Uncover my story

Hello, I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a compassionate, down-to-earth therapist who truly believes in the strength and resilience of the people I work with. Therapy isn’t about having all the answers, it’s about creating a space where you feel safe enough to explore, reflect, and grow.

I’ve spent many years supporting people living with low mood, anxiety, and trauma. I specialise in working with people struggling to navigate illness and the emotional impact of living with physical health conditions, persistent pain, cancer, and the uncertainty that can come with these experiences. I also work with maternal health, supporting women through fertility challenges, pregnancy, loss, and the transition to motherhood.

What drives me is a deep belief in the healing power of human connection and the sharing of knowledge.

If you’re curious about who I am and how I work, I’d love to share more of my story with you.

A supportive space just for you.

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply in need of someone to talk to, one-to-one therapy offers a chance to be heard. Together, we’ll work gently at your pace, exploring what matters to you and finding new ways forward. Join me in person at my base in Carlisle, Cumbria or online.

Thoughtfully designed sessions for teams.

I offer engaging, evidence-based training on the psychological impact of physical health conditions, persistent symptoms, psychological wellbeing, low mood, and anxiety. Each session is tailored to your team’s needs, equipping professionals with tools to better support the people they work with.

A gentle way to say hello.

Each week I offer a free, informal walk where you’re welcome to join me, and others, for a short stroll and a chat. There’s no pressure and no commitment, just a chance to get outside, connect, and see how it feels to talk.
