Hi. I'm Erica.

I'm a psychologist – and no, I can't read your mind!

I'm a mum to a young adult who's pursuing their dreams, and I'm an adult carer to my parents. And I'm deeply passionate about supporting people to move beyond past experiences that may be holding them back.

For more than 20 years, I was an academic. As a forensic psychologist, I focused my energy on projects that combated and prevented domestic abuse. I held a senior leadership position, published extensively, and believed I was exactly where I was supposed to be. Then the pandemic struck, and like so many others, I paused. I reevaluated. And I realised I wanted something different.

In 2021, I set up my own consultancy.

Here's what I know from lived experience: I was a child carer who had to grow up really quickly. That shapes you. Those early experiences – the ones that ask too much of us too soon – they echo through our adult lives in ways we don't always recognise. They influence the decisions we make, especially the ones we make in our professional lives. The boundaries we struggle to set. The value we attach to ourselves. The risks we're afraid to take.

The work I do in my consultancy fulfils my mission to disrupt the legacy of trauma. I do this through coaching, supervision, and training that helps us create safety – for ourselves and for others – so we can actually thrive, not just survive.

In my spare time, I'm happiest doing anything creative. I'm a big reader. I play a number of musical instruments. I love making things with my hands. In my shop, you'll find some of the outcomes of these creative pursuits – colouring books that weave coaching processes into the pages, designed to support you through change and redundancy with intention and care.

If what you see here resonates with you, I'd love to meet. Click the link and let's set up a chat.
