I specialize in various areas of counselling including Autism spectrum disorder, grief & loss, depression, trauma, anxiety, relationship fractures and children/teenage issues.
Meeting each client where THEY are at is important for me to create genuine trust and openness. Whilst this remains a key aspect of what thorough therapists can achieve during sessions, my rich experience with my own neurodiverse children and their friendship circles has enabled me to hone my craft on how to connect effectively in this dimension.

As a Sexologist and Registered Counsellor, I support individuals and couples facing challenges in sex, communication, dating, libido, FIFO relationships, neurodiversity (ADHD/ autism), family stresses, sexual difficulties/pain, codependency, healing from betrayal, ENM/polyamory, and more.
As a Narrative Therapist and previous journalist I firmly believe that the stories we tell ourselves shape us. When we hold onto stories of fear, our limitations and insecurities it takes a toll on our relationships, especially the one we have with ourselves. I help people connect more to the stories they want to live by to have more meaningful relationships

I work with clients who have endured years of trauma due to a late diagnosis of Autism/ADHD.
The ideal counseling client is someone who may be late-diagnosed or curious about being an Autistic or an ADHD person who needs support in figuring out how to deal with life their way. They are willing to actively participate in the therapeutic process by becoming aware, curious, and nonjudgemental toward themselves and others. They may have experienced trauma through growing up and want to find a safe person to help them heal and find better ways of living in the present.

Adult ADHD/ Autism assessments.
There's an assumption that we should already be great at life, despite not generally being taught the skills to be as effective, confident, emotionally stable or as clear-headed as we want to be. I believe that the right therapist can help your unique brain and nervous system learn those skills in a way that is more easeful and works best for you.
