My service caters for all ages, including those navigating the complexities of being neurodivergent (Dyslexic,Autistic,ADHD) in a predominantly neurotypical world. Those striving for personal growth, validation and emotional well-being. You may be struggling with Identity and self-acceptance, masking/burnout, executive dysfunction(planning, organising/time management), emotional dysregulation, low mood/anxiety, barriers to academic or professional success. I can support you with exploration of strengths and self-acceptance, the freedom to be authentic, and discuss tailored tools and strategies for growth and personal fulfilment.
As a neurodivergent clinical psychologist specialising in autism/ADHD, I provide tailored assessments, evidence-based strategies, and compassionate guidance. I help clients embrace their identity, improve executive functioning, manage emotions, and navigate academic, professional, or personal challenges—fostering growth, resilience, and authenticity
I understand how overwhelming it can be to navigate a “neurotypical” world. You deserve support that truly sees and values you for who you are. Together, we can work to overcome challenges, embrace strengths, and build a life that feels authentic and fulfilling. When you’re ready, I’d be honoured to walk this journey with you and celebrate your uniqueness.

I often use trauma informed CBT/DBT/CFT and art, collaboratively to support meaningful change. In our first session, we'll discuss what brought you to therapy and determine the best approach for your goals. We can explore neurodiversity and with CBT, we'll explore how your thoughts influence your emotions and experiences. I'll guide you in challenging unhelpful patterns to improve your well-being.
