I work with individuals to navigate challenges in their life that could include: low mood, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, prenatal and postnatal wellbeing, women's health, parenting and stress. My practice is non-judgmental, confidential and empathic; supporting you to create goals towards positive change that fits for you. With over 10 years experience as a mental health professional, I can provide a safe space for you to discuss your concerns, and help guide you towards improved wellbeing.

As a mental health therapist, I work holistically looking at a persons whole self, the system around them and the interface of these. I have worked in hospital, community and University settings supporting individuals with a broad spectrum of presentations and backgrounds.
My hope is to work alongside you, getting to know what matters to you. My approach is client led using an array of therapeutic skills. I will listen and explore with you to identify what will make a real difference to you to help you live your best life.
