About me
For 24 years, I built a successful banking career. But beneath the surface, fear and self-doubt were my constant companions. Fear that I wasn't good enough, that someone would discover I was a fraud.
In 2011, I left banking to train as a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist. It changed everything.
Now I help people break free from the same patterns of self-doubt, anxiety, and the struggle with food that once held me back.
My Approach
I'm a BACP Accredited Therapist and Therapeutic Coach based in Holywood, County Down. I combine evidence-based CBT techniques with compassion and practical tools to help women end binge eating, chronic dieting, and yo-yo dieting for good.
My approach supports people who have spent years caught in yo-yo dieting, emotional eating, or reliance on willpower and external plans, helping them create psychology-based, self-compassionate, and ethical approaches to weight management that are sustainable and empowering.
This isn't about quick fixes or another diet. It's about helping you reclaim your power, your confidence, and your life.
My goal is to give you the understanding and tools to manage your own wellbeing long after our work together ends.
Qualifications
- BACP Accredited Therapist
- Therapeutic Coach specialising in Ethical Weight Management
- Post Graduate Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
- Beck Institute Training in CBT for Weight Management
- Specialised training in Mindfulness, NLP, and Behavioural Psychology
