With a passion for understanding the intricacies of the human mind and behavior, I embarked on a journey in the field of psychology to make a positive impact on people's lives. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with diverse clients, ranging from adolescents to adults, and addressing an array of psychological concerns. My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from evidence-based practices such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques. My warm and non-judgmental demeanor creates a safe space where clients feel heard, valued, and respected.

I have over 30 years experience helping people and have been a consultant in charge of a major hospital Psychology Clinic. I have also worked in an Anxiety Disorder Clinic, and Family Therapy Clinic. This level of expertise allows for accurate diagnosis and personalised treatment. I employ practical, tested methods. When you are under stress it is easy to fall into the trap of thinking that you are powerless, and that this is just the way things are. You will start to believe, “I’m not as capable as I once was"

The Empty Cradle supports involuntary childless women to grieve the loss of motherhood and create lives of connection, meaning and joy. As lived experience counsellors we understand childlessness can leave women feeling broken hearted and excluded from the world of children, mothers and families. We can experience profound grief, shame, diminished self worth, struggle for meaning and purpose, and impact on interpersonal relationships. There can be regrets, bereavement, losses and ongoing trauma. We support women to develop esteem, confidence and competence to navigate this difficult terrain and gently create a new vision for life.
