About Me
 
​
​
My work focuses on perinatal and parent–infant mental health, supporting parents and babies through the emotional challenges and relational changes that can arise during pregnancy, early parenthood and infant development.   

My approach is informed by psychoanalytic thinking, shaped through advanced academic study leading to a PhD; alongside attachment theory and reflective therapeutic practice.    

I have undertaken specialist training in Parent–Infant Psychotherapy and have gained clinical experience supporting parents and babies across NHS and specialist parent-infant settings, including two years working within an NHS Perinatal Mental Health Team.  

Alongside my professional work, I am also a mother, which continues to deepen my appreciation of the emotional complexity, vulnerability and richness of early parenthood.​
