My story

Helping people has always been my thing

In a way, I always knew I'd end up doing this. I've loved helping people for as long as I can remember — it's what drew me to HR in the first place, and it's what eventually led me to therapy.

For more than 20 years, I worked in HR, organisational development and business change, supporting people through uncertainty, challenge and change. Alongside my career, I followed a long-standing fascination with people — why we think, feel and behave the way we do — completing a BSc in Behavioural Science, an MSc in Psychology, and eventually a Level 11 Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).

Training as a therapist felt less like a career change and more like arriving somewhere I'd always been heading.

Over the years, one thing I've come to believe is that much of what we struggle with isn't a sign that something is wrong with us — it's part of being human. We all experience periods of anxiety, self-doubt, loss, overwhelm and uncertainty. Yet many of us feel we should be coping better, doing better, or somehow finding it easier.

That's why I created Being Human Therapy.

"Much of what we struggle with isn't a sign that something is wrong with us — it's part of being human."

My approach is warm, collaborative and practical. I aim to create a space where you can explore what's going on without judgement, understand yourself more deeply, and make changes that feel meaningful and lasting.

These days, I bring together everything I've learned from working with people in organisations and in the therapy room — helping people navigate life's challenges with greater understanding, self-compassion and confidence.

Outside the therapy room

When I'm not working, you'll usually find me at the gym, getting lost in a good book, practising yoga, or spending time with the people I love.
