My website
As a Chartered Member of the British Psychological Society and an HCPC-registered Practitioner Psychologist, I offer a warm, thoughtful, and individually tailored approach to therapy. I support adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, burnout, relationship difficulties, and the emotional impact of acute and chronic health conditions. Alongside private practice, I have extensive experience working within healthcare settings and supporting individuals navigating high-pressure environments, uncertainty, illness, and emotional overwhelm.
I hold a clinical specialism in adult neurodiversity and provide neuro-affirming therapy for individuals navigating ADHD and autism. I support clients exploring late diagnosis, masking, emotional regulation, sensory overwhelm, workplace stress, self-esteem difficulties, and the experience of functioning in environments not aligned with natural processing.
My primary focus is individual therapy, offering a reflective and non-judgemental space to better understand patterns, process experiences, and develop sustainable coping strategies within both personal and professional contexts. I also offer couples therapy, including support for neuro-mixed relationships. Please get in touch to discuss further.
