Many families I work with have autistic, ADHD or otherwise neurodivergent children who may feel misunderstood, exhausted from masking or struggling with daily demands.
I provide neurodivergent-affirming, trauma-informed therapy tailored to each young person's individual needs. Drawing on CBT alongside creative, play-based and compassionate approaches, I support children and teenagers to understand their experiences, manage emotions, build resilience and develop practical strategies that feel achievable and meaningful.

My training and experience lies primarily in supporting clients who are, or who are wondering if they might be neurodivergent (self-diagnosis and formal diagnosis equally valid).
If you feel like you're wanting to make changes in your life but aren't sure where to start - or you're trying, but it isn't working out the way you thought it would - I can help. Have you been through something that's still sitting with you, even though you want to move past it? Counselling may be the answer to getting you to where you want to be.

I have experience working with neurodivergent clients and those navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, domestic violence, sexual abuse, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, relationship difficulties, and issues related to substance use.

By integrating elements from various therapeutic models while staying rooted in the person-centred philosophy, I tailor the work to meet the specific needs of each client.

I have expertise in trauma and neurodivergence and often work with clients who are wondering if they may be autistic, or have a confirmed diagnosis.
I tailor psychological therapy to each client and their needs, rather than having a prescriptive manualised approach. I firmly believe that therapy should not be 'one size fits all'. Deciding to seek therapy is a courageous step forward, and it is very important that you find a therapist you connect with. I invite you to visit my website for further details.

You may look like you’re coping on the outside, but inside you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or constantly questioning yourself. Perhaps your mind rarely switches off, you feel driven to get everything “right”, or a harsh inner critic tells you you’re not good enough. Or perhaps you and your partner have become stuck in painful patterns of conflict, distance or misunderstanding, leaving you feeling unheard, disconnected or unsure how to move forward. Whether you’re seeking therapy as an individual or as a couple, I offer a space where you don’t have to navigate these challenges alone.

Autism Counsellors
What is the most effective treatment for autism?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) has come to be considered the standard treatment for children with autism spectrum disorder, and research has confirmed its effectiveness for many children. Therapists trained in ABA techniques work with children (and their parents) on developing social skills, communication and learning abilities, and everyday habits of hygiene and grooming. The clinician will tailor their program to the child’s particular need but the overarching goal will be to help them advance as far as possible toward independence based on their level of symptoms and decrease the need for additional special services. Families should seek a mental health professional specifically trained in ABA, and holding special certification in the technique, who has extensive experience not only with the approach but in using it with children with the same level of symptoms as the child who needs care.
How does ABA work?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) sessions, which typically focus on positive reinforcement, can be intensive, lasting two or more hours several times a week, and continuing for two years or more. Therapists can also be expected to ask parents to take an active role in reinforcing lessons. Research has found that the technique can lead to major improvements that decrease the need for additional special services.
How does treatment for autism work?
Therapy sessions based on Applied Behavior Analysis will likely be frequent, intensive, and highly structured. After a thorough assessment, a therapist will help a child understand and develop skills in a range of areas, including communication, motor skills, social skills, self-care, play, and academic skills, as well as routines of daily living like hygiene. Typically, the therapist will help a child break down the components of a behavior—often referred to as the antecedent (what prompts an action), the behavior, and the consequence(what immediately follows)—and then reward the child at every step, while also asking parents to reinforce the lessons, and the rewards, throughout the day. This core therapy may be supplemented by occupational or speech therapy, and antidepressants, antipsychotics, and anticonvulsants may be prescribed to address specific severe symptoms.
How long does therapy for autism take?
Some people with autism spectrum disorder may be engaged in some level of therapy for many years, but research shows that treatment will be most effective if it is begun early and delivered intensively. When therapy begins by age 3, children tend to be better able to grasp and adopt the skills needed to manage everyday life, including attending school and establishing social relationships. This type of early-intervention treatment regimen is highly structured, typically involving 20 to 40 hours of one-on-one therapy per week, along with additional hours of engagement managed by parents, for a period of two years or more, although the duration of treatment is dependent on the child’s level of symptoms and pace of progress.
