Emotional and psychological difficulties can occur at any age and growing up can be challenging, it can often leave children feeling out of control. Neurodivergent children may have the additional barrier of being unable to communicate their problems which may further heighten anxieties and leave them feeling unable to cope, this is often expressed through challenging behaviours, withdrawal, eating disorders or self-harm. Reaching out for support can be overwhelming but it is the first step in helping to understand behaviours, feelings and emotions.

I work with queer, trans, neurodivergent, or geeky folks who’ve always felt a bit “different” — and who are ready to explore how that has shaped their self-esteem, their relationships, and the way they move through the world. They’re looking for a therapist who gets it — someone who can hold space without judgment and walk beside them as they grow into more self-acceptance.

You’re someone others see as capable, but inside you’re carrying more than they realise. You might be feeling stuck, disconnected, or navigating burnout, grief, estrangement, or a major life shift. You’re not sure therapy is the right fit, but you want a space that’s safe, grounded, and genuinely helpful. You’re looking for clarity, emotional relief, and a way to move forward — not just at work, but in life. You want support that understands both the emotional weight you carry and the pressure to keep going.

I have always wanted to use my personal and professional experience to support others, especially young people and those living alongside young people. I have a specific passion towards supporting those facing social, emotional and behavioural challenges - including those involved in youth offending. I have a wealth of experience working with young people and vulnerable adults who are experiencing withdrawal or segregation from society, whether that's due to anxiety, depression, social or environmental factors, or situational factors.

I offer therapy to individuals aged 18+ in the Dunstable and Milton Keynes areas. I can help you explore any emotional difficulties you may have. Sometimes we don't know why we keep reacting to others the way we do. We just know we don't want to feel the way we feel anymore. Perhaps you seem to have everything together on the surface but underneath you feel overwhelmed, and you worry about what others might think of you if they knew the truth. You may have been trying to figure this out on your own but get frustrated because nothing seems to work. Maybe you feel that your issue is too insignificant and others have bigger problems.

Hi, I’m Coral — I’m really glad you’re here. Sometimes we feel disconnected — from ourselves, others, or life. That disconnection can show up in many ways: mood swings, burnout, anger, low mood, people-pleasing, or relationship struggles. You might feel something’s off or like you’ve lost touch with who you are. However it shows up, you’re welcome here — exactly as you are. I offer a supportive, non-judgmental, empathetic, and honest space to explore what’s going on inside. Together, we can untangle what’s happening, process your previous experiences, reconnect with your sense of self, and move toward lasting change.

An ideal client would be someone with an understanding of how counselling can be used effectively, that said - many discussions with my clients have given me new insights about this and often through these discussions, the client and I can arrive on the same page. Whilst I have a background in trauma training, I do not expect all clients to come with trauma as their reasons for seeking counselling. I am here for you, whatever it is you wish to discuss. My work with clients is open ended, as such - needs and goals can change over time, reviewing our work periodically will help address any change in your desired outcome(s).
