uncertainty and challenge.

Alongside this, I worked as a postnatal doula and yoga teacher, experiences that deepened my interest in the emotional and identity shifts that can accompany major life transitions. These experiences continue to inform my work today.

​

I am particularly interested in how stress, trauma and significant life experiences can leave lasting impressions on the ways we think, feel and relate, often long after the original experience has passed, and in the particular ways these show up for women, including the emotional, relational and identity changes that can accompany becoming a parent. Alongside this, I have a strong interest in neurodiversity and the different ways people think, process and experience the world. I value working in a way that recognises and respects these differences, rather than viewing them through a deficit-based lens.

​

My professional experience includes supporting the delivery of psychologically informed interventions within an NHS chronic pain psychology service, alongside research and policy-focused work with Pregnant Then Screwed, exploring the broad impact of insufficient support for parents returning to work after having a baby.

​

Alongside private practice, I currently work with adults in low-cost community counselling services.

My work is supported by regular clinical supervision, and I practise in accordance with UKCP's professional and ethical guidelines.
