I’m also a gay man, visual thinker, music lover, and diversity trainer.
The way I work is guided by the values of curiosity, creativity, and compassion. My aim is to offer you a freeing, non-judgemental environment where you can really be yourself; a safe space where you are encouraged to explore, question and grow in your own time; where every experience, feeling and part of you is welcome, particularly those ones that have been out in cold. At the start, the process can be like a ball of yarn, with many different threads tangled together. We will collaborate to unravel these threads, weaving them into something that makes more sense and is hopefully more manageable.

Hi, my name is Rebecca, and I am a fully qualified, pre-accredited psychotherapist. I work with individuals who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck—whether due to depression, trauma, addiction, chronic stress, or the weight of complex relationships. Many of the people I support are navigating family estrangement, no-contact or low-contact dynamics, and the grief, confusion, and emotional pain that can accompany those decisions. Together, we create space to process these experiences, helping you find clarity, steadiness, and relief.

In a few words, I identify as autistic, non-binary, queer, a video game fanatic, and occasionally an alternative drag/cabaret performer.
I specialise in working with neurodivergent clients through a neuroaffirming lens, that views autism, ADHD, dyslexia, etc. as differences rather than disabilities. While being neurodivergent can be inherently disabling, I work together with my clients on finding and embracing accommodations that make life more enjoyable and authentic.

As a queer, Autistic and ADHD therapist, I have a particular interest in working with clients who are neurodivergent and those who are part of the LGBTQIA+ communities.
As an integrative therapist, I try to use a counselling approach that will best suit you and your current situation. If you have been to therapy before we can discuss what has previously been helpful / unhelpful and if you are trying therapy for the first time, we can explore together what you might find most useful at this point in time.
