Sessions Offered:

I am a UKCP-registered group and individual psychodrama psychotherapist with extensive experience in hospital and rehabilitation settings as well as in private practice in London.

My work at Moon focuses on helping women navigate the roles visited upon them by bodily, hormonal and psychological change, exploring ways in which to transform obstacles into empowerment and frustration into curiosity. Presentations include:

  • Premenstrual Syndrome
  • Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder
  • Miscarriage
  • IVF journey
  • Pregnancy
  • Breastfeeding challenges
  • Perinatal and/or postnatal depression and/or psychotic symptoms
  • Perimenopause.

An initial consultation, whilst tailored to your unique needs, will generally include creating a visual of your challenge(s) either using art, colours or small objects. Psychodrama is all about identifying the roles we embody in any one moment (e.g. practitioner, client, mother, woman, partner, worker, eater, feeder...), understanding their nuances and what is needed for some roles to be developed, supported, diminished or evolved in order for meaningful change to happen, whether that is in response to your body and mind or to others you feel impact your life and health. You may wish to simply identify these in a single session or to go forward with a time-limited or open-ended course of psychodrama psychotherapy for us to navigate the journey together.

I trained between 2015 and 2023 at the London Centre for Group and Individual Psychotherapy and have worked in both NHS and private hospital and rehabilitation settings with both groups and individuals as well as in private practice since 2018.

I am currently developing a strand of psychodrama work specifically for couple role work, and have a particular interest in the potential of psychodrama to help women strengthen their relationships with their evolving bodies and the resulting impact on mind, self-image and self-perception.

The latest piece from local artist @jencableart (Hothouse Flower) to beautifully adorn the wall of Moon. Hothouse flowers' colours may be brilliant and their petals flawless, yet their beauty is fragile—remove them from the tightly controlled environment of the greenhouse, and they wither. Every aspect of their existence depends on external care. They embody luxury, thriving in isolation from the harsher realities of wind, rain, and change.   In contrast, wild flowers can emerge anywhere, on rocky soil, under shifting skies, and on wind swept plains (much like the Heath at the moment😉).  Their blossoms endure cold snaps, nibbles from local insects, and sudden brushes with curious dogs.  Though their stems may bend and their petals may bear marks of struggle, these are marks of endurance, not weakness. True vitality doesn’t depend on shelter from difficulty but on balance with the environment, responding flexibly to what life provides. Where the hot house flower dazzles briefly, natural health endures. One fades with the loss of its careful protection; the other thrives precisely because it has learned to live and bloom in the open air.   So this Easter break, take a moment to step onto the Heath or Waterlow Park and enjoy the daffodils nodding gently in the breeze and the last of the crocuses pushing through. Take a minute to enjoy the crisp air, flashes of green, new life, and the distant rustle of trees whilst you enjoy a quiet moment of renewal and connection with the season.

Happy Mother's Day! 💛 We’re sharing something very close to our hearts today. We're fundraising to keep the doors of our local New Mama & Parent Drop-In open for the next three months — and we need the community's help. Since June 2024, Moon Community Health's free Drop-In has welcomed over 500 local parents and babies. Every session brings together six health specialists under one roof — breastfeeding support, women's health physio, sleep consultancy, emotional health, baby-wearing, weaning and more. No appointment. No waiting list. No cost. Support that would cost hundreds of pounds privately — free to every family that needs it. 💙 We're hoping to raise £2,100 to fund the next three sessions (April–June 2026). Each session costs £700 to run and we have no ongoing government funding — so every pound genuinely makes a difference. If you can spare anything at all, please donate via the link in our bio to our Crowdfunding page. And if you can't donate right now, simply sharing this with someone who might is just as valuable. Thank you so much. 🙏 🔗 Donate via link in bio.
