About me and my therapy practice

I have a degree in psychology, a diploma in person centred counselling and am a midwifery lecturer with a degree in Midwifery (currently completing a MSc in Midwifery)

I am also trained in other therapeutic approaches including CBT, Rewind therapy for birth trauma, hypnobirthing, relationship/couples therapy, play therapy, mindfulness and group therapy.

I offer individualised counselling, trauma therapy, specialised antenatal & postnatal education, mindfulness, couples therapy and grief therapy (specialising in baby & pregnancy loss and compassionate termination). I am a qualified, experienced counsellor and registered midwife.

I aim to help individuals , couples & families to heal through creating an active listening, neutral, non-judgemental space where clients feel held and heard.

I offer an individualised therapeutic approach based on 25 years of experience and training.

As a qualified, experienced midwife I aim to offer hypnobirthing classes to support you on the journey to parenthood. This education will be tailored to meet your individual needs. I also offer individual and group hypnobirthing both online and in person; please check out my website for more details.

Practice description

Depression & Anxiety

Depression, fear, and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we can experience at some point in our lives. Through counselling and support you can start to understand who you are and address some of the causes.

Trauma & PTSD

Many individuals can experience symptoms associated with painful and traumatic circumstances. Anxiety, fear, and hopelessness are a few emotions that can linger post traumatic events. I can help you overcome these symptoms and guide you through the process of grief and healing. As a midwife I am specialised in offering trauma therapy following a traumatic pregnancy or birth experience

Grief

As a midwife I have been with families during both joyous & devastating life changing experiences. Being a midwife is about grief as well as joy. I can offer experienced bereavement support to individuals, couples and families who are processing the devastating loss of a baby.

Eating Disorders

As a counsellor i have supported many individuals who are experiencing or recovering from eating disorders. As a midwife I aim to raise awareness of the prevalence and treatment of eating disorders during the pregnancy continuum

Online Services

Counselling can be beneficial to individuals and couples who are looking to strengthen their emotional connection, in all stages of their relationship. Online sessions are held from the safety of your own home with you at a time that is convenient for you through Zoom.
