Are you living with higher levels of anxiety than those around you would’ve guessed? Pouring over moves you make, wishing you said or did things differently? Are you worrying at nighttime, despite all your best efforts not to? When our internal alarm system gets activated and the button to turn it off seems to have gone missing, it has a way of taking over every area of our life. I'm guessing that if you're reading this you've probably tried many ways to control the way you're feeling. It can be a frustrating experience not to gain control over it, perhaps especially so, if you’re used to succeed in other areas of your life.

I specialise in psychotherapy with neurodivergent children/adolescents and support families on their diagnosis journey. I have 9 years of experience working in the NHS across CAMHS and hospitals, and in private healthcare. After an autism or ADHD diagnosis, many families feel empowered and relieved that something has finally been understood, but it can often feel like care stops there, despite continuing to face issues such as family conflict, masking burnout or school avoidance. I offer post-diagnostic psychotherapy and structured parent psychoeducation to attend to some of these issues, so that the whole family feel supported

I’m an active, creative, and compassionate therapist, with a background in sport and theatre, and over 15 years of experience. I work with people who feel stuck in patterns — in themselves or in their relationships — that don’t shift despite insight or effort. This can include work stress, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, life changes and decisions, questions around identity, including LGBTQ+ experiences and more. I help make sense of what’s happening and support change that feels real and workable in everyday life.

Life can feel overwhelming when stress, anxiety, or self-doubt take up too much space. You might be coping on the surface but sensing that something deeper needs attention. Perhaps you’re struggling with burnout, relationship difficulties, or the lingering impact of past experiences that still influence your confidence, relationships, or sense of direction. You may feel exhausted from holding everything together or unsure how to create real change. Many of my clients come to therapy wanting to understand themselves more deeply, ease emotional pain, and find a calmer, steadier, and more compassionate way forward.
