You may be a high-masking autistic or ADHD woman. You may have spent years coping, and even outwardly succeeding, until your nervous system simply can’t keep up. Many of my clients are neurodivergent women, often late-diagnosed or self-diagnosed, navigating burnout, perimenopause, trauma, self-doubt, and deep exhaustion from masking. You may have tried therapy before without lasting change and feel stuck in the same patterns. You’re looking for specialist, neurodiversity-affirming therapy that helps you understand why you struggle and offers practical ways to move forward.
As a neuroscientist and therapist, I offer tailored nervous system-based interventions, going beyond insight alone, to address the root causes of overwhelm and burnout in ways that generic therapy models often fail to do. My approach is evidence-based, collaborative, and trauma-informed, to support you in creating meaningful and lasting change.
Reaching out can feel especially hard if you’ve felt misunderstood by therapists or professionals in the past. Many clients come to me after feeling unseen and exhausted from explaining themselves. Therapy with me offers a thoughtful, specialist space where your experiences make sense, and where you can finally feel supported to make real headway.

A recent client remarked: "I feel so much more comfortable with you than an NHS therapist!". During our sessions, we will get to know each other and find how you work best. We will chat about what you'd like to get out of therapy, and collaborate on a flexible plan to help you move in that direction.

I am a pluralistic counsellor and I am guided by your knowledge of yourself to find what works for you. If you're not sure, that's okay, we can find methods together. I often include my background in neuroscience to explore how and why nervous systems are the way they are. But mostly I will hold unconditional space for you to talk through your concerns.
