About me
I am a Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and British Psychological Society (BPS) registered Counselling Psychologist. I have been working with clients therapeutically since 2016 in the NHS and in private practice.
In my private practice, I specialise in supporting women experiencing emotional and psychological distress. I help women facing challenges including fertility issues, perinatal and postnatal anxiety, postnatal depression, trauma, menopause difficulties, burnout, ageing, and women's health issues. I also offer ADHD assessments and support with the psychological impact of ADHD, having completed training with the UK Adult ADHD Network (UKAAN).
I offer a safe, non-judgmental space for women to give voice to their experiences and better understand themselves. I work with my clients to develop a shared understanding of their difficulties and then draw on a wide range of evidence-based therapies, including EMDR and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to meet their particular needs.
I am passionate about providing effective, evidence-based psychological therapy for women of all ages. Please do get in touch if you want to find out more about how I might be able to help.

I have completed UK Adult ADHD Network (UKAAN) training in ADHD assessment and psychological interventions for ADHD. I am also trained in psychological interventions for eating disorders, including CBT-E, MANTRA, and CRT.
