Director and Therapist

I am passionate about sharing what I know to help people live their best life, no matter what their circumstances. It has been a dream of mine to provide a ‘one-stop shop’ where individuals and families can find the space and support they need to better manage life’s challenges. I am particularly interested in enabling people to take charge of their lives.

I have a long and rich tapestry of professional roles in a variety of mental health settings, theoretical training, and experience within my own family of neurodiversity and mental health challenges. I have an eclectic and compassionate approach as I believe everyone is unique, needing different things to clarify who they are and what they need to achieve their best.

I have children and grandchildren and love spending time with all of them, my friends, and my rescue dog Fibi. You will often find us in the woods, at the beach, on the water in a kayak, or up on the hills and mountains.

Director and Psychotherapist

I love working with families and making a difference in people’s lives. My vision for Space 2B You is of an accessible, efficient, and trusted service.

It is also important to me that our service fits around our clients rather than expecting them to fit in with us. Our therapists have the knowledge and skills to be able to work effectively in this way.

I have been a therapist for 18 years and a passionate champion for Autism and Neurodevelopmental needs. My approach is systemic, person-centred and solution focused putting the person at the centre of their care is very important to me. I see myself as a therapist with the knowledge, skills, and flexibility to help people as quickly and efficiently as possible.

I love animals and have lots of cats and dogs, some of whom you will meet in sessions!! I like anything to do with water and enjoy walking and traveling.

Mental health therapist

I have been a mental health therapist in the NHS for nearly 20 years, working therapeutically with children and adolescents with moderate to severe mental health needs and their parent-carers.

Prior to this I achieved my Bachelor of Education with English Hons with qualified teacher status. Through my work in primary schools, I discovered my passion for working with young people with autism and ADHD.

This passion led me to focus my career on supporting young people and complete my masters degree in social work, working with some of the most vulnerable young people in society. This facilitated my understanding of how attachment difficulties and trauma impacts on mental health, self esteem, learning and social relationships.

During my 20 years experience as a mental health therapist in a Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service I have specialised in adapting therapies for children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities and/or ASC.

Chartered Counselling Psychologist

I am a chartered Counselling Psychologist. I am also trained in Person Centred therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR). Prior to this I had a long career as a teacher and a Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENDCO).

I work in a hospital with clients sectioned under the mental health act and present with various mental health and neurodevelopmental challenges. My specialism is working with clients who experience anxiety and trauma-related symptoms. I am also a University Lecturer in Counselling and Psychotherapy.

I am well aware of the power dynamic and the challenges clients face to feel heard and validated. This is one reason as to why it is so important to support the client so they feel safe within the therapeutic space. I am quite open when I say that I am neurodivergent, I have ADHD, and dyslexia. However, I have learnt to embrace my diversity and see the positives in it rather than focus on the things that I struggle do as well as others! In my personal life, I am a cat dad, I love to go for walks with my headphones in (it is my way of switching off from all of the noise we can experience from time to time) and love internet shopping (sometimes too much 😉)

Coaching Psychologist

I am a Coaching Psychologist. My practice is built on a foundation of 20 years’ experience as a Tenancy Support Officer, supporting families with complex lives.

I was drawn to Coaching as it focuses on moving forward, finding practical steps that promote resilience and wellbeing. I use evidence based positive psychology approaches to help people recognise their strengths, discover what brings them meaning and find the ways to build more of that into their daily lives. This is reinforced through learning to take a kinder, more compassionate self-view. With these skills, clients can feel more confident in negotiating life’s ups and downs.

I am experienced at supporting families in completing PIP and DLA paperwork. I am a graduate member of the Coaching Division of the British Psychology Society and have a Masters in Psychology, a Level 5 Diploma in Positive Psychology Coaching Practice and am a professional member of the Positive Psychology Guild.

I love creative writing and build this into my coaching using journaling and narrative techniques. I have three (almost) grown children and spend time wandering the country visiting them and taking long walks with my husband and Koko the dog.
