About Me

Let me tell you a little bit about myself and how I got here.

I became a therapist because of how much my own therapy did for me at a low point in my life. That experience inspired me to dedicate my career to helping others in the same way. I chose a person-centred training course because I wanted to bring genuine compassion, authenticity and non-judgement into my work, values I strive to live by every day.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent many years studying languages and literature and working in higher education. That background continues to enrich my practice, because therapy is, in many ways, about story: telling it, reshaping it, and sometimes even rewriting it.

In 2015, I began practising yoga. It quickly became an anchor in my life, especially during a personal crisis in 2016, when yoga helped me stay grounded, present, and connected to my body. I eventually trained as a yoga teacher, initially just to deepen my own practice.

Like many women, I went from being an active child to a much less active teenager and young adult. Yoga was my entry point back into movement, but in my late thirties, everything changed when I fell in love with tennis. Within months, I was playing competitively. To support my performance, I started weight training, and a whole new world opened up. From there, I explored pole dancing, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, jazz dance, and climbing (to help me confront my fear of heights). I began lifting weights regularly at home and saw first-hand just how transformative consistent training could be.

As both my therapy practice and my physical training developed, I saw more and more clearly how deeply mental and physical health are connected. Yet, I also noticed how separate the support structures for each remained: therapists focus on emotions, personal trainers on fitness. But in real life, the crossover is huge. That separation started to feel artificial.

I wanted to bring together everything I had learned through therapy, yoga, sport, and training into one holistic approach. And so the idea of The Therapy Gym was born: a space where traditional therapy and physical training meet. Here, I help people reconnect with their bodies, build strength and resilience, improve fitness and wellbeing, and create lasting positive change.

Today, as a fully qualified psychotherapist, personal trainer and yoga teacher (scroll down to see my qualifications), I’m fortunate to guide clients in two powerful ways:

• In therapy, I walk alongside people as they face difficult emotions and heal from the past.

• In movement, I help people discover new physical strength and confidence, and celebrate their joy when they realise they are stronger than they ever imagined.
