How I Came Into This Work

My journey into this field began in nursing. After completing my qualification, I worked in general medical nursing before moving into Neonatal Intensive Care. A year later, I went on to train as a Midwife, working across antenatal, birth, postnatal, and Special Care Nursery settings. I spent 25 years in midwifery, eventually becoming a senior clinician in this incredible field.

But as the years went on, I noticed something missing: we were caring for women physically, but we often weren’t supporting their mental and emotional wellbeing in the way they needed—and deserved.

That realisation sent me back to university, where I completed my Counselling degree and transitioned into the mental health space where I worked as a Senior Mental Health Clinician at the Raphael Service - St John of God for 4 years,  before going into private practice.

I have spent the past 9 years focused on Perinatal Mental Health, as well as trauma-related work more broadly. I’ve completed extensive training in these areas to provide a deeper level of support to the women I work with.

At the heart of it all, I believe in individualised care. Your therapy is shaped in collaboration with you—whether you’re looking for short-term support or longer-term exploration. I integrate a range of approaches, so we can create something that truly fits you and your life.

Most importantly, I aim to create a space that feels calm, welcoming, and non-judgemental—a place where you feel safe to be yourself, to talk about what’s going on, and to reconnect with who you are.
