Once you know exactly ‘what’ to do you will quickly regain control, find your feet, and move forward. I have over 30 years experience helping people and have been a consultant in charge of a major hospital Psychology Clinic. I have also worked in an Anxiety Disorder Clinic, and Family Therapy Clinic. This level of expertise allows for accurate diagnosis and personalised treatment. I employ practical, tested methods. When you are under stress it is easy to fall into the trap of thinking that you are powerless, and that this is just the way things are. You will start to believe, “I’m not as capable as I once was"

As humans, we possess remarkable resilience, but we are also highly vulnerable. There are numerous factors that can affect our wellbeing, leading to feelings such as anxiety, sadness, hurt, guilt, anger, loneliness, disconnection, sense of unfulfillment, emptiness, etc. Sometimes painful memories from the past prevent us from fully embracing the present and building positive experiences. Often our own thoughts and beliefs work against us. Behaviours that were once soothing and comfortable, over time, become destructive. Coping with loss is often incredibly difficult. Unresolved arguments or conflicts can damage close relationships.

My ideal client is ready for change. They’re insightful, proactive, and seeking clarity around patterns that no longer serve them—whether it’s anxiety, overthinking, or relationship challenges. They want practical strategies, not just talk, and are motivated to understand themselves more deeply. They’re not here to be rescued—they’re here to grow, to realign with their values, and to create a more grounded, authentic life.

I'm an AuDHD Therapist working with neurodiverse individuals and couples, helping them to connect more authentically in their relationships - whether that be in dating, with a partner, friends, family and at work. Having ADHD and/or autism can feel like speaking a completely different language. Our neurotype shapes our self-expression, communication, how we experience the world (such as sensory sensitivities) and how we like to connect. There's no one-size-fits-all relationship, so finding out what works for you (and how to voice that to others) is key to having meaningful, authentic relationships.

I am experienced working with people who are struggling with addiction, anxiety, stress, and adjustment challenges. This includes issues such as gambling, substance use, porn use, technology overuse, and difficulties with life transitions. The clients I work with present with a need to better understand their experiences, develop effective strategies for managing stressors, and foster self-compassion. Their goals frequently involve breaking free from unhelpful patterns, enhancing resilience, improving interpersonal relationships, and aligning their behaviors with their core values, striving towards more purpose in life.
