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.

📰 What’s the latest in Women's Health News 📰 ⭕ What’s in a Name? ⭕ Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) has been renamed as Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS). This change is important as it reclassifies the condition from a reproductive issue to a systemic endocrine and metabolic disorder. The removal of ‘cyst’ reflects an inaccuracy in terminology, as what this actually denotes is arrested ovarian follicles. The inclusion of ‘metabolic’ highlights that this condition can affect the whole body and should be treated as such. ⭕ Cancer Treatment Wins ⭕ The NHS is now offering a new targeted therapy (mirvetuximab soravtansine) for women and people living with ovarian cancer. The drug combines a ‘homing’ antibody with a cancer-killing medicine which attaches to ovarian cancer cells. This means that many living with ovarian cancer won’t have to suffer through chemotherapy. As patient Patricia Hill says, “it’s been incredibly positive… this is the first time that I’ve actually been able to get on with my life.” ⭕ English Caesarean Birth Rates ⭕ A recent report has highlighted that over 40% of births in England are now surgical, one of the highest rates in the world. This is an increase not reflected in other European countries or the USA. The report cites “demographic, health, social and health system changes in England”. However, this has not been accompanied by an improvement in outcomes for babies and maternal deaths have increased. Find out more: Ambia, J., Alderdice, F., Knight, M., Rowe, R., Sanders, J. & Carson, C. (2026). Short report: International comparison of caesarean birth rates, 2020 – 2025. University of Oxford. ⭕ National Maternity and Neonatal Taskforce ⭕ The independent investigation by Baroness Amos, which underpins the National Maternity and Neonatal Taskforce, is due to release its final report with recommendations later this month. Following this, the Taskforce will publish a new national action plan for maternity care – watch this space.
