With over sixteen years of experience, I support clients from diverse backgrounds, including those with ASD and ADHD, who may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about where they belong. I work with concerns such as anxiety, trauma, and depression, offering a space where you feel understood and supported. Together, we gently explore the emotional patterns shaping your life, creating room for clarity, self-understanding, and meaningful change. My approach is warm, affirming, and culturally attuned, honouring both your individuality and the communities that shape you while helping you reconnect with your strengths and move forward.

Many of us experience times when life feels hard - whether it's something we've been struggling with for a long time, or a present problem causing us pain or holding us back from living the life we want. At the heart of my work is building a trusting therapeutic relationship where you feel safe to share your story and explore what's troubling you in a warm, confidential, non-judgemental space. I believe all of us are doing the best we can, often in less than ideal circumstances, and I'll work alongside you at your own pace, gently uncovering new perspectives and possibilities for meaningful change & healing.

Experiencing difficult emotions in face of life challenges or crisis are often considered as “problems” that make us feel vulnerable, powerless or shameful. Although these "problems" are often natural human experiences, we sometimes struggle with the critical inner voice and have little compassion towards self. Psychotherapy is neither a quick fix of your psychological wounds nor a direct path to happiness. It's a process where you can start connecting with yourself and make sense of your own narrative in a safe and respectful space. The process of relating to a genuine human being itself could be the start of your healing journey.

I believe therapy can be a transformative experience. Whether you have recently been through a difficult or traumatic experience, are feeling lost, low, are struggling with negative self-image, or you just feel it may be helpful to have a space to untangle your thoughts and develop a deeper understanding of yourself, I can hold a safe and non-judgemental space for you. My work is integrative (meaning I draw from different therapy theories), and is client-centred, at your pace, gentle and compassionate.

I currently volunteer with a regional charity supporting people affected by eating disorders and have focused in this area whilst training.
I work as an integrative trained counsellor. This means I have trained with the influences of different forms of counselling and therapeutic input. I like this way of working as it allows me to work with you in a holistic and flexible manner depending on what you need. I believe no one person is the same so this allows me to meet you where you're at and join you on your journey. I offer a 20 minutes free introductory chat online to see if we’d be a good fit and how I can best support you, after this I offer weekly online 50 minutes sessions. After our first six sessions we can review any adaptations to your needs.

I offer a safe & confidential place for you to come and talk about anything in your life that may be causing you distress or confusion. I believe that counselling can benefit anyone; it can really help to talk to someone who is objective & professional. Often people come to counselling with no clear idea of what they want or how they feel. There is no expectation from me with regards to the issues you bring; counselling is your space & it is common for people to feel confused or unsure. My aim is to support you through the process & help you to better understand yourself & your struggles, so that you can move forward with your life.

You’re holding a lot — and from the outside, it might look like you’re coping. But inside, you feel overwhelmed, emotionally stretched, and caught in cycles of self-doubt, overthinking, or burnout. I work with women navigating ADHD, emotional intensity, and low self-trust — as well as mothers and carers of neurodivergent children who are carrying more than most people see. This isn’t about pushing through or adding more coping strategies. It's about safety, emotional safety. Your nervous system needs it. Our work together is collaborative, deeply personalised, and grounded in both clinical expertise and genuine compassion.

Humanistically recognising the needs of an individual ,we see how trauma can be held at a very deep level. Working from the story of an individuals early negative & positive childhood experiences and using Integrative therapy in a number of ways to help the process of getting to one's core beliefs, helps to create a safe space for them to explore and release old patterns. This happens by building a trust with the client to allow their vulnerability to come through. Then, looking at the blocks or defences, via counselling and body Psychotherapy, a unique holistic approach to wellbeing, allows the journey back to health.

Life often moves so quickly that we rarely have time or space to reflect on ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us. Counselling gives you the opportunity to slow down, explore what’s going on inside, and make sense of your experiences. While you may come to counselling with a specific concern, there might be underlying patterns in other areas of your life that could offer insight into why you're struggling. By exploring different aspects of your experience, we can start to connect the dots. This deeper understanding can help you see your challenges from a new perspective and help you to approach them differently.

Feeling disconnected or isolated? Many people struggle with loneliness, disconnection, and a lack of meaning in their lives. These experiences can be deeply rooted in a separation from the body, nature, and community—and may lead to depression, anxiety, or dissociation. As a therapist, I offer a space to explore these challenges with compassion and curiosity. Together, we’ll consider both personal and systemic influences on your wellbeing, including the impact of power and oppression. My approach integrates practical tools with psychological insight to support your healing and reconnection.

Whether you have recently experienced a crisis in life, or are dealing with a more prolonged sense of disillusionment, I offer a compassionate space for you to explore whatever issue brings you to therapy. Beginning to talk about yourself and what you are dealing with may feel new or even unnerving, so I am always mindful to work with you at your own pace. In this process many different issues may come up for you, and through talking together we have an opportunity to explore, reflect upon and understand more fully how and why you feel the way you do.
