You might be looking for a therapeutic space that feels open, collaborative, and non-judgemental, where you can explore and make sense of what’s happening for you. Some people I work with have been struggling for a long time, stuck in cycles of worry, rejection sensitivity, or self-doubt. Others are neurodivergent or exploring this later in life, often after years of masking and holding themselves to neurotypical expectations. Therapy here focuses on practical strategies while also building self-compassion, curiosity, and clarity about who you are and what you need.
I offer neuro-affirming, trauma-informed therapy for adults with anxiety (including health anxiety), trauma and complex PTSD, low self-esteem, perfectionism, relationship difficulties, and neurodivergence-related stressors like executive functioning differences or autistic burnout. I also offer autism and ADHD assessments for people aged 16+.
I understand that starting therapy, and meeting someone new, can feel daunting. I provide a calm, supportive space to explore your story, build self-compassion, and find ways forward at a pace that feels right for you.
