I have always been sensitive, curious and compassionate, a natural observer and drawn to questions, solutions and growth. I am aware of the unique life challenges faced by women and mothers and offer a grounded and holistic approach to therapy for this group. My work is ultimately aimed at empowering women to get to know and care for themselves (and therefore their families and communities) better and to access their inner resources in order to live mindful, vibrant and meaningful lives. My work is grounded in the values of connection, compassion, and curiosity and is informed by the latest evidence based practices for mental health and wellness.

I hold a First Class Honours Degree in Social Sciences (Psychology) and a Masters Degree in Clinical Psychology. I have over 15 years of clinical experience, working extensively with women, as well as at times children, who had experienced gender based violence (sexual, domestic and family violence) at specialist support services as well as more recently supporting women and mothers in private practice.

The influences on my therapeutic work are varied, including my professional training and experience, an ever-growing knowledge and skill base in psychological therapies (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Compassion Focussed Therapy), mindfulness, neuroscience and somatic therapies, perinatal mental health, motherhood and parenting as well as my personal journey of womanhood, motherhood, healing and growth. I believe personally and professionally in the value of self-enquiry and self-care and work to create a space where these skills can be developed and strengthened. Sessions with me are tailored to the individual while being anchored in Acceptance & Commitment Therapy and Compassion Focussed Therapy principles; they are warm, full of questions, collaborative, relaxed and conversational while also targeted, growth and flexibility oriented.

I believe in and provide exceptional care and support, as well as an intentional reverence around the therapy and therapeutic relationship. It is an absolute privilege to bear witness and hold space for women. You will feel thought of, cared for, cheered on and have space held for all parts of you. I will be a pillar of support, there to both guide and walk alongside you.
