About this psychotherapist

I am a Registered Nurse and a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying). With over a decade of experience supporting children and families in hospital settings, I bring a grounded, compassionate, and clinically informed approach to mental health care. My belief is that healing happens when you feel safe enough to slow down, understand yourself, and reconnect with your inner strength. I integrate evidence-based approaches such as cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), emotion-focused work, and relational insight to support both practical coping and deeper emotional processing. I work with women who are navigating anxiety, perfectionism, OCD, burnout, relationship challenges, chronic illnesses, or life transitions—especially those who are used to being “the strong one” for everyone else. Together, we gently explore the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, while building skills to support emotional regulation, self-compassion, and clarity in your decisions. My style is warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental, offering both structure and flexibility so therapy feels supportive, not overwhelming. My goal is to help you feel a bit lighter, empowered, and connected to what matters most.
