I offer both in person and online psychotherapy for adults. I specialise in working with diagnosed/self-identified Autistic and AuDHD adults. I offer a neurodiversity-affirming approach to therapy.​ This approach respects client’s communication styles and sensory needs and promotes a positive neurodivergent identity. Being Autistic/AuDHD is a neurotype, not a mental health condition. Unfortunately, however, because neurodiverse people live in a neurotypical world which is not set up for them, many people suffer with co-occurring mental health conditions, such as anxiety and depression.

Our physical and mental well-being are interlinked. At times we may feel our worries and anxieties are dictating the way we live our lives. At times we find ourselves not able to enjoy things that we used to and get no sense of achievement in activities that we do. Do you want to make changes, but you have no idea on how to begin.

Life presents us with challenges—whether it’s anxiety, stress, relationship struggles, or personal roadblocks. My clients are people who feels stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about their next steps. They experience stress, low confidence, or difficulty navigating relationships, grief, or major life changes. More than anything, they want clarity, resilience, and a sense of direction. They seek not just relief from their struggles but the ability to take control and create meaningful change in their lives.

Hi, I am very much a Person-Centred / Humanistic Counsellor who allows the client to explore their issues and find their own way forward. I believe that sometimes we just need to stop and breath and allow ourselves the space to explore what’s next for us. I understand that counselling is not a 'one size fits all' process so I work on an integrated basis with the client to explore the therapies that will work for them. I have a special interest in bereavement as I have been working with clients who have lost loved ones during the Covid-19 pandemic. My own history of loss has helped me a great deal in this area.

I believe in the power of healing. I believe in the power of therapy. I believe it can be very difficult to reach out and ask for help. I believe I can help, because I believe in peoples ability to change their lives for the better. I believe personal circumstances can make change seem a daunting task, but little by little, with the right support, it can be life changing. Why do I believe all these things? Because I was in a place where I needed healing and with the right person/people, I changed my life.
