ABOUT
Bringing steadiness to the mothers who hold everything together.
Practical, honest support for overwhelmed mums who are losing it more than they want to - and adults who are tired of being pulled around by patterns they can't seem to shift. Grounded in over a decade of clinical psychology. Built for real life, not the quiet version of it.
What I believe
You don't need more patience, more willpower, or another person telling you to just breathe. You need someone who understands what's actually going on and can give you tools that work in your real, messy life.
How I work
No shame. No jargon. No advice that assumes you've had eight hours of sleep and a quiet cup of tea. Everything I offer is built for people who are stretched thin and still showing up.
What I want for you
To stop replaying the hard moments on loop. To trust yourself to come back from the ones that don't go well. And to feel like yourself again - not just someone holding it all together.
This wasn't the plan
I qualified as a psychologist in 2015 and spent years working in secure hospitals and psychiatric units, sitting with people in their darkest, most overwhelming moments. I thought I understood emotional overwhelm inside and out.
Then I became a mum.
And I discovered something humbling: knowing the theory doesn't help when you're running on empty. I knew why I was losing it. I knew what was happening. I had every tool available to me. And I still couldn't access any of it when my child was screaming and I'd had four hours of sleep.
That gap between knowing and doing is where everything I offer now comes from.
Because if a psychologist with over a decade of experience can't just stay calm, then maybe the problem was never about trying harder. Maybe it was about understanding what's really driving it - and building the right tools around that.
My background, for those who want it.
I began studying psychology in 2006 and went on to complete my Masters and Doctorate in Forensic Psychology, qualifying in 2015. I've spent over a decade supporting people through some of the most emotionally intense corners of life - secure units, prisons, inpatient hospitals, community services. I currently work as a Clinical Lead in the NHS alongside my private practice.
I've always been drawn to the why.
Not just what someone is doing, but what's driving it, what's underneath it, what keeps the pattern going. That curiosity shapes everything I do - in the therapy room and in the support I build for mums.
