I have 25 years of therapeutic experience. I work Online with Adults and Couples based in the UK. I specialise in working with autistic & neurodivergent people. I provide an accessible & compassionate service enabling people to learn about themselves and to address what is difficult in their lives. If we have been insufficiently understood and accepted we develop ways of being and doing that do not support our well being. With an understanding, trusted therapist we can begin to make sense of who we are, how we are and what has happened to us in our lives. We can be truer to ourselves and live with more confidence, ease and freedom.

I am a Neurodivergent Developmental Psychologist specialising in ADHD/ASC working with pre/teenagers and adults who are looking to develop a better understanding of how to manage and work towards overcoming their challenges.
Sessions feel welcoming, validating and free to talk without judgement. I understand how as an adult/parent we can become ‘stuck’ in unhelpful patterns of behaviours and talking about them in sessions can feel exposing and raw. I offer parent sessions to deep dive into issues at home and school. I also write to schools/college/work/etc with recommendations.

I have extensive work with children and adolescents for 30 years (primary teacher) and for the past 11 years I have worked amongst families who are Neurodiverse, Autistic/ ADHD and support siblings , both children and adults.
If you are looking for counselling services that specialise in neurodiversity, additional needs and siblings support, reach out today. Young people deserve to be heard, understood and supported on their journey to wellbeing. Parenting is challenging in the best of circumstances—even neurotypical children have immature self-regulation. But parenting a neurodivergent child is rewarding but also can be a different category of challenges. Having lived experience as a parent, a young person's unhappiness permeates to the whole family. Counselling not only supports your young person but also the wellbeing of the whole family too.

Being neurodivergent myself, I've been drawn to work with autism, ADHD and other neurotypes, as well as the gender, sexuality, kink, and relationship diversity (polyamory/non-monogamy) community, including sex workers.
I believe that every person has the inner wisdom and potential to create a fulfilling life for themselves. However, at some point, most of us will find that we need external perspective and a space to explore issues that might make us feel stuck or hopeless. To me, counselling is a collaborative and creative relational process, and my role within it is to help people find their own personal power and joy, no matter their circumstances. I'm an energetic practitioner who will laugh and get excited with you, but also respect your rhythm and create space for grief, pain and stuckness, for as long as it's needed.

My clients are people seeking a calm, accepting space to explore relationship issues, neurodivergence, identity questions including LGBTQ+, grief, trauma, anxiety, or overwhelm who value a relationally focused collaborative approach that adapts to their needs. Their goals often include easing distress or stuckness, understanding patterns, finding ways forward and steadiness during times of transition, and feeling more connected to themselves and others. Above all, they want to feel seen, supported, and able to grow at their own pace with a therapist who meets them with warmth, curiosity and respect.

I work with clients navigating depression, ADHD, and LGBTQ identity stuff—the big feelings, the low motivation, the "is it just me
I work with people who feel a bit stuck, a bit lost, or just a bit “what even is this?” I specialise in supporting LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent professionals who are juggling too much and feeling too little. We’ll make sense of things together—without judgement, jargon, or awkward silences. Therapy with me is about making sense of the mess, the mood swings, the “why am I like this?” moments. We talk. We laugh (sometimes). We gently poke at the hard stuff—grief, identity, low self-worth, burnout—and figure out what’s underneath.

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.
