Do you have any specialist interests?

One of my specialisms is trauma, and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a highly effective approach I use to help clients process and heal from difficult experiences. These experiences can leave a lasting imprint, affecting self-worth, trust, and day-to-day wellbeing. EMDR helps the brain reprocess distressing memories, so they no longer feel as raw, intrusive, or defining. What makes EMDR so powerful is that it doesn’t require clients to retell their story in detail, making it both respectful and deeply effective. It supports the nervous system to move out of survival mode, helping clients feel safer, calmer, and more in control. For many women, EMDR offers a way to finally let go of what’s holding them back and begin to live with more confidence and freedom.

Why are you passionate about women's health?

As a therapist, I’m deeply committed to supporting women’s mental health. Over the years, I’ve worked with many women who carry an enormous weight balancing work, relationships, caregiving, and societal expectations, often while struggling silently with anxiety, low self-worth, or perfectionism. I’ve seen how cultural pressures can lead women to put others first, ignore their own needs, and internalise unrealistic standards. Using Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT), I help clients identify the irrational beliefs that fuel these patterns and work toward more compassionate, empowering ways of thinking. I’m passionate about creating a space where women feel truly heard, without judgment, and supported in challenging the ‘shoulds’ and ‘musts’ that keep them stuck. Therapy isn’t about fixing people; it’s about helping them reconnect with who they are and what really matters. That’s why I do this work and why women’s mental health matters to me.

What one piece of advice would you give to our audience?

You don’t have to carry it all alone! Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in self-doubt, or weighed down by past experiences, support is available, and you are worth it. Therapy isn’t about being broken or needing to be fixed; it’s about creating space for yourself, understanding what’s really going on beneath the surface, and learning kinder, more empowering ways to respond to life. Taking that first step might feel daunting, but it can also be the start of something deeply healing.
