Feeling overwhelmed or unheard can be incredibly isolating. I offer a warm, supportive space to explore your thoughts and feelings at at a pace that feels right for you. Whether you’re navigating grief, anxiety, low mood, or looking for neuro‑affirming support as a neurodivergent person, I’m here to help you build self‑awareness and move toward meaningful change. If you're newly diagnosed or self‑diagnosed with autism or ADHD, we can work together to understand what this means for your past, present and future, and find ways to cope in a world that may not always feel built with you in mind.
There’s not one best way to have therapy. Some clients enjoy a regular weekly session in my cosy room, often with my dog Bella keeping us company. Others prefer more flexibility, whether that’s adjusting the frequency of sessions or choosing a format that suits them best, including face‑to‑face, online, or outdoor therapy. I work daytime Monday to Wednesday.
As an integrative counsellor, I tailor my approach to suit your unique needs and support you in moving towards meaningful change. Our work together may involve exploring how past relationship patterns shape your current experiences, understanding how self‑worth influences your emotional world, or using creative methods to gently navigate difficult feelings.
