About Me

From a very young age I experienced periods of high anxiety & Obsessive Compulsive thinking and behaviours.

As is often the way, in some areas of life I was confident.

Yet, honestly, there was always a nagging lack of belief in myself and my own sense of worthiness. I simply did not feel like I was ever really good enough. 

As is common with people who feel anxious and depressed, I thought it was just me. Just me who couldn’t cope, fit in or measure up. 

I struggled with self-sabotaging habits like procrastination, overthinking and people pleasing.  I was obsessive about certain aspects of my life. Unconsciously trying to deny painful feelings with an over-positive mindset. Leaving me feeling like an imposter.

Anxiety, OCD  & depression are always related to the root cause of feeling unsafe and it’s compensated for with over-controlling. 

I tried to control everything I could.

I managed to keep it together until 2011. By this time I had been stuck in these cycles of behaviour for more than 30 years . I was sleeping only about one hour a night. Virtually on the point of physical collapse and complete emotional overwhelm , I finally started to look for a solution.  

For the first time I gave myself permission to prioritise my own needs and well-being. 

My presenting issue was insomnia . I tried so many types of therapy and natural remedies. Though I experienced some improvement, poor sleep remained an issue. 

Real understanding and healing began when I came across the work being done in neuroscience. I set out to explore the incredible power of the mind and body connection.

Following the process, I experienced dramatic improvements, not only in my sleep but in my attitude to myself.  I was beginning to feel calmer  & enjoy greater clarity of mind. I noticed that day by day I was more optimistic, hopeful,  courageous.  

I decided that I wanted to help others overcome their anxiety, depression and trauma , so they too could enjoy all that life really has to offer.  

I am qualified in Anxiety Recovery, Dialetical Behaviour Therapy, Rapid Transformational Therapy & Mindfulness & Well-Being .  I have worked in Mental Health for over 20 years and have run a successful private practice since 2016.
