Who am I?

After a successful ten-year career in consultancy, I decided to shift direction and pursue my long-standing passion for supporting children and families with emotional and mental health needs. I now work as a secondary school counsellor across both mainstream and SEMH settings, supporting young people through adolescence.

Alongside this, I run a private practice offering a wide range of emotional and behavioural support for both parents and children, with a focus on practical, non-judgemental strategies that work in real life.

I hold a Postgraduate Certificate in Psychology and Neuroscience of Mental
Health from King’s College London and an MSc in Psychology from Portsmouth University, where my research focused on parenting styles and how they influence children’s online gaming behaviours. I am also an accredited Transformational Coach (ICF and AC) and currently working towards BACP counselling accreditation.

Giving back is central to my work. I volunteer as a counsellor with both Shout
UK and VLAD Outreach, supporting those who are marginalised or unable to access therapy. This has also given me the opportunity to work with adults facing a wide range of mental health challenges, and many of my private clients are non-parents seeking coaching to navigate life’s emotional complexities.

Most importantly, I’m a mother of three, so I understand the pressures of raising children in today’s fast-paced and uncertain world. This lived experience helps me support families with empathy and honesty. I truly feel privileged to do the work I do.
