Hi, I’m an experienced, very human therapist specialising in working with high-achievers with low self-esteem, high-functioning anxiety, burnout, or OCD, including autistic/ADHD folks. If you’ve always been “the clever one”, but never quite fit in, I’ve got you. Maybe your life looks great, but inside you feel inadequate and like you’ll be "found out". Overwhelm; feeling stuck, not good enough; overpreparing, procrastinating - it may all be a fear of failure. My approach: Challenge what's unhelpful while honouring your experiences and unique brain - so you unhook from the "there's something wrong with me" loop, and live your truth.
I'm a senior neuro-affirming and LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist (BABCP-accredited). We'll work with the anxiety, self-doubt, burnout, OCD, but also what's underneath - expectations, fear of failure, vulnerability, being found out. And then - less overthinking & limiting yourself, more balance & understanding - and knowing, deep down, that you're enough.
I don’t do polished - expect warmth, authenticity, and a silly sense of humour. I’m based in London and offer online evidence-based therapy based on CBT, ACT, and mindfulness, both exploring and using active interventions to get you unstuck. See my website for more info and options to email me or book a free online intro call to see if we ‘click’.

We'll work with anxiety, intrusive thoughts, overwhelm, procrastination, overthinking - but not in a 'plaster over a wound' way: We'll both explore deeply and use active interventions to get you to a place where you don't just survive, but really live your life (with less noise, and more peace). No BS, no "Everyone's a little bit ADHD/autistic"/"I don't see sexuality/gender" nonsense.

My main training is in CBT, but I'm the therapist for those who've tried CBT and it hasn't worked - as my blend of CBT is actually more Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness. Also, I'm a high-achieving introvert myself, have practised mindfulness personally since 2015, and have had my own therapy. I'll be human first, always - bringing humour & honesty so you feel safe & heard.
