Hi! I am a BACP registered Counsellor & Creative Therapist. I work face to face and online/phone. I also offer walk & talk therapy in nature. Many of my clients are neurodivergent & I identify as neurodivergent, which I didn’t realise until later in life. I have 10 years experience of working one to one with either talking therapy (traditional counselling) or a blend of talking & creative therapy - whatever works for you. Book a free 15 min phone call - ask me any questions you may have & get to know me a little before deciding if you would like to work with me. For more information & online booking, please visit my website.

I am a BACP registered Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist working with both adults and children from age 9 upwards. I am warm and approachable and strive to provide a safe, non-judgemental, and confidential space for you to explore anything that you wish to talk about. My core modalility is person-centred, however I am trained to integrate other psychological approaches into our work together. This may mean the incorporation of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), as well as the use of Creative and Symbolic strategies. I offer a neuro-affirming approach.

I am a psychoanalyst in training and an accredited counsellor. I offer a safe space in which you can speak and be listened to without judgement or expectation. I encourage you to speak about whatever comes to mind and to follow your thoughts wherever they lead. You may have a diagnosis or have your own words for how you are suffering - that's often the place to start. What we may find is that issues of identity and relationships follow - how you see yourself in relation to those around you now or in the past and possibly how you would like relationships to change in the future.

People often reach out to therapy when they are ready for change. Some people do not even know what those changes might be yet. Your journey with therapy is very personal and you might be interested in understanding yourself better, or simply want a safe and confidential space to talk, get things off your mind. Whatever your thoughts are right now, I imagine you are hoping for something to be different in your life. I work extensively with Trauma, Grief, Anxiety, Depression, Chronic Illness and Chronic Pain. How different could your life look and feel if you could develop the understanding needed to reconnect with yourself?

Are you in a role where pressure or exposure to trauma is just ‘part of the job’? You’re relied upon to step in when others wouldn’t, but lately it’s felt a struggle. You’re still functioning, but have noticed you can’t switch off, struggle to sleep and things that never bothered you, are. You feel stuck in a cycle, but asking for help feels like defeat. Burnout isn’t weakness. Repeated exposure to stress or trauma accumulates in the body, and even the most resilient of people will experience the impact of being on high alert for too long. That shift can feel unnerving when your identity is built around competence and coping.

In troubling times it can sometimes feel like you are alone & seeking help might feel really difficult. Just having a space to make sense of the thoughts that jumble around our heads is invaluable. Perhaps you need to understand yourself, your relationships or events from your past. Sometimes all we need is someone to just listen and hear our story. Counselling promotes insight, fosters self-awareness & creates a stronger, more resilient sense of self. This powerful combination can be the kick-start for the changes in your life you wish to make - sometimes even the smallest changes can make a huge difference in your well-being.

Hi, I’m Nova, a CBT therapist working online with lived experience of OCD and anxiety. I know how exhausting it can feel when your thoughts keep looping, driving you to check, seek reassurance, or avoid situations in the hope of easing fear, guilt, or doubt. OCD often targets what matters most to you. Having been through this myself, I understand how real and overwhelming it can seem. In therapy, I provide a safe and collaborative space, built on empathy and understanding.
