About me

Are you a woman in your thirties to sixties? In my cosy sole private practice I have supported women through childhood and current trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, burnout, life adjustments (e.g. menopause, divorce), PTSD, Complex PTSD, work and relationship issues. I have extensive training and experience in trauma recovery. You do not have to live in survival mode and you do not have to walk alone. I am an empathetic psychologist with sixty years of life experience and extensive experience in women’s mental health and wellbeing. If you are ready to prioritise your needs, I will ensure therapy is a calm and safe experience.

To support your journey I integrate evidence-based therapy including Schema Therapy to understand the impact of your past on your present; Compassion Focused Therapy to relieve inner shame and self-criticism and to regulate your threat system; DBT for building effective skills; and EMDR and imagery to process stuck, triggering traumatic memories.

I welcome enquires from women hoping to make positive life changes. My hope is to help you develop a calmer, core sense of self and to gain the skills to sustain the changes you make. As a sole practitioner I choose to plan my day to offer unrushed time and presence. The first step of therapy is to reach out. I will be there to ensure you feel valued and supported.
