About me
I am a clinical psychologist and Brain Working Recursive Therapy (BWRT) Advanced Practitioner who specialises in working with two groups of women.
The first: women who are outwardly capable and inwardly depleted — carrying more than their share for longer than they should have. Women navigating anxiety, trauma, burnout, ADHD, OCD, recovery from toxic or painful relationships or life changes, and the particular exhaustion of being the person everyone else leans on. If you are struggling on the inside while holding everything together on the outside, you are exactly who I work with.
The second: women living with chronic or life-limiting illness. I work with women from the moment of diagnosis, through the shock of a prognosis, the trauma of treatment, and the changes that follow: medically-induced menopause, shifts in body image and identity, the impact on relationships and family life, and the particular weight of trying to look after others when you are barely holding yourself together. Cancer, endometriosis, fibromyalgia, PCOS, multiple sclerosis and health anxiety are all areas I work with regularly.

I work with a small number of clients on a self-pay, package basis - no insurance panels. I work in a contained, package-based way and am happy to share this via email.
Further information
If you've found your way here, something in you already knows it's time to find support. You don't need the right words or to know exactly what's wrong. A quiet sense that something needs to shift is enough to begin. I work with a small number of clients at any one time, because this work deserves presence, not volume.
