About Me
Who am I?
I’m a psychotherapist / counsellor in Wishaw and Motherwell. I offer support to women in person and across the UK through online sessions. My work is shaped by both professional experience and personal insight. I know firsthand the emotional reality of infertility, pregnancy, and the challenges of early motherhood.
​
After my own journey through infertility and postpartum depression, I learned that self-compassion and honest support are not luxuries, they’re essential. That understanding shapes how I work with every woman who sits across from me, whether she’s navigating fertility treatment, pregnancy anxiety, the transition to life as a new mum or something else.
​
Learning self-compassion changed everything. It’s what drives me now - walking alongside women who feel lost in that same space, reminding them they’re not broken, they’re human. There is hope. You will feel differently. This won’t last forever.
​
I’m not here for surface-level conversation. I’m here for what’s real - the stories behind the smiles, the grief behind the strength, the truth you’ve been carrying quietly for too long.
​
My clients often say they feel at ease with me quickly. That’s because I listen with genuine curiosity and care. I don’t just hear your words - I see you. Your fears, your resilience, your protective patterns, and the part of you that’s ready to grow.
​
Together, we’ll gently uncover what’s keeping you stuck - including the coping strategies that once helped you survive but now hold you back. Bit by bit, we’ll create space for the version of you that’s been waiting underneath: grounded, open, and whole.
​
I’ll walk with you through the messy middle - the tears, the laughter, the uncomfortable truths. Therapy isn’t about being fixed. It’s about being honest, being human, and finding a way forward that feels real.
​
If you’re ready to stop hiding the struggle and start transforming it, I’m ready to walk beside you.

Experience & Qualifications
My experience
Over the past 20 years, I’ve supported adults through change across a wide range of settings - from forensic and recovery services to employee wellbeing, counselling centres, and perinatal care.
​
I currently work for a perinatal charity part time, and opened my private practice in 2025.
​
My experience has taught me one essential truth: no two stories are the same. My role isn’t to fit you into a model, it’s to meet you exactly where you are and walk with you toward where you want to be.
Areas I work in
I support women navigating:
• Fertility challenges and treatment stress
• Pregnancy anxiety or loss
• Postpartum depression and adjustment
• Low mood, overthinking, or burnout
• Relationship strain and identity shifts
• Grief, trauma, and emotional overwhelm
My approach offers stillness in the noise - a calm, supportive space where you can breathe, reflect, and begin to heal.
​
Clients often tell me they feel truly seen and supported through their hardest moments, and proud when they move beyond what once felt impossible.
