Cardiac Psychology

The impact of a cardiac condition extends beyond the physical. The effects may be subtle, or significant, and can affect various domains of your life. Not only is the person with the cardiac condition affected, but also those around them. Whether you, or someone you care about, are struggling with any of the following, it can be helpful to get support:

  • Sudden cardiac event

  • Cardiac surgery or other cardiac treatments

  • Cardiac anxiety

  • Living with an ICD

  • Post-ICU delirium or trauma

  • Cardiac-related trauma including post-traumatic stress

  • Congenital cardiology

  • Cardiac inherited conditions

  • Needle, hospital or other medical phobias

  • Non-cardiac chest pain

  • Optimising wellbeing

  • Stress

  • Anxiety

  • Specific phobias or fears

  • Sleep problems

Professional Supervision

For professionals working in healthcare

Trust, safety, and a good quality relationship are key to effective supervision. I offer a strengths-based approach to professional supervision with a focus on promoting wellbeing and an ethically sound practice. My aim is to create a safe and collaborative space for self-reflection, restoration, sustainability, and professional growth.

For therapy or professional supervision to be beneficial, it’s important to find the right-fit for you. For more information get in touch.
