I began as an academic researcher, studying first time parents and the cognitive skills of babies at Cardiff University and UCL. I then qualified as a clinical psychologist and spent 10 years working in the NHS, in a variety of different types of mental health teams. Prior to setting up Fortitude I was part of the NHS perinatal mental health team in Cardiff. Here I provided therapy for pregnant women and those with babies under one year old running Mum and baby therapy groups and working one to one. Nowadays you can find me providing psychological training and supervision for NHS mental health professionals. I also have a Cardiff Clinic where I offer in person, or online psychological therapy for mums, whatever stage they are at on their motherhood journey. What has happened to you matters, as does how we plan your unique therapy course to where you want to be. A mum focus is central to all I do. You can access evidence based insight and approaches to enable you to move forward.
