Having worked in occupational health, physical health & maternity / perinatal settings within the NHS as a Clinical Psychologist for over 10 years, I offer specialist therapy for individuals who may find this time difficult or isolating. I use an integrative approach to therapy, drawing on different models to best help each individual with their unique situation.


Being emotionally knocked by a health condition, pregnancy, parenting or work stress is entirely normal, but can feel highly isolating and distressing. I work with clients undergoing physical health investigations, people experiencing a range of difficulties around the perinatal period and clients experiencing work-related stressors, to help them navigate their own way through these tough times. This includes, for example:

  • support in managing uncertainty whilst undergoing health investigations
  • support to feel confident about a forthcoming birth
  • building confidence as a new parent
  • guidance through difficulties at work
  • trauma processing


If you would like to talk to me about your own situation, I would be happy to meet with you to determine whether I am the most appropriate therapist for you. Please feel free to contact me to arrange an initial 15-minute complimentary consultation.
