About
“The process of living is like taking a very long road trip. The destination may be important, but the journey experienced day to day and week to week is what is invaluable.”
Steve C. Hayes
I have experience both in the NHS and private practice, supporting people with challenges such as low mood, depression, and anxiety. In my private practice, I often work with people who struggle with low self-esteem and self-doubt, and believe that clients already hold many of the answers within themselves, sometimes they just need the confidence and space to discover them. This might involve practical tools for coping in the present, or reflective work that brings new understanding of the past.
I support clients in learning practical skills to handle challenges with more ease while staying connected to the things that matter most. By clarifying your values and committing to small, meaningful actions, you can begin to build a life that feels more authentic, fulfilling, and resilient. Many clients find this approach both grounding and liberating, less about “fixing” themselves and more about gaining the freedom to live with greater self-trust, compassion, and purpose.
Alongside this work I also spend time working with new and expectant mums helping them navigate life as a parent, this might be anywhere in the journey of pregnancy, birth, postpartum and the early years of parenthood.
Approach
I draw on a range of approaches tailored to each person, but at the heart of her work is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). ACT is a modern, evidence-based therapy that starts from the belief that difficult thoughts and feelings don’t have to be obstacles to living well. Instead of getting stuck in battles with your mind, I help you step back, notice these experiences, and create space for them.
