Registered Psychologist, MSc, PGDipPsychPrac

My interest in relationships has been shaped by the roles I’ve held throughout my life — as a daughter, sister, friend, mentor, partner, colleague, and leader. I’ve seen how the quality of our relationships directly influences how we think, feel, and operate day to day. My professional experience has sharpened this into a clear focus: using the dynamics of relationships to help people become more effective leaders in their personal lives, and learn skills that will support their psychological wellbeing.

Before becoming a psychologist, I spent four years working with young people in residential state care, where I saw the long-term impact of disrupted relationships. I then spent five years working therapeutically with adults in the family violence and addiction sector, delivering structured rehabilitation programmes. I later continued this work as a provisional psychologist in a prison setting, supporting men with histories of serious violence.

This work developed my ability to stay composed under pressure, engage directly with difficult material, and build trust quickly with people who had little reason to offer it. It strengthened my capacity to work without judgement while maintaining clear boundaries, with a strong focus on accountability and change. These principles underpin my work.

I work alongside clients to identify and challenge unhelpful patterns, develop a clearer understanding of themselves and others, and build the skills needed for more stable, effective relationships. This includes working through experiences such as rejection, betrayal, and loss — and translating insight into practical, lasting change.
