I am an HCPC registered Occupational Therapist working psychotherapeutically, integrating EFT (tapping), EMDR and a whole-person, trauma-informed approach.
With over 40 years’ experience working clinically and managerially in the NHS, I support adults experiencing life’s challenges, including ill health, stress, burnout and trauma.
Together, we work at a pace that feels right for you, helping you to process difficult experiences, reconnect with your strengths, and move towards a life that feels more meaningful, balanced and authentically you.
I ustilise gentle therapeutic techniques to help you to understand old patterns and learn new strategies, helping you to move out of survival mode so that you can create the life you really want.
You might be feeling anxious, exhausted, overwhelmed, or close to burnout after years of putting others first. Perhaps you place unrealistic expectations on yourself or struggle to make decisions due to decades of people pleasing.
You are not wrong, failing or broken. You just need some time and support to heal.
If you''d like to explore working with me, using a therapeutic approach that builds on your unique strengths, to understand old patterns and make the changes anyway, you're already in the right place.

Discover your true self and build the life you want
We work together to heal trauma, understand any blocks that might be keeping you stuck whilst supporting you to create values-led change, meaning you learn how to make decisions, set boundaries or change direction without guilt, burnout or abandoning who you are at your core.
My approach is grounded in Occupational Therapy, (OT).
As humans we are "Occupational Beings."
This means we are naturally wired to do, to connect and to find meaning in our lives. Our wellbeing is deeply shaped by how we spend our time, the roles we hold and the experiences we carry.
When any one of these things is out of balance, we feel it.
I work with the whole person; exploring how thoughts, emotions, habits, roles and life experiences shape how we live in the here and now.
I use practical strategies that fit the individual that you are, using Coaching techniques and Psychotherapeutic models, underpinned by my professional background.
The plan: to reconnect with your true self, establish inner balance, and support meaningful, lasting change in how you feel and live.
Occupational Therapy as Therapy
BE YOU ~ BE FREE ~BE HAPPY
You might be.....
Feeling held back personally or professionally
Struggling to have the conversations you need to have, leaving you feeling stuck, unheard or overlooked.
Feeling anxious or emotional weighed down
Burnt out with little or nothing left over for the things that once bought you joy
You're ready to let go of past experiences or beliefs that are no longer serving you.
A little about me
I know this territory personally.
For many years, I appeared capable and confident on the outside while feeling burnt out, anxious, and driven by perfectionism and a need to please on the inside.
My own journey though a difficult childhood, alongside 40 years working in health and social care is what led me to this work.

✨ AND...You don’t have to fix everything at once.✨
We work gently, at a pace that feels right for you.
