I bring warmth, compassion and humour to my work and have interests in addictions, anxiety (especially OCD), depression, gender identity, ADHD, autism and bereavement.
I will work with you to address specific issues preventing you from feeling happy and fulfilled. Equally, I can help you to identify your goals if you are struggling to understand why you are feeling the way that you do. This may involve brief, focussed work, or a more exploratory approach to reach a greater understanding of yourself and your needs.

I have particular interest in working with adults with late-diagnosed ADHD and autism, whether that be self-realised or self-diagnosed, or formally diagnosed.
My belief as a practitioner is that as humans we are inherently good, but our circumstances and environment can impact how we view ourselves and others. Often, a person seeks therapy because they feel in conflict, moving between thinking about what they ‘should be’ and what they think they ‘are’. Events throughout life can cause us to challenge these scripts and can bring barriers and obstacles that prevent us living as our authentic selves. My role as counsellor is to offer a non-judgemental, empathic space where these thoughts can be explored and reflected upon safely and collaboratively.

I know living with Autism and ADHD is tiring.
Always anxious, feeling low and only ever imagining what a different life can look like? Are you tired of repeating the same patterns in life and ready for change? Continuously feeling misunderstood by others and sometimes even yourself? Do you often wonder who you are and what you really want in life? Our life experiences can make us feel like there is always something to worry about, we often worry about a yesterday we will never get back and a tomorrow that is not promised. We can work together to find happiness in the present. Therapy can be a daunting place, and everyone has their views on how it may help.

I am interested in the intersections between early life trauma, attachment and neurodivergence and can support people with an ADHD, ASD or BPD presentation.
Sometimes life can prove truly relentless. We have all experienced times when several challenges have simultaneously knocked at our door, perhaps when there is already so much we are holding for ourselves and our loved ones. Perhaps you are battling with a lack of meaning and purpose, relationship or work issues, climate grief, addiction. Maybe you feel isolated, lost in a fast-changing world that does not match your values, or stuck in recurring patterns that are no longer serving you. It could be that you are experiencing anxiety, depression, anger, suicidal thoughts, and you do not quite know what to do with them.

I work with a wide range of concerns, including race, ADHD, identity, trauma, anxiety, depression, isolation, and the difficult dynamics that can form within families and relationships.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by self-doubt or low self-esteem? Do you find it hard to express your true thoughts and feelings? Are you facing challenges in building and maintaining healthy relationships? If you often feel disconnected from others and struggle to form meaningful connections, you're not alone. These struggles may stem from past experiences, emotional patterns, or interpersonal skills. However, therapy is very much an individual process and working towards empowering self-awareness, self-acceptance, and confidence is key.

Most people who seek counselling and psychotherapy do not come with a diagnosis; they come because they are struggling with what’s going on in their life and/or what’s going on in their mind, and they are looking for change.

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.
