About me

Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or misunderstood?

You’re not alone. I specialise in supporting neurodivergent adults and young people navigating ADHD, Autism, anxiety, and life’s challenges. I work with those diagnosed with Autism or ADHD in adulthood, as well as individuals exploring a diagnosis for the first time. Whether you’re navigating neurodivergent experiences, anxiety, or depression, my goal is to offer a space where you feel truly heard, without judgment.

My Approach

I take an integrative approach, using a mix of therapeutic techniques tailored to your needs. This can include cognitive tools for reframing negative thoughts, mindfulness practices to help ground you, and creative expression if that resonates with you. I also believe in the importance of the body-mind connection and often incorporate this perspective into my work to support both your physical and emotional well-being.

What to Expect

In our first session, we’ll discuss your goals, address any questions you have, and set a pace that feels comfortable for you. You can share as much or as little as you’d like—this is a collaborative process. Together, we’ll identify the strategies that work best for you, helping you manage challenges and create positive change.

Session Options and Accessibility

I offer in-person sessions in Taunton, as well as online and phone appointments for added flexibility. These options allow us to meet in a way that fits your schedule and preferences, whether you’re local or seeking remote support.

A Little About Me

Outside the therapy room, I enjoy gardening, foraging in local woods, and spending time outdoors with my family. Movement helps me clear my mind and stay grounded—something I also encourage my clients to explore. I believe that connecting with the body can be an important part of the healing process, and I bring this into my therapeutic work.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

Accredited register membership

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
Accredited Register Scheme

The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).

This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Further information

Seeing a counsellor for the first time can cause some anxiety. This is very normal. I offer a brief initial chat over the phone or online to give you an idea of what counselling is and an opportunity to talk about and establish what it is you would like to resolve and to find out if therapy could be helpful for you. We would discuss the suitability for long or short-term therapy and the desired frequency. It is also an opportunity for you to ask any questions or raise any concerns you may have.

More importantly, this initial chat is designed for you to decide if you can work with me. It is important that you feel genuinely happy. I will also be honest if I don't think I am the right counsellor for you. All enquiries will be strictly confidential.

My office is in Albermarle Centre in Albermarle Road, Taunton. There is a free car park nearby (Morrisons for up to 2 hours) I also work online and over the phone.  I can speak English and Polish.
