Continuing Professional Development

Her ongoing professional development includes training across neurodiversity, including ADHD, autism, bipolar disorder, tics, and anxiety, as well as attachment and identity development, developmental trauma, eating disorders and body image, and depression and emotional wellbeing in young people.

Alongside this, her earlier background in art continues to inform her understanding of identity, expression, and the deeper human side of change. This breadth of experience allows her to support people in a practical, grounded, and psychologically informed way, helping them rebuild their health, habits, self-trust, and relationship with themselves in ways that support lasting change.
