Counselling and Psychotherapy in North-East London, Essex, and Online

My Specialist Areas

As a counsellor and psychotherapist, although I welcome clients dealing with a wide range of issues, I have three specialist areas I am passionate about. I specialise in working with women to support them through fertility challenges, helping them to find and build fulfilling relationships, and helping them navigate emotionally complex life transitions. If this resonates with you, get in touch.

Therapy to Support You with Fertility Challenges

Dealing with fertility challenges can be extremely difficult and is often emotionally and physically exhausting. I work with individuals navigating all aspects of fertility struggles, including IVF, miscarriage, medical interventions, pregnancy after loss or treatment, and the isolating grief that often accompanies fertility uncertainty.

Alongside offering a safe, non-judgemental space to share what you’re going through, we might explore how this experience is affecting your identity, relationships, and sense of control; make space for grief and hope to coexist; and help you reconnect with yourself beyond timelines or treatment plans.

Therapy for Women Seeking Fulfilling, Committed Relationships

I support women who are struggling to find and develop the kind of long-term relationship they truly want. If you find it hard to meet the right kind of person, don’t have the confidence to truly be yourself, keep attracting unavailable or unsuitable partners, find dating draining and difficult, or have other challenges that relate to finding the right partner for you, I may be able to help you change things.

Our work can help you build emotional clarity, shift relational habits, strengthen self-confidence, and move toward finding a relationship that feels nourishing, supportive, and aligned with your values.

Therapy for Navigating Life Transitions

I also do a lot of work with women helping them to deal with emotionally complex life transitions such as a shift in identity, a change in circumstances, or a period of loss or uncertainty.


This might include, changing careers, ending a relationship, becoming a mother, losing a loved one, relocating from abroad, coming to terms with a chronic illness or disability, entering perimenopause or menopause, facing the prospect of not having children, and much more.


Depending on what they are, life transitions can feel both positive and negative, but to some degree all change tends to be challenging. As such, these transitional phases can elicit a wide range of emotional and psychological responses including stress, anxiety, low mood, lack of confidence, grief, fear, worry, or simply feeling overwhelmed by everything at once. Whatever it is you might be facing, I can support you as you deal with these changes and help you navigate your way through them.

And if you are ready to get support for any of these issues, get in touch now to arrange an appointment.
