About

​

In my 10 years of practice, I have worked with clients across the lifespan, from children, adolescents and adults. I have extensive experience in providing support for a range of mental health difficulties. These difficulties can include mood and anxiety disturbances; stress and trauma resulting from major life events; perinatal depression and anxiety; grief and loss; navigating relationship difficulties; and parenting challenges. 

​

In particular, I have a keen interest in working with parents in the perinatal period, supporting you through conception, pregnancy, and in the adjustment to life in your new role as parents. My passion for this field initially grew out of my therapeutic work with children in the out of home care sector who had been exposed to traumatic life experiences. This work highlighted the impact the parent-infant relationship can have on a child's emotional wellbeing, development and growth. After focusing my work on supporting new parents in the perinatal period, my belief has been strengthened that ensuring parents' wellbeing during this major life adjustment is vital to the wellness of the family system.

​

In 2019, I collaborated with Marissa Wallis and Amelia Lamont, two sleep consultants from Baby Sleep School, to author mindful parenting tips as part of their Sleep Guidelines. The guidelines aim to support parents in implementing gentle sleep routines and settling techniques along with providing psychological tips for new parents to manage their mental health during the parenting journey.

​

I am currently a member of the Antenatal and Postnatal Psychology Network. This network is a collaboration of psychologists who are specialised in the care and support for those who are experiencing difficulties during conception, pregnancy and in the postnatal period.
