I am an HCPC-registered Senior Clinical Psychologist with over 15 years' experience working within NHS psychological services. I specialise in supporting families, babies and young children, with over a decade of experience working in perinatal and parent-infant mental health.

Alongside my NHS role as a senior clinician within a Parent Infant Psychology Service, I offer private psychological therapy for families during pregnancy and the early years of parenting. I work with individuals, couples and families, and have particular expertise in supporting parents alongside their babies. I also provide supervision, consultation, and training to other health professionals and have extensive experience supporting Trauma-Informed Practice within CAMHS, early years, and community settings.

You might want to see me if:

Many parents I work with are finding the transition into parenthood more difficult than they expected. You may want support to explore difficult thoughts and feelings about yourself as a parent, your relationship with your baby or child, or the changes becoming a parent has brought to your sense of identity, relationships, work and wider family life.

Parenthood can also bring up complicated feelings about your own early experiences and relationships, and many parents want a safe space to think about how these experiences shape family life. You may be struggling with grief around your fertility journey; worries during pregnancy; birth trauma; feeding difficulties; or the emotional impact of sleep deprivation, overwhelm and changes in your body after having a baby.

I also work with parents navigating the emotional challenges of toddlerhood and early childhood, including the difficult feelings that toddler rages and developmental changes can sometimes bring up.

A central part of my work is helping parents strengthen confidence, connection and enjoyment within the early parent-infant relationship.

My style:

I will work collaboratively with you to determine the therapy style that best fits your needs, and I offer both short- and long-term therapy. I believe the relationship between therapist and parent is one of the most important parts of therapy, and I aim to create a space where you feel supported, safe and able to reflect openly without judgement.

You may decide to meet with me individually, as a couple, or alongside your baby. My therapeutic style is integrative and creative, drawing on a range of approaches, including Attachment Theory, Compassion Focused Therapy, CBT, Psychodynamic and Systemic models, and Trauma-Informed Practice.
