About me

​

The reason I became a therapist was simple: I never wanted anyone to feel as alone in their suffering as I once did. For many years, I carried unbearable pain in silence. I lived with depression, extremely low self esteem, symptoms of ADHD and dyspraxia, chronic shame and anxiety. I struggled with self-harm, food, drugs, and toxic relationships. I hated myself so deeply that I could find fault with every part of me. From my head to my toes and I truly believed I had no personality at all.

I tried to escape my feelings in every way I could, but nothing lasted. My inner critic was relentless, and shame followed me everywhere. Some of the therapy I experienced in those years felt useless, judgmental, rescuing, or disconnected. I was always deeply self-aware and introspective, I spent a lot of time learning how not to do therapy.

​

Significant change only began when I turned toward the one place I had always overlooked: my body. At first, I dismissed somatic work as “woo-woo,” but I came to see it as the missing piece of my healing. My body wasn’t lazy or broken; it was protecting me. Learning nervous system regulation and somatic approaches allowed me to finally shift patterns that endless talking never could. Along the way, I was fortunate to work with some wonderful therapists who showed me the true meaning of therapy: presence, safety, compassion and the importance of being congruent. You can read more about change here.

​

At the same time, I began the biggest spiritual journey of my life: motherhood. As a single parent to twins, I found myself both overwhelmed with responsibility and forced to confront wounds I hadn’t even realised were still with me. My children became mirrors, reflecting back the parts of myself still in need of healing. Parenting has stretched me in ways I never thought possible, and it continues to be a profound teacher.

​

All of this has shaped the professional I am today. I believe the best therapists & coaches are those who have sat with their own pain, not just studied it. I make a point of being open and vulnerable with my clients, not to blur boundaries, but to show that I am human too. I don’t hide behind a professional mask. I want you to feel that we’re in this together: two people, both deeply human, working side by side.

​

I hope what comes through is care, sincerity, and a sense of safety. My passion is to share what I’ve learned, not as someone who has “arrived,” but as someone still walking this path, deeply flawed, still healing, and fully present. Look for any questions you have here.

​

Alongside therapy, I offer coaching worldwide including the USA where therapeutic licensing differs. Coaching lets us work together through US-accessible modalities focused on growth, nervous system regulation, and self-esteem.
