I am a HCPC Registered Practitioner Psychologist. I work as a Consultant Clinical Psychologist in the NHS. My approach involves working collaboratively with individuals, couples, families and teams to develop a shared understanding of the patterns they want to change or enhance. This often involves identifying existing strengths and supporting clients to increase their confidence in them. This can be helpful when difficult and often traumatic experiences have eroded people's confidence in their own adeptness. This includes significant experience of supporting clients with neurodiversity.

My therapy practice is built on many years of experience– from NHS mental health services to fatigue & pain management clinics, now having particular resonance for people living with non-visible health challenges, ADHD presentations and symptoms of burnout & overwhelm. I help build pathways to feeling more anchored, more autonomous, towards living life better. This is personal to everyone-maybe it's building helpful rhythms, habits, more meaning into your life; maybe managing symptoms; feeling more regulated in your mind & body; breaking cycles of masking, over-doing, self-judgement; maybe it's towards re-connecting with yourself.

I have over 25 years experience in supporting people with Autism, ADHD, relationship issues, developmental trauma, CPTSD, addictions. I have a passion about neurodivergent people living life to the full. I brought up two neurodivergent children. I offer a safe, calm non-judgemental space essential for the growth of trust. I learnt how the nervous system impacts relationships, how the past plays a role in the present. In therapy you can learn how to regulate emotions, communicate effectively, set boundaries and prioritise your needs. You will empower yourself, live more authentically and learn to make choices that nourish you.

You may be coming to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or affected by experiences that continue to shape how you feel about yourself and your relationships. Many people I work with are navigating anxiety, low mood, trauma-related difficulties, or ongoing stress linked to work, relationships, health, or life transitions. Often, they are seeking greater understanding of themselves, relief from emotional distress, and a way forward that feels more manageable and meaningful.

Hi, I'm Zoë (she/her) and I'm a relational-existential psychotherapist based in Hackney. I work with people grappling with their place in the world and the big questions of meaning, purpose, identity, belonging and existential anxiety. I offer a space to reflect and contemplate what it means to be you. Having an awareness of the systems and structures we live within is another important part of my practice. We cannot separate who we are, and the problems we face, from the world around us. My approach tries to help you to see yourself not just as an individual but part of a larger collection of people, places and histories.

Are you someone weird and whimsical, who's wondering if all your magical traits- the intuition, the sensitivity, the way you notice everything, might actually be neurodivergence? Do you often feel out of step with the world, like everyone else got a manual you never received? You might be autistic or have ADHD, formally diagnosed or still figuring it out, or simply have always sensed you were different. You might also be caught in patterns costing you- overworking, relying on substances, pushing yourself past empty- coping strategies that once made sense, but now leave you depleted and disconnected from who you are.

It is not at all unusual for any of us to experience a sense of anxiety or depression due to a life event that has caused us to feel “disconnected,” or simply “overwhelmed.” We might experience a bereavement or loss (a job, a relationship, a marriage); or issues may arise related to dating, getting married, or ageing and retirement. Alternatively, we might feel unable to be “ourselves,” or have the desire to nurture other aspects of our personality that seem underdeveloped: a lack of confidence to take risks and engage life, an ability to slow down, or an ability to be honest about our feelings with others. Psyhotherapy can help.
