About this service
Hormonal transitions deserve dedicated support
Women's mental health is shaped by a unique interplay of biological, psychological, and social factors — many of which shift significantly during key hormonal transitions. The perinatal period and the approach to menopause are two of the most powerful of these transitions, and both are underserved by general mental health care.
As a Registered Nurse and Counselling Therapist, I bring both clinical depth and lived professional experience to this work. My approach is warm, evidence-informed, and grounded in a genuine understanding of what women move through during these seasons of life.
Specialized services
Two areas of dedicated women's mental health support
Pregnancy and the months after birth bring profound physical and emotional change. Alongside the joy of welcoming a baby, many women experience anxiety, overwhelm, intrusive thoughts, identity shifts, and increased emotional challenges — often in silence.
With both clinical and nursing experience supporting families through the perinatal and postpartum period, I bring a rare depth of understanding to this work — both medically and emotionally. In therapy, we create a space to talk openly and develop practical tools to support your wellbeing throughout pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood.
Prenatal anxiety and depression
Postpartum depression (PPD)
Birth trauma and difficult deliveries
Postpartum anxiety and OCD
Identity and relationship shifts
Infant bonding difficulties
Partner and family adjustment

The transition into perimenopause and menopause can bring unexpected changes in mood, anxiety, sleep, and emotional steadiness. Many women describe feeling more reactive, overwhelmed, or unlike themselves — and yet this experience is still widely underacknowledged in both medical and mental health settings.
Therapy provides space to understand these shifts, explore the impact of hormonal and life changes, and develop supportive strategies to help you move through this stage with greater clarity, balance, and self-compassion.
Anxiety, irritability and mood swings
Depression and low sense of self
Sleep disruption and fatigue
Brain fog and memory concerns
Identity and relationship changes
Grief for fertility, youth, or roles
Loss of purpose or direction
Feeling invisible or misunderstood

A unique perspective
The nursing difference
As both a Registered Nurse and a Counselling Therapist, I understand women's mental health from both sides of the clinical picture. That nursing background means I recognize the physical dimensions of these transitions — the hormonal shifts, the nervous system changes, the sleep disruption — and can hold all of that alongside the emotional and relational aspects of your experience. This is what whole-person care looks like in practice.

Why choose a therapist with a nursing background for women's mental health?
+
A nursing background brings a clinical understanding of the physical dimensions of hormonal transitions — the biology of postpartum recovery, the neurological shifts of perimenopause, the nervous system changes that drive so many symptoms. Combined with counselling expertise, this means truly integrated care that addresses the whole person, not just the emotional surface.
