I am a fully qualified Hypnotherapist, Psychotherapist, Counsellor, and Life Coach with extensive experience across the mental health sector, including roles within Social Services, the NHS, and the voluntary sector.
Alongside my general psychotherapy practice, I am the founder and director of easibirthing® Fertility to Parenthood. Through this work, I support women and their partners using Hypnosis and Psychotherapy for fertility, pregnancy, hypnobirthing, postnatal mental health, and parenting. I also ran a specialist training school for therapists for 17 years.

I am an accredited member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP), a Fellow of the National Society of Hypnosis and Psychotherapy, and registered with the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC). I adhere to all professional codes of ethics, including ongoing supervision, professional indemnity insurance, and continuous professional development. I am also a registered consultant for BUPA, AXA, AVIVA, and WPA private healthcare clients.

I hold the UKCP Child and Adolescent Proficiency Marker and have extensive experience working with children and young people aged 8–18. From 2012 to 2021, I managed the counselling service at Godolphin School in Salisbury, Wiltshire.

I am an Honorary Fellow of the National Society for Talking Therapies and was the first recipient of the Brookhouse and Biddle Award for contribution to hypnosis and psychotherapy. I am also an appointed practitioner for South Wiltshire and West Hampshire within the Brookhouse Hypnotherapy Group.

I am a mother of three and a grandparent of three. My professional passion for birth, parenting, and family relationships is rooted in my upbringing within a large extended family in rural Northern Ireland.

I'm an integrative therapist and trained shamanic practitioner. I am a firm believer in a holistic approach to therapy - when mind, body and spirit all work in harmony.

I primarily work with clients who experience anxiety issues, trauma and PTSD as well as complex trauma.  

For the time being I deliver only online therapy in my own practice. 

As for in person therapy, I deliver sessions for clients with childhood sexual trauma (CST) at Moira Anderson Foundation, Scotland.
