About
You may look like you have it all together — leading, creating, caring for everyone else - yet inside feel anxious, stuck, or quietly overwhelmed.
Perhaps you’re carrying grief no one sees. Living with burnout. Navigating relationship strain. Questioning who you are now that something has changed.
I work with adults who carry a lot - professionals, creatives, high-profile individuals and those used to being the strong one - who need a space where they don’t have to perform, fix, or hold everything together.
Therapy doesn’t require a crisis. Often, it begins when something feels out of alignment and you can’t quite ignore it anymore.
If you’re unsure whether therapy is the right step, that’s completely normal - many people begin simply by having a conversation to see if it feels like the right fit.
My Approach
I’m an Integrative Psychotherapist (MBACP, NCPS Accredited) blending Person-Centred, Psychodynamic, CBT, and trauma-informed approaches, alongside tools from mindfulness and positive psychology.
In practice, this means we can explore what sits beneath the surface - early relational patterns, grief, shame, identity shifts - while also developing practical strategies to help you manage anxiety, rumination, low mood, and overwhelm.
My approach is relational, grounded, and collaborative. I won’t push you toward insight before you’re ready, and I won’t sit silently while you feel lost. We work at a pace that feels safe but purposeful.
Therapy with me is a real conversation - thoughtful, steady, and human - where insight and practical change can develop together.
Who I Work With
Many of the people I support are moving through change:
Relationship endings or uncertainty
Career shifts or creative pressure
Burnout from high-responsibility roles
Grief and bereavement
Reproductive and women’s health transitions, including fertility challenges, pregnancy loss, and menopause
Identity questions; “Who am I now?”
Some are leaders, creatives or high-profile individuals managing high expectations. Others are navigating anxiety, low mood, trauma, or long-standing self-doubt. Some simply want to feel more present and less driven by fear or pressure.
I also support women navigating fertility challenges, pregnancy or baby loss, rainbow pregnancies, and other reproductive or life-stage transitions. These experiences can bring complex layers of grief, identity change, and uncertainty, and therapy offers a space where they can be explored sensitively and without judgement.
Whatever brings you here, therapy offers space to slow down, understand your patterns, and build steadier self-trust.
Why I Do This Work
Before becoming a psychotherapist, I spent over two decades working in creative and corporate industries - from fashion to leadership. I saw firsthand how perfectionism, pressure, grief, and unspoken stress can quietly accumulate.
My own experience of burnout and loss later shaped my decision to retrain. Therapy helped me understand something essential: insight alone isn’t enough - we also need tools, support, and safe relationships to create change.
That understanding now informs how I work: clinically grounded, emotionally attuned, and practical.
Alongside private practice, I deliver workplace wellbeing and bereavement training across Merseyside and serve as a Trustee for Liverpool Bereavement Service, helping ensure support remains accessible to the wider community.
