I offer online therapy sessions and face to face sessions at the Practice Rooms in Brighton and in Hove and online.

I am currently available on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays between 10am and 2pm.

Psychodynamic Therapist for Mothers & Women Navigating Identity, Relationships & Matrescence

You may love your child deeply, yet feel overwhelmed, lost, or unlike yourself. Perhaps your relationships feel strained, or you find yourself reacting in ways you don’t fully understand. Many women are surprised by the emotional and psychological impact of motherhood—not just in the early days, but across the whole journey of caring for others.

I offer a space where you can begin to make sense of these experiences—without judgement, pressure, or expectation.

I specialise in supporting women through the ongoing transition of motherhood and caregiving, sometimes known as matrescence—the profound emotional, psychological, and identity shift that can unfold over time. This might include feelings of anxiety, resentment, guilt, disconnection, or a sense that you’ve lost who you once were.

My approach is psychodynamic, which means we look beneath the surface of what’s happening now to understand the deeper patterns shaping your experience. 

Together, we may explore how your early relationships, past experiences, and internal expectations influence how you relate to yourself, your child, and others. This deeper understanding can bring lasting change—not just coping, but clarity and relief.

I also recognise that many of the struggles women face are not just personal, but shaped by wider social, cultural, and structural pressures. The expectations placed on mothers and caregivers can be overwhelming and unequal. Therapy can be a place where your experience is taken seriously, and where you feel seen as a whole person—not just in your role as a parent.

You don’t need to be in crisis to seek therapy. You might simply feel that something isn’t quite right, or that you want to understand yourself more deeply. If you’re curious about working together, I welcome you to get in touch for an initial conversation.

I offer open-ended or shorter-term counselling – we can work together for as long as it feels helpful.

Get in touch and arrange a free 20-minute chat either online or on the telephone which lets us get an idea about each other. Then, if you choose to go ahead, we can book a 50-minute introductory session.

This first intro meeting is for you to share whatever it is that’s bringing you to counselling and to explore whether we would like to work together. It’s okay if you don’t have a specific problem in mind, it might just be a feeling that something is just not going well, or you feel stuck in a rut.

There is no commitment to continue after this first session, but once we have met and agreed to work together, I will offer you a weekly slot for your sessions. If you would like to take this up, I ask that you let me know within a few days.

Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays 10am until 2pm.

Online and/or in-person sessions at the Practice Rooms in Brighton and in Hove.
