Are you struggling with your relationship with your body, your identity, or your eating? I'm here to work with you in a personalised way, focusing on your personal relationship with food, your body, your identity, your culture, your life experiences, and your circumstances. I support people age 15+ who are struggling with body image distress and disordered eating, amongst other difficulties. I work with all types of EDs including bulimia, anorexia, binge eating disorder, avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), and difficult experiences with food that might not fit into one particular box or label.

Do you feel like the world gets in your way? Do you feel like no one sees you for who you really are? This is a space for you to talk through your feelings or whatever is on your mind at your own pace. My previous clients have included autistic people, people with ADHD, and people from the LGBTQIA+ community, and I have lived experience of navigating barriers as a disabled person who is a wheelchair user. I believe in affirming people's identity as they see themselves, by using your preferred name and pronouns.

Hey, I'm Kazzy. My special interests + skills are helping people who are feeling lost, sensitive to rejection, feel 'too much', unhelpable and may be struggling to navigate ADHD + rejection sensitivity dysphoria. You may be feeling invalidated by 'normal' therapy. For the past 8 years I’ve worked in the NHS as a psychotherapist & previously, a mental health social worker. I have been privileged enough to be allowed a glimpse into the rich inner worlds of many minds and never fail to be amazed at the resilience, the courage, the bravery of everyday folk.

My approach is clinical, caring and collaborative. My clients generally start treatment when they feel stuck, anxious or have experienced a significant event. By providing a safe space, we explore the presenting difficulties, whilst exploring what happened, what is maintaining the problem and what can we do to reframe or change the current situation. Clients usually start with the goal of I want to be happy or I want to feel like myself again, So we explore exactly what is happiness to you? Why do you currently not have it? What happened? and what would need to change for you to have it? Then we collaboratively bridge the gap.

Wanting to live a happy, purposeful and fulfilled life shouldn't feel like an impossible goal. You have a right to all these things. Even getting this far might have been difficult, but you've taken the first step to trying to make changes, feel better or have a better understanding of the world around you. Working together with you, I can help with all of these things. Everyday life can heap pressures on people and we can find ourselves anxious, worried, depressed or maybe just a niggling feeling that something isn't right. You might feel like this, and that there isn't a way forward, but there is.

I've been actively practicing as a Therapist for the last 5 years and have always worked with a variety of people from all ages and backgrounds. The youngest being 8 years and the oldest being 84. Many of these clients have lived in different places all over the country. This experience has meant that I have needed to become a different type of Therapist for each client that I work with to ensure that I am able to best support them. This has also meant that I have worked with people for many different reasons and has given me skills to comfortably meet people where they are and work towards their goals in Therapy.

Often we turn to therapy when we are faced with problems we can no longer carry alone. No longer feeling at home within ourselves, we feel called to reconnect with who we are. When we experience a ‘loss of self’, a painful rift emerges within the psyche. We feel severed from meaning, purpose and joy. This loss can be caused by any number of things - relationship issues, challenging life transitions, grief - and can be experienced as any number of symptoms: depression, anxiety, self-destructive behaviours. It can also be caused by the past invading our present in the persistent resurfacing of old psychological wounds and traumas.

Although I regularly work with clients of all ages and genders, the majority of my clients tend to be young men, who have unresolved feelings or experiences which are impacting on their daily lives. I work as an integrative counsellor, from a person-centred perspective. This means that you can bring whatever you wish to the session, while we work at your pace and depth. I employ theory and techniques from CBT, psychodynamic and other therapeutic philosophies which I feel may be useful. Where we start is not the important thing as ultimately, you will naturally discover the things that matter the most to you.

ADHD Counsellors

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.
