About Me

The Therapist

I have over a decade of experience working in the helping profession. I started my career as a Social Worker supporting children and families, then made the move into child mental health, where I spent many years working in the NHS. During this time I retrained as a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and have supported adults, children and young people to improve their mental health.

Im a down to earth Yorkshire lass who values building genuine connections with my clients. I will be here to offer guidance and compassion, and help you to make sense of what might feel like a hopeless and confusing time.

She is embracing a tall, black dog with a sleek coat, possibly a Great Dane, outside in a backyard. The dog is standing on its hind legs, with front paws on the woman's shoulders, and they are touching noses. On the table in front of her, there is a plate with a slice of cake, a coffee mug, and a smartphone.

Dog Mum

When Im not being a therapist you can usually find me hanging out with my beautiful boys Lenny and Sidney. They bring so much joy (and mayhem) to my life and love nothing more than a good sprint followed by a snuggle on the sofa.

Hygge

(A Danish word for cosiness and contentment )

I love spending time doing things that give me a sense of inner peace and calm. I like the quiet. Cosy blankets and candle light. Dinner with close friends and deep conversation. cups of tea and sofa snugs. All this lovely stuff really nourishes my soul.

I’m human just like you.

I too make mistakes, I say the wrong thing and I fail at things.

We’re all fallible but for a long time I struggled to accept this about myself. I was so fearful of getting things wrong, I would end up setting myself unrealistic expectations (which as it turns out, is absolutely exhausting)

I now recognise my own limitations. I understand the need for self compassion and establishing healthy boundaries. I’m passionate about helping others to find their voice and become more compassionate and accepting of themselves.
