About Me

​​I am a fully insured counsellor and psychotherapist with an enhanced DBS check, and I hold Accredited membership status with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. I believe transparency and authenticity are essential to building strong relationships with clients, and in over 10 years of practice, I have learned that if I don't show my true self, how can I expect the same from others? 

 

​My life experiences and personal health battles fuel my passion for helping women manage the mental health impacts of chronic conditions such as endometriosis and PCOS, as well as perimenopause and menopause. I recognise the importance of being seen and heard while processing these often invisible battles, and having undergone four surgeries since 2023, I understand the challenges around diagnosis, medical gaslighting and dismissal, waiting times, normalisation of women's pain, and managing life with chronic conditions, along with the isolation felt from these struggles.

I've completed professional development in menopause awareness, along with level 3 diplomas in endometriosis awareness and female health coaching, to support my existing therapeutic skills and knowledge when working in this area.

I am also passionate about working with sexualised trauma, whether recent or historical, and the impacts that can occur throughout life from adverse childhood experiences. I regularly attend training on these topics to keep my knowledge up to date with the latest research, and I use the neuroscience and understanding of long-lasting effects of trauma, both "big T" (single life-threatening events) and "little t" (chronic or recurring experiences), to help my clients. I have extensive experience working with PTSD and CPTSD since 2014.

If you relate to any of the above and feel I may be the therapist to support you through your healing journey, I'd love to hear from you.
