About Therapy

Therapy is a structured, confidential space where we work together to understand what’s happening for you now and how it connects to your patterns, history, and current circumstances.

My work is integrative, drawing from person-centred, psychodynamic and CBT approaches, meaning we can explore emotional depth while also working with practical tools that support change.

You don’t need to be in crisis to begin. Many people start therapy during periods of change, uncertainty, or quiet dissatisfaction, when something feels off, even if they can’t fully name it yet.

What We Might Work On

In our sessions, we may explore:

  • Anxiety and overthinking

  • Low mood or emotional flatness

  • Burnout and exhaustion

  • Grief and loss

  • Relationship difficulties

  • Trauma and early relational experiences

  • Identity shifts and life transitions

  • Self-worth and self-doubt

We’ll look at both what’s happening emotionally and the thinking patterns or behaviours that may be maintaining the cycle.

I also have particular experience supporting women through reproductive and life-stage transitions, including:

  • Fertility challenges and infertility

  • Pregnancy loss, baby loss, and infant loss

  • Decisions around motherhood

  • Perinatal anxiety and postnatal identity changes

  • Perimenopause and menopause

  • The emotional impact of women’s health conditions

Whether working in Liverpool or online across the UK, I support women navigating how these transitions can affect mood, identity, confidence, relationships, and a sense of control over the body. They often intertwine grief, hormonal change, relational strain, and questions such as, “Who am I now?”

Therapy offers a steady, confidential space to process these experiences sensitively and at your pace — supporting both emotional understanding and practical coping tools.

What Sessions Look Like

Sessions are 60 minutes and tailored to you.

Some weeks may focus on processing something immediate. Other times we may:

  • Map out patterns using CBT-informed tools

  • Explore attachment or relational dynamics

  • Develop practical emotional regulation strategies

  • Work with rumination or self-critical thinking

  • Identify values and direction during life transitions

The work is collaborative and paced. There’s no pressure to “perform” insight, but there is a shared commitment to gently moving forward.

Short-Term or Longer-Term?

Some clients come for focused, short-term work around a specific issue. Others stay longer to explore deeper relational patterns or identity themes.

We review regularly to ensure therapy continues to feel useful and aligned with your goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Below are some of the most common questions people ask before starting therapy. If there’s something else you’d like to know, please feel free to get in touch I’ll be happy to help.

  • The first session is an opportunity to explore what’s brought you to therapy, what feels most pressing right now, and what you hope to gain from the work.

    We’ll also discuss how I work, answer any questions you have, and consider whether this feels like the right fit for you. There’s no pressure to share everything at once, we begin wherever you are.

  • I work with adults navigating anxiety, low mood, burnout, grief, trauma, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions.

    Many of my clients are professionals and creatives managing high levels of responsibility or pressure. I also support women experiencing fertility challenges, pregnancy or baby loss, perinatal anxiety, and perimenopause or menopause-related emotional changes.

  • Yes. I offer therapy for women navigating infertility, pregnancy loss, baby loss, perinatal anxiety, and perimenopause or menopause.

  • My approach is calm, collaborative, and grounded in real-world understanding. I’m warm but also gently challenging, helping you look beneath the surface and make meaningful, sustainable changes.

    Every therapeutic relationship is different. We begin with where you are now and build from there.

  • Most clients begin with weekly sessions. Some move to fortnightly as therapy progresses.
