I'm an academic psychologist, speaker, writer and mum of 3.
This is me in my natural habitat - outdoors in rural Essex where I can usually be found with one child running laps around me, another up a tree and at least one physically on my person. Chances are you'll also find a dog, a few cats and a small flock of poultry nearby too. For me, this is home.
It's loud, messy and chaotic at times. This place is full to the brim of family life and completely totally imperfect.
Which is why I'm here...
Hey, I'm Dr. Tuesday
Once upon a time I would've worn the label of Perfectionist as a badge of honour. Because setting crazy high standards and putting ridiculous amounts of pressure on myself worked really well for me. It's the reason I ended up with a whole PhD in Psychology. Doing well enough was never an option. Anything less than excellence was a failure in my mind.
I'm sure you can already imagine what this meant for me when I found myself moving through a part of life that couldn't be controlled, managed or mastered.
When I became a mother for the first time, I approached it the only way I knew how - by overpreparing, overplanning and pushing myself to do everything "right". Until I hit burn out less than 3 months into the game.
I decided at that point that something had to give and it couldn't be me anymore.
I'm a Recovering Perfectionist
The births of my second and third children changed everything for me.
I began to let go of control. I learned to trust myself. I stopped outsourcing my confidence and decision making and started tuning in to what actually mattered to me.
I was no longer chasing perfection.
I was choosing presence.
What I do
I help women move through messy, meaningful seasons of life - the identity shifts, big transitions, the unraveling and rebuilding - with ease, adaptability and resilience.
As both an academic psychologist and a mother of 3, I bring a unique blend of research-based insight and real-world understanding to my work.
Not only have I personally lived through so many of the experiences that I support others with, but I've spent years developing the tools to help people move through them with clarity and confidence.
I have a doctorate in Psychology with additional training in Hypnotherapy and Counselling Skills, Postnatal Mental Health and Early Parenting Relationships, Hypnobirthing and Integrative Change Work.
Whether you’re an individual ready to lead yourself through this next part of your life or a brand or organisation seeking a credible, empathetic voice to support your audience or team - I offer guidance, insight and real-world tools to support meaningful change.
Come along for the ride...
