About me
Functioning well on the outside, but depleted, anxious, or constantly overthinking on the inside? When you spend your life adapting to spaces not built for your nervous system, it’s easy to feel burnt out, disconnected, and exhausted from holding it all together.
You Might Be:
- Exhausted by masking and keeping up appearances while running on empty beneath the surface.
- Stuck for the "right" words and frustrated when traditional talking therapy expects you to neatly articulate complex feelings.
- Navigating neurodivergence or finding that standard therapeutic advice has never worked for your mind.
- Experiencing a tiredness sleep doesn't fix and dealing with physical anxiety, deep sensory burnout, or work stress that feels no longer survivable.
- Blocked or self-critical and feeling disconnected from your writing, art, or intuition due to high intensity, pressure, or perfectionism.
How I Work
I offer a warm, neurodiversity-affirming space where you can drop the mask, slow down, and feel genuinely heard. As a Senior BACP Accredited Counsellor, I blend humanistic talking therapy with optional writing and creative arts tools.
When standard talking feels stuck or overwhelming, we use these approaches to bypass the strain of finding "exact" words, letting you process what’s happening underneath at your own pace.
Together, we will:
Unmask safely and build practical self-compassion tailored to your nervous system.
Process deep emotional burnout without pressure, judgment, or rigid agendas.
Make sense of repeating patterns, life transitions, and internal noise.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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
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
Booking the first counselling appointment can be daunting, so I offer a free 15-minute telephone call before we meet, where we can answer any questions you might have about counselling. If you are then happy to book a counselling session, we can arrange a suitable time to meet.
Our first 50-minute session gives us the chance to explore what you’d like to get from counselling and whether we feel we can work together. If we decide to continue, we will meet for 50 minutes at an agreed time each week.
