I started working on my therapy practice the week that my daughter was born in October 2020. I was determined that I didn't want to go back to work full-time in my old NHS job.

At the start of my journey, I constantly battled with constant self-doubt. My imposter syndrome told me I was a fraud and I should go back to my old therapy job. I struggled with constant anxiety. The idea of putting myself online for the world to see made me cringe and want to hide away.

Despite all of this self-doubt, I chose to take consistent action and invest in building my business and my confidence. I knew in my heart that the pay-offs of putting in all this work would be huge, and I was right!

At the time of writing this in 2024, my therapy practice has turned into the therapy practice that I had dreamed of. I see clients 3 days per week and earn significantly more than in previous full-time jobs. This means I spend 2 extra days with my daughter which I would never have been able to do before starting my practice.

In addition to this, I have…

• Built an Instagram audience of 65k+.

• Built a paid online membership which has provided mental health support to 250+ new mums.

• Been featured in major news publications such as The Independent, Huff Post and Women's Health.

• Secured dream brand partnerships, including filming a series of content with Pampers.

• Been invited to share my expertise on panel events, most recently for The Baby Show at the Excel Centre.

  Most importantly, my therapy business brings me so much joy. I never get the 'Sunday scaries' anymore. My therapy clients make therapy feel seamless and easy, to the point that work often work doesn't feel like work.
