Director of Perinatal Psychology and Women’s Health

Clinical Psychologist

To join another individual on their journey has always felt like a privilege to me. Over 15 years of clinical practice, largely in the GCC, I have developed a compassionate and culturally aware approach to therapy. I am trained in a number of psychological modalities; Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Schema Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). This facilitates a person-centred and dynamic approach to therapy, that accounts for the individual needs of the client and the journey they are on.

I was born and raised in the UK, spending the majority of my life in Scotland where nature and the outdoors were a huge influence on me. I have travelled extensively and love experiencing other cultures and countries. I have always been curious about people and never happier than when I am surrounded by friends and family. In fact, I may be the only person you know who likes it when their flight is delayed, as it means more time to people watch! I am a Mum to three beautiful boys biologically and one equally beautiful stepson. Becoming a Mum brought a new dimension to my clinical practice and fuelled a passion for all things pregnancy, post-partum, and infancy.

A large proportion of my practice is now focussed on supporting clients in pregnancy and during the postnatal period. This includes pre- and post-natal mood disorders, traumatic birth, fertility and IVF, infant loss, concerns around bonding and specific phobias. I also see many other psychological presentations and welcome clients of both gender from 16+. This is generally on a one-to-one basis, but I also run groups including Mellow Bumps which is an evidence-based programme developed in the UK to support women during their pregnancy. I offer supervision for other psychologists and enjoy working collaboratively with colleagues from other disciplines. I believe this is a rich opportunity for knowledge sharing and learning and enjoy providing consultation and training opportunities to colleagues in psychology and beyond.

When I am not working, you will usually find me with my children. But I also love spending time with friends, working out (preferably with friends!), horse riding, food (lots of food!) and reading a good book in hammock.
