About me
I offer a warm, down to earth and collaborative space for you to explore life’s challenges with compassion and curiosity. I work from an integrative evidence based approach with a deep understanding of the mind-body connection and nervous system regulation, helping you understand how it shapes your everyday experiences and how you can feel calmer, more grounded and more connected to yourself.
Clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from their bodies, emotions, or life direction. Together, we create a collaborative therapeutic relationship that nurtures curiosity and moves at your own pace to explore thoughts, feelings, sensations and patterns in a way that feels safe and supportive.
I have a specialist interest in women’s health and wellbeing, supporting clients through a range of experiences that come from women’s health and long term conditions, including diagnosis, anxiety, confidence, hormonal shifts, emotional exhaustion and relational issues. Utilising a mind-body approach to support in both emotional and physiological regulation.
My goal isn’t just symptom relief, it’s to equip you with knowledge, tools and strategies that foster lasting inner transformation. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming and it takes so much courage to reach out for support.
If you’re thinking about starting therapy, I offer a free 20-minute intro call so you can ask questions and get a feel for whether this is the right fit for you.

Member organisations
