Some people also explore how ADHD, autism, neurodivergence, or high sensitivity shape their experience.
I offer thoughtful, collaborative therapy focused on understanding patterns rather than diagnosing or fixing you. Together we explore how coping strategies developed, what maintains current difficulties, and how insight can support meaningful change. My approach is calm, reflective, and grounded in taking your experience seriously.

I believe we are all susceptible, at some point in our lives, to feeling overwhelmed by what life can bring. Sometimes we encounter experiences that are hard for us to come to terms with leaving us in need of support, this may be in the form of a bereavement, a relationship breakdown, a job loss; any event that we struggle to comprehend and understand. Other times a series of events may have taken place that leave us feeling like we are walking under a big black cloud and fail to see a way forward. At times like this counselling can help.

It is my belief that we all have very unique and individual reasons and circumstances surrounding our issues and that taking the step to share them with someone else can be intimidating. Which is why I am open to working in a non-judgemental way, with anyone who feels they want to share their thoughts and feelings in a safe and nurturing environment. I offer face to face or online video counselling via Zoom because I realise that not everyone wants to be in the same room as their therapist or are able to travel.

I work with adults who may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of themselves. Sometimes there’s a clear reason for reaching out, like a relationship difficulty, loss, or life change, and sometimes it’s just a sense that something doesn’t feel quite right. Many of the people I work with are used to coping on their own, but have reached a point where they would like space to talk things through and feel supported. Together, we can begin to make sense of what’s going on, explore patterns, and help you feel more grounded, understood, and able to move forward in a way that feels right for you.

Taking a trauma-informed approach I help clients with ACE’s, ASD, ADHD, BPD, EUPD, PTSD, OCD, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief and loss.
By listening to your story and understanding your needs I will provide a set of tools to help you move forward. When we have understood and achieved your goal the tools can help you ‘fly’. You will discover new coping skills and how to put boundaries in place, so you can face your future with more confidence and self -awareness. I live within a neurodivergent family. This enables me to relate to and make sense of a wide spectrum of thoughts and behaviours and help others understand 'why?'. My clients all share one thing in common- they know they could feel happier in their lives. My job is to help get them there.

I also work with late diagnosed or self diagnosed Autistic and ADHD individuals and I am a member of the Safe Space Alliance for LGBTQIA communities.
It’s scary admitting to yourself that you need help; and that you’re struggling with whatever is causing you to feel unhappy, dysregulated or distressed. Due to stigma, people feel that they can only access therapy when they are at breaking point; when in fact you can access therapy whenever you need to. My background is in working with abuse survivors, and those who have experienced trauma. As a result I work with narcissism, depression, low self esteem, shame, loneliness, hopelessness, grief & loss, anger, self harm and suicidal feelings as well as a broad range of other factors and experiences clients bring to their sessions.

When should I seek treatment for ADHD?
You should seek treatment for ADHD if you consistently have difficulty with attention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity that interferes with your daily life. Symptoms of ADHD include the inability to sustain attention during tasks, difficulty organizing tasks and activities, being easily distracted, frequent fidgeting or squirming, and talking or interrupting excessively. If these symptoms interfere with your career, academics, or relationships—for example, consistently failing to complete professional projects on time—you should seek an evaluation for ADHD.

How does treatment for ADHD work?
Effective treatment for ADHD often consists of medication, behavioural therapy, and lifestyle changes. Stimulant medications such as Adderall and Ritalin work by altering levels of neurotransmitters in the brain; higher levels of dopamine and norepinephrine are known to improve attention and focus. Therapy works by helping people with ADHD understand the condition, discuss their areas of difficulty, and develop behavioral strategies to manage their symptoms. In some cases, modifying one’s diet and exercise can also help improve symptoms.

How long does treatment for ADHD take?
It’s tough to give an exact time frame because everyone varies. In terms of medications, stimulants begin to work very soon after you take them, generally within the hour. It may take time to identify the right medication and dosage, but the medication itself is fast-acting. In terms of therapy, it takes time to develop skills and put them into practice, but you will likely see improvements within a few weeks or months.
