“When you weren’t held as a kid, you develop a mind to hold yourself with”
Gabor Mate

I guide people through periods of transition, change and self-discovery — particularly those moments when the ways we have learned to survive, adapt and belong no longer seem to serve who we are becoming.

I am a Compassionate Inquiry® Practitioner and addiction coach with a clinical practice in Bloomsbury, London. My work explores the intersection of psyche, body, nervous system, attachment and relational experience, with a particular interest in women’s health and midlife. I support women navigating perimenopause, menopause, hormonal transition, later-life ADHD and neurodivergence.

As a later-in-life diagnosed ADHD woman and mother to an AuDHD child, I bring lived experience alongside my professional training. I am particularly interested in the unmasking that can occur in midlife, when long-held patterns of perfectionism, people-pleasing and over-functioning can become increasingly difficult to sustain. For some, recognising ADHD can bring a profound re-evaluation of their personal story — including struggles with regulating attention and emotion, sensitivity to rejection, masking, shame, exhaustion and the enormous effort involved in appearing to cope.

Through somatic tracking, interoception and awareness of nervous system states, we begin to notice how experience is expressed through sensation, activation, contraction, numbness, impulse and emotion. This can help us explore not only the stories we consciously remember, but implicit memory and the protective patterns the body has learned to anticipate through earlier relational experiences.

I also bring 15 years of sober living to my work with addiction and recovery. My empathic approach is grounded in understanding the pain and disconnection that can sit beneath addictive patterns, bringing compassion and curiosity to the unmet needs and protective adaptations that may have shaped them.

Ultimately, my work is about supporting greater authenticity, presence and agency — creating space to understand what shaped us, reconnect with the body, and discover how we want to live now.
