I help clients navigate anxiety, stress, neurodiversity ( ADHD, autism), trauma, low self-esteem, grief, relationships, family dynamics, women’s health issues like PMDD & menopause.
At times, our thoughts and emotions can feel overwhelming—leaving us feeling stuck, lost, or uncertain about how to move forward. You may be seeking clarity, relief, or simply someone to talk to who will listen without judgment. I offer a safe, open space to explore what matters to you, at your pace. I'm a UKCP-accredited Counselling Psychotherapist with nearly 20 years’ experience working with adults, couples, and groups. My approach is collaborative, respectful, and client-focused—committed to empowering each person through a process that honours difference, identity, and growth.

I appreciate that people might be coming to therapy with different preconceptions, goals, past experiences, and/or worries. As starting therapy takes a lot of courage, it is important we go at your pace. As such, our first session together will focus on: Getting to know each other to make sure I am the right fit for you, and exploring the difficulties you would like support with. We might also start to develop your goals and think about the type of therapy best suited to meet these. covering other important aspects such as confidentiality, session length, and timings so we know what to expect from each other.

I specialise in working alongside clients who experience psychological need in the context of Neurodiversity (e.g. Autism Spectrum Conditions & Adult ADHD), and am neuroaffirmative in my approach.
I have practiced as a Clinical Psychologist for nearly 20 years. My manner is open, kind & approachable. The majority of my career has been spent working in psychological services in the NHS, mainly within South London & Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust. In recent years, I have also worked in private practice. I work with adults who experience a wide-range of psychological need, when it becomes apparent that something needs to change but you feel stuck and confused about how to move forwards. I view each person as an expert on their own lives & I will draw upon your strengths & values, working towards specific, co-created goals.

With over 17 years of experience as a counsellor and psychotherapist, I bring a creative approach, openness, and curiosity to support your journey toward deeper self-awareness, growth, understanding, and healing. I offer a supportive and attentive presence as we work together to explore what’s happening and identify your needs. Therapy is often perceived as hard work, and it can be. However, making meaningful changes creates more space for self-discovery, acceptance, and celebration.

Life can be hard and I believe that everyone could benefit from therapy at a number of points in their life, not just at the point of mental health crisis.

I work with clients presenting with complex issues such as Trauma, Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, ( Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) Autism, BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder), Bereavement, and Loss.
I’m a UKCP-Registered Neurodiverse Psychotherapist trained in Transactional Analysis which has its roots in Psychodynamic and Humanistic psychotherapy, and share similarities with Schema therapy. Transactional Analysis (TA) examines an individual's personality and how this has been shaped by experiences. This means I’m able to help clients understand the root of their issues and therefore make lasting changes.

I am a Play Therapist working with children ages 4–13 who are navigating big emotions related to anxiety, behavioural challenges, trauma, grief, neurodivergence, adoption or foster care transitions, and family changes. Many children want to feel safe, understood, and more in control of their emotions but may struggle to express themselves. Caregivers hope to see their child communicate more openly, reconnect with their strengths, and develop healthy coping skills so everyday life feels calmer, more balanced, and manageable for the whole family.

People make the choice to start therapy for many reasons: maybe you’ve experienced a loss, are finding it hard to feel in control of your life, or want to better understand who you are. I’ll work with you to build a relationship in which you can learn about how you are in the world and examine patterns and ideas from the past that might need updating for where you find yourself now.

I work with clients to understand their specific neurotype (e.g, ADHD, Autism, AuDHD), how it looks for them (as we are all unique), and what strengths and abilities they can employ to overcome challenges and achieve their goals.
I am a neuroaffirming integrative psychotherapist who supports clients in navigating and understanding their unique brain, including how they may thrive in certain environments and systems while struggling in others. I work with clients to develop a sense of awareness that allows them to unmask and let go of feeling like something needs to be "fixed". My aim is to support clients who struggle with shame, guilt and overwhelming emotions by uncovering their needs as well as their strengths and abilities.

You’re overwhelmed and have a busy brain, perhaps you even wonder about being ADHD?
I know high-striving, ambitious individuals want to do it all, at the same time - but hustling and resting later is not a recipe for success, it's a slippery slope towards burnout. I will help you let go of the pressure of perfection and overproductivity, so you can you burn bright, not burn out.

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.
