Beyond the therapy room, I am someone who deeply values honesty, connection, curiosity, and creativity.

​

My dog keep me grounded and reminds me daily of the importance of presence and play. I’ve recently taken up paddle-boarding, finding peace in the rhythm of the water.

​

My background is varied while remaining deeply people focused. I worked within the NHS for many years, including in Accident & Emergency, supporting individuals in emotional crisis and mental health distress.

 

I was also a Special Guardian for 10 years, raising and supporting a child with developmental trauma and neurodivergence. This lived experience gives me unique insight into the isolation, overwhelm, and deep resilience of parents and caregivers navigating often hidden and misunderstood challenges.

​

Writing has also always been a quiet passion of mine and is a way to explore meaning, process experience, and express feelings.

​

I know and have experienced life’s challenges. I don’t sit outside of those struggles.

 

My own journey of navigating late diagnosis of Audhd , grief, parenting through trauma with trauma, and rediscovering my identity has shaped the way I work, with honesty, compassion, and a deep respect for the courage it takes to seek support and to be vulnerable.

​

You have always been enough.
