Welcome to HÆLA Therapy (pronounced: hay-la)

I’m a qualified therapist offering therapy in Hale, Altrincham, as well as online across the UK.

I'm particularly interested in the connection between women's physical health and emotional wellbeing, and how different stages of life can influence our mental health, relationships and sense of identity.

My Master’s research explored the experiences women navigating perimenopause and menopause, and the relationship between these changes and mental health. This has shaped my interest in supporting women through experiences that are often misunderstood, overlooked or difficult to talk about.

My approach is warm, collaborative and individual to you. I believe therapy should be a space where you feel comfortable being yourself, without needing to minimise what you're going through.

I support those experiencing: 

  • Pre & post-natal mental health struggles

  • Life transistions such as perimenopause, menopause, separation or career shifts

  • Anxiety, stress, and burnout 

  • Depression and mood-related concerns 

  • Low self-esteem or self-worth 

  • Relationship or family challenges

Get in touch

Before becoming a counsellor, I spent 15 years working in the corporate world, giving me a first-hand understanding of the pressures of demanding careers and the challenges of balancing work with personal wellbeing.

I'm also a mother of two, so I understand how significant life transitions, particularly pregnancy and motherhood, can shape our sense of identity, relationships and emotional wellbeing.

Through my professional training and academic research into perimenopause, menopause and mental health, I've developed a particular interest in women's health and the emotional challenges that can accompany hormonal changes, motherhood and different stages of life.

I bring together my professional knowledge and lived experience to offer a warm, understanding space where you can explore what you're going through, feel heard and reconnect with yourself.

A little bit more about me…

My Approach

As an integrative counsellor, I believe that everyone's experiences are unique, and therapy should reflect that. I draw on different therapeutic approaches to suit your individual needs, including person-centred talking therapy, exploring relationship patterns, and practical techniques from CBT and mindfulness.

Our work together may help you to:

  • Navigate the emotional challenges of pregnancy, motherhood and life transitions

  • Explore the impact of perimenopause, menopause and hormonal changes on your emotional wellbeing

  • Process the emotional challenges of living with conditions such as endometriosis or chronic pain

  • Reconnect with your identity, confidence and sense of self

  • Manage feelings of anxiety, burnout and overwhelm

  • Establish healthier boundaries and prioritise your own needs without guilt
