My Services
Does any of this sound familiar?
You had high expectations of how fulfilling parenthood would be (and what a great parent you would be) but things aren’t going to plan.
You feel exhausted and overwhelmed just thinking of everything that you have to do for your children. You’re tired all the time and yet you still can’t sleep properly.
The demands of parenthood feel relentless, your to-do list is endless and you’re knackered, anxious, irritable and resentful.
You’re not spending quality time with your children – you’re snapping at them over small things or avoiding them as much as possible.
You feel so sad, guilty and ashamed that it’s come to this. Sometimes things feel so hopeless and you feel trapped with no way to escape.
You can’t continue like this. Something has to change. You know your children deserve better and I think that you deserve better too.
You've been struggling alone with this for too long
let's get you the help you deserve!

Online Course
I’m developing an online course for parents who aren’t in a position to work with me 1:1 but need more support than my free written resources.

1:! Online Therapy
I offer specialist, online therapy for parental emotional wellbeing.
I’d love to support you if you are struggling with parenting stress or parental burnout, anger, anxiety, depression, guilt, grief – any difficult emotions or thoughts that are negatively impacting on your experience of parenthood.
Online sessions are 50mins long and cost £120. You can have as many or as few therapy sessions as you like but I suggest you budget for at least six sessions in order to start seeing some improvements in your wellbeing.
Effective therapy can require a significant time and financial investment but it has the potential to radically change your life for the better.
FAQs about ONLINE THERAPY WITH ME
These are some of the questions that people most often ask me about how I work.
I have a blog here that goes into more detail.
If your question isn’t answered here then please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
WHAT KIND OF THERAPIES DO YOU OFFER?
As a qualified clinical psychologist, I’m trained to offer a number of evidenced-based therapies but my overall orientation is cognitive-behavioural. I mostly use Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I also have additional specialist training in parental burnout diagnosis, prevention and treatment that I draw on.
HOW DO I KNOW WHETHER WE'D work well together?
I offer a free 15 minute call for all potential new clients. I’ll send you my terms and conditions before you commit to this call. You’ll get a feel of what it’s like to work online with me and ask any questions you have. I’ll ask you what your hopes for therapy are and explain my approach a little. You get to decide – no pressure – whether you want to go on and work together.
WHat DOES THERAPY WITH YOU LOOK LIKE?
Therapy can seem so mysterious that many curious people are put off accessing it. I offer a free 15min intro call so you can get a feel for what it’s like to spend time with me and you can ask any questions you like. I will be your cheerleader and coach, we’ll get you back on track. I wrote a blog that explains what therapy with me looks like in more detail here.
HOW FREQUENTLY DO WE MEET AND HOW MANY SESSIONS WILL I NEED?
It’s generally recommended to meet weekly in therapy, at least initially. Sometimes we can meet fortnightly, depending on the specific issues we’re working on. I can’t guess how many sessions you’ll need without an assessment but expect at least 6 to start to see some progress. I don’t draw therapy out for any longer than is necessary and you are free to stop whenever you please.
WHAT ARE YOUR FEES? DO YOU TAKE HEALTH INSURANCE OR DO DISCOUNTS?
Therapy can be a considerable investment but one that has the potential to change both your and your family’s lives. Each session costs £120 and the fee is paid at the time of booking. I do not accept health insurance or offer discounts. I do offer free resources in the form of social media posts, blogs, my email newsletter and free downloads.
CAN I HAVE my sessions in the evening or at the weekend?
I’ve chosen to organise my practice hours around the needs of my young family and so sessions are offered at 10:00, 11:30 and 13:00, Monday-Friday. Some of the many valuable skills I teach my clients involve identifying their own needs, asserting what they want and holding their own boundaries and I model these in the way I run my practice.
WILL YOU ALSO SEE MY PARTNER AND/OR MY CHILDREN?
I mostly work 1:1 with adults. It might be that we agree that it would be useful to involve your partner or maybe your older child/teen in a session for a specific reason. Most likely, if you need more support in those relationships or with your child’s mental health, then I would recommend a referral to a couples, family or child therapist.
DO YOU OFFER THERAPY FOR ISSUES OTHER THAN PARENTAL BURNOUT?
Absolutely. I’m a qualified clinical psychologist – I’ve trained to work with people with all kinds of emotional difficulties like anxiety, depression, stress, anger, grief etc. If you’re interested in therapy with me then please do get in touch to discuss. I’ll quickly let you know if I don’t think I’m the right psychologist for you and suggest a more appropriate person if I’m able.
