About me

I’m a Clinical Psychologist, Meditation Teacher and EFT practitioner — I love helping people find clarity, balance, and strength during times of change. For more than 25 years I’ve supported individuals (Children, adolescents and adults) and families, and these days much of my work is with men and women going through life transitions, including mid life and menopause.

My therapy style is down-to-earth and practical. I draw on approaches like CBT (Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), CFT (Compassion Focused Therapy) and EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques - 'Tapping') to help you manage stress, low mood, anxiety or simply feeling “stuck.” I want you to feel not only better in the moment but also more equipped with skills you can use in future challenges.

Beyond therapy, I offer meditation (both one-to-one and group sessions), Forest Therapy (Shinrin-Yoku) experiences, Macrobiotic Life Coaching, and even support with decluttering and Feng Shui. I believe that our wellbeing is shaped by both our inner and outer environments, and small shifts can have a big impact.

I work with clients online and also offer in-person sessions from my practice in Ramsey, Cambridgeshire.

If you’d like to explore working together, you’re welcome to book a free 20-minute consultation with me—no obligation, just a chance to see if it feels like the right fit.
