Before training as a therapist, I worked in education for 22 years as a primary school teacher and Assistant Head, with responsibility for Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH). This experience has given me a deep understanding of children and young people, and of the complex emotional and relational needs that can shape learning, relationships, and wellbeing across all stages of life.

Alongside this, I bring extensive experience of—and a strong appreciation for—the unique challenges faced by parents and senior leaders as they navigate the often competing needs of children, families, schools, and the wider education system.

Working in an holistic way, I recognise the deep connection between mind and body, and how our experiences can be held and expressed in different ways. Whatever we may be facing I believe we deserve to be met with compassion. Taking time to pause and reflect is not a luxury, but something we are all worthy of.

I also hold a firm belief that each of us is a unique individual, doing our best to navigate life as it unfolds. At times, this can feel overwhelming or uncertain.

I offer a warm, steady space where you can pause, step back, and reconnect with yourself. Together, we can gently explore what has brought you to therapy and find a way forward that feels more grounded, manageable, and sustainable.
