I’m an Occupational Therapist, and I support you to make day-to-day life feel more manageable by focusing on what matters to you and building practical, personalised strategies that fit your real life.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for a change, our work together will be collaborative, supportive, and paced around you.

My approach is holistic and non-judgmental. Together, we’ll work towards goals that feel realistic, meaningful, and sustainable.

People often come to me for support with:

·       Sleep hygiene

·       Person-centred coping strategies and stress management

·       Workplace and environmental adjustments

·       Energy conservation, fatigue management, and pacing

·       Recommendations for aids and minor home adaptations

·       Building routines and daily structure

·       Pelvic health support

·       Navigating life transitions

·       Signposting and onward referral for specialist healthcare input (when needed)

At the heart of my work is helping you maintain, or reconnect with, the activities that are meaningful to you (your “occupations”). Supporting people with PMOS is a particular passion of mine; as Rhiannon Crisp and Michelle Luken would say, it’s my “burn in” because it aligns closely with my values and feels deeply purposeful.

‘Occupations are activities which we need, want or like to do to live and to look after our physical and mental health, and our emotional and spiritual wellbeing. We carry out occupations from the moment we are born, on our own or with others.’ (Royal College of Occupational Therapists, 2025).

I also understand, personally, how it can feel to receive a diagnosis and be left with more questions than answers.

As a British woman of Caribbean heritage, my early experience of seeking help was challenging. I was advised to “lose weight” and manage borderline type 2 diabetes, but I didn’t receive much support for the wider impact on my day-to-day life. Over time, I’ve learned how valuable it is to have tailored, realistic guidance, and that’s the kind of support I aim to offer you.

When I started researching, I found a lot of information that felt confusing, contradictory, and at times unhelpful.

I also experienced how much trial and error can be involved, and how isolating it can feel when support is limited. Occupational Therapy can help you turn knowledge into action, creating routines and strategies that are shaped around your needs, preferences, energy, and environment.

For a period, I focused on diet changes and regular exercise (I’m a runner and naturally leaned towards cardio). Over time, changing work demands made it harder to stay consistent, which affected both my physical and mental health. What helped most was coming back to small, steady changes that I could actually maintain.

Social media can be helpful, but it can also be overwhelming. What works well for one person’s PMOS symptoms may not be right for someone else, and that’s okay.

You may be managing PMOS alongside work, family life, and everything else on your plate. Because PMOS is lifelong, it can affect energy, mood, and your ability to do everyday activities, especially during busy or stressful periods.

Rather than telling you what worked for me, I’ll help you figure out what works for you, without judgment, and without pressure to do everything at once. We’ll focus on strategies you can keep up in real life, so you can feel more confident in your body and day-to-day routines, and invest your time and money in what is genuinely helpful.

I have over 10 years of experience working in the NHS across inpatient and community services. My areas of interest include PMOS, women’s health, and pelvic health.

If you’d like to work together, you’re welcome to book an appointment with me. We’ll start with what you’re finding most difficult right now and build from there, step by step.
