Adolescence is a time of enormous change — emotionally, physically, and socially. Without the right support, it can feel overwhelming, lonely, and confusing.
The work offered during the sessions will give young women the tools, support, and self-awareness to navigate this journey with confidence, clarity, and compassion for themselves. Here you can find more details of the therapies I use.
Through the RISE project I want to create an authentic space for girls and young women aged 14 to 21 where they can explore, express, and empower themselves during one of the most pivotal stages of life.
As a therapist and mental health nurse with 25 years of experience, working mainly in child and adolescent mental health, the RISE project is built on my deep understanding, compassion, and commitment to offer real and lasting transformation.
R.I.S.E
Resilience • Identity • Self-Esteem • Emotional Regulation.

Supporting young women to understand who they truly are — beyond labels, expectations, or social pressures.

Nurturing deep self-worth, inner value, and the confidence to take up space and speak their truth.
E — Emotional Regulation
Teaching emotional intelligence skills to manage feelings, relationships, and reactions in healthy ways.
Why RISE matters to me.
Because too many young women are silently struggling.
Because the pressure to be “perfect” is louder than ever.
Because they deserve a place to be seen, heard, and supported.
Services are often not listening and don’t offer intervention that brings about real change.
I approach with humour and a laid back, yet professional style.
My work is trauma-informed and person centred. It is a safe, inclusive, and non-judgmental space.
Through a blend of therapeutic conversations, creative expression, and nervous system awareness we will work together to support them finding their own way. Everyone is different.
Grounded in lived experience, not just theory, I remember what it was like to navigate the confusion and pain of these years.
RISE can make a difference for you or your young person.
I offer a creative service that offers clinical knowledge and experience with approaches and therapies that offer real change.
Appointments can be for parents or young people, parents will always benefit from doing some of their own exploration.
Free initial conversations can be made here.
