From people-pleaser to straight-talking therapist.

Before therapy, I worked in nursing, teaching and disability support, always the helper, always putting everyone else first. For years I said yes when I meant no and tied my worth to how much I did for other people.

In 2019 it caught up with me. Burnout turned into a breakdown, and seeking therapy myself became the thing that changed everything. It taught me that real strength is knowing when you're struggling, and setting boundaries that protect you.

That's why I do this now. I became the therapist I needed back then, for women who are exhausted from holding it all together.

I work pluralistically, which simply means I don't force one method on you. I blend evidence-based approaches, including compassion-focused therapy and work with shame and self-criticism, and shape them around you. Warm, honest and jargon-free, with plenty of brew.

I'm a mum of two, so I know first-hand how much modern life asks of women. When I'm not with clients you'll find me making the most of the little things, and yes, usually with a brew in hand.
