When it comes to health, there is a lot of information (and misinformation) that can be extremely difficult to navigate. I’m here to guide and support you to better health using evidence based nutritional medicine practices. I will look into your diet and lifestyle and use functional testing if necessary to come up with a plan to help you to become your healthiest you. My philosophy is food first, supplements second. Supplements are a really important tool to correct any deficiencies that are holding you back in your health goals. But often we tend to lean on supplements without correcting the reason why we were deficient in the first place. Nutritional deficiencies can lead to a whole range of serious health ailments and disease, including anxiety, depression, eczema, poor digestion and so much more. I can help you to: - lose weight - boost your immune system - have healthier skin - fine tune or completely overhaul your diet - reduce pain and inflammation - improve gut health - improve the overall health of you and your family - reduce stress and anxiety - balance hormones I love working with all ages and have a special interest in Gut Health and Paediatric Nutrition, including assisting with asthma and reactive airways, eczema, allergies and food intolerances. Appointments are available online or over the phone. After our consultation you will receive your personalised health plan via email including a prescription for any supplements and herbal medicines if needed.

I am a clinical psychologist with over a decade of experience in clinical supervisory roles held at both hospitals and private practice. In this time I have specialised in sleep issues, sleep disorders, psychotic spectrum disorders, bipolar disorder and other clinical presentations. I am passionate about providing caring and compassionate psychological support, tailored to my individual clients. Having extensive research and clinical experience in supporting people with sleep difficulties, I am passionate about working with clients to identify the root cause of individual sleep issues. I then work in collaboration with clients to explore how the sleep issues are affecting and impact their lives, including relationships, careers, health and wellbeing. Another key specialisation of mine is adjustment difficulties to life transitions. This refers to challenges individuals may experience when faced with a significant change or transition in their life. These changes can include moving to a new location, starting a new job, a new relationship, or experiencing a major life event such as a divorce or the death of a loved one. Another key presentation I work with is psychotic spectrum disorders - an umbrella term for neuropsychological conditions that causes a person to lose touch with or confuse reality. It can be characterised by a range of symptoms, including hallucinations, delusions, disordered thinking, and abnormal behaviours. Some other areas I work with include: Anxiety and sleep disorders Depression Bipolar disorder OCD PTSD Personality disorders Self-esteem issues I work with a variety of evidence-based approaches like - Schema Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, CBT, and DBT.
