Therapy with warmth, humour, and a brew. A warm drink can be comforting, but it doesn’t magically fix the overwhelm, the masking, the relationship patterns, or the weight of old wounds. What it CAN do is help us slow down, breathe, and begin to explore things together at your pace. I work in a deeply person‑centred, trauma-informed and collaborative way, often with a cup of tea in hand; creating a space where you can show up exactly as you are. I have completed ADHD‑Certified Clinical Services Provider (ADHD‑CCSP) Training, and I’m currently undertaking Certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist (ASDCS) training.
I also bring my own lived experience of neurodivergence into the room in a grounded, therapeutic way. Whether you’re navigating ADHD or Autism (diagnosed or not), healing from trauma, or trying to understand your relationships and patterns, we’ll work together to make sense of your experiences and move towards the life you want.
My approach is gentle, validating, and rooted in safety- you set the pace, and I walk alongside you. It’s a privilege to be invited into someone’s inner world, and I hold that with care. Sound like the right place for you? Great, I'll pop the kettle on.

I primarily work with clients with ADHD & Autism. During our initial sessions, we will look at both past and present experiences with a neurodivergent lens, identifying areas in which you may struggle and looking at what can be put in place to support you while also affirming your neurotype- ultimately gaining a gradual sense of understanding, self-acceptance and confidence.

I use a person centred approach in my practice, in your first session we will explore what has brought you to therapy, these sessions have a real focus on autonomy- you are in control so the sessions are at your own pace. Throughout the sessions I can offer different perspectives, and offer psycho-education or tools that may help you to heal and understand yourself better.
