Integrative Psychotherapist (MNCPS Acc.)

About me

Be yourself, feel heard and find clarity in a space where your feelings matter. I believe each person has the capacity for growth & development. Together, we can move towards meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you. If you’re unsure, we can start with a brief chat. 

Drawing on over 30 yrs in healthcare; as a nurse, midwife, psychotherapist & commercial leader has placed me alongside people at some of the most profound and pivotal moments in their lives. My experience has given me a deep appreciation for the complexities of people’s lives and how profoundly life’s challenges can shape our wellbeing & sense of self.
