My ideal clients are neurodivergent teens, young adults and adults who are trying to understand themselves after a long time of feeling misunderstood. They may come to therapy feeling burnt out, masked, overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or unsure how to explain their needs without over-apologising. Many are navigating the messy overlap between neurodivergence, chronic illness, sensory sensitivity, executive dysfunction, identity, relationships and the exhaustion of trying to function in environments that were not built with them in mind.

You look like you’re coping, but inside you feel overwhelmed, irritable and stretched too thin. You may be raising children far from family support, navigating cultural expectations, relationship strain, or the intensity of strong-willed kids. The constant mental load, the guilt of never doing enough, or the tension that builds after long, exhausting days. You want to feel calmer, less guilty, more connected to yourself and your family, and to stop feeling like you’re failing at your relationship or as a mother.

Using a mix of IFS, somatic work, and CBT, I guide clients to understand themselves deeply, heal old wounds, and build lasting self-trust.
Now accepting new clients. If you’re exhausted from feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in patterns of low self-worth, trauma, or painful relationships, you’re not alone. Temporary fixes can leave those wounds open, making it hard to trust yourself or others. Together, we’ll face the root causes of your pain, not just the surface symptoms and build tools that help you break free for good. If you’re ready to stop surviving and start healing, book a free 30-minute consultation.

I support children, adolescents, and adults using evidence-based therapies including CBT, ACT, trauma-informed, and emotion-focused approaches, always tailored to your individual needs.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward, you’re not alone. You may be struggling with anxiety, low mood, the impact of past or recent trauma, relationship difficulties, or a growing sense that life feels harder than it should. You might be seeking clarity about yourself, your child, or your situation and wanting practical support that actually makes a difference. Many of the people I work with are looking for understanding as much as solutions. They want a safe, calm space where they can make sense of their experiences, feel genuinely heard, and develop skills to cope more effectively.
