ADHD/Autism Specialist -
Are you a high achieving individual feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure of yourself? Perhaps you’re carrying the weight of past experiences, struggling with low confidence, or finding it hard to navigate relationships and daily life. You may be questioning whether difficulties with attention memory are part of what’s holding you back, or wondering if a diagnosis like ADHD or autism could explain your challenges. Deep down, you want answers, relief, and a way forward. More than anything, you want to feel understood, rebuild your confidence, and reconnect with the person you know you truly are inside.

I want clients to feel at ease, so arts, fidget toys and creative projects are welcome in the space. I think a sense of humour in therapy is beneficial too.

I wonder what brings you here today? Maybe you are at quarter or midlife and desire change or meaning. Is the pressure and strain of 'doing it on your own' or 'holding it all in' is getting too much? Perhaps your relationships keep following the same painful scripts- maybe another pair of eyes and compassionate presence will help? Compulsions or addictions might offer short term relief but long term shame and anxiety- you might yearn to bring them into honest and caring dialogue?
An accredited UKCP Psychotherapist, informed by Relational Psychoanalysis, Jungian Psychology and Attachment Theory but holding these lightly.

Do you feel on high alert, experience anxiety, depression, maybe have racing thoughts, don't feel good enough and struggling to sleep. I can help you to feel calmer, lighter more connected to others, confident as well as feeling more in control. Life can feel so exhausting when you are overwhelmed. I understand that sense of confusion, isolation, feeling lost with how to be ‘strong’, be enough.
Together we can work on reducing the impact of distressing thoughts, reducing feelings of overwhelm and manage any self harm or suicidal thoughts and feelings. I will be beside you as you learn more about yourself and what you need.

You may be feeling anxious, low in mood or overwhelmed by stress. Perhaps relationships feel strained, family dynamics are difficult, or past experiences continue to affect your confidence and sense of self. You might not have clear answers yet, only a sense that something needs to change. Therapy offers a space to pause, reflect and begin to understand what is happening for you.

Sometimes the barriers we face aren’t just in the mind—they’re held in the body too. Fatigue, tension, or feeling disconnected from yourself can make even small changes feel impossible. In therapy, I help you:
- Make sense of recurring patterns.
- Understand how mind and body may be keeping you stuck.
- Develop kinder, more sustainable ways forward.
Together, we explore not just how you think, but how you feel and live day to day—so you can rebuild confidence, create lasting habits, and reconnect with the version of yourself that feels most authentic.

I know that seeking out a counsellor can be no easy task, and if you're reading this it's possible that you may have just had enough with feeling the way that you do. Sometimes we all need support in finding a way through, and in offering that support I bring the depth of my expertise and experience as a counsellor. I work with warmth, compassion and integrity, and a genuine desire to help a person tackle the particular difficulties facing them (see my video below). As a therapist I have some 20 years experience in supporting clients of all ages and from diverse backgrounds.

Hello and thank you for visiting my page. My name is Fernie.
I work with clients who may be struggling with the heavy weight of anxiety, the isolating grief of infertility and baby loss or the quiet exhaustion of navigating life as a person with neurodivergence, or are you a parent/carer helplessly trying to offer support. Perhaps you have spent your life feeling like you are "too much" or "not enough" constantly trying to adjust to fit in.
I will provide a safe, non judgmental space where the mask can finally come off, allowing you to explore these thoughts and feelings with a therapist who truly gets it.

Many of my clients arrive feeling low in confidence, stuck in family or friendship struggles, or weighed down by loss, trauma, anxiety or big life transitions. They leave calmer, clearer, and more like themselves again.
Clients often tell me they walk into my room, exhale deeply, and finally feel safe enough to let go. They feel listened to, respected, and gently challenged in ways that help them understand themselves more fully.
