About me
When you choose to work with me, you will experience me as an invested and dedicated psychotherapist who is committed to supporting you.
There is no "one size fits all" approach when you work with me. I see you for the unique individual that you are and carefully tailor my approach to fit uniquely with your needs.
I offer a calm, focused space to untangle your thoughts, identify your issues and prioritise the changes you want to make.
I have experience working with a wide range of people from all kinds of backgrounds, belief systems and cultures. I am open and accepting of all lifestyles and choices.
Although I work with a wide range of therapeutic issues (e.g. anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma, etc), my main specialism is Neurodivergence
I will help you uncover which elements of your neurodivergence are negatively impacting your life.
Awareness is the first step to understanding your neurodivergence. We will collaborate on different strategies to help you cope.
We will also explore other areas of your life which may trigger your neurodivergent traits, such as, rejection sensitivity, for example.
Understanding your triggers can help a lot with emotional regulation.
Whatever your experience with neurodivergence, your experience will be unique and I will take the time to help you uncover not only the challenges you face but the strengths your ND traits can offer you too.
I also work with neurodivergent couples and families, supporting you to find strategies to create a more harmonious living situation.

Training, qualifications & experience
COSCA Certificate in Supervision
MSc in Pluralistic Counselling: Specialising in ADHD (and Neurodivergence generally).
Additional Training (CPD): EMDR, Rewind Therapy, Young Person Counselling, Journal Therapy and writing for well-being, Dream Therapy, Couples Counselling, Family Systems, and Schema Therapy.
I also have experience working with Vegan Trauma
There are unique traumas that arise from being vegan. These might be a sense of being detached from a world that not only tolerates but normalises cruelty to animals, having to navigate relationships with people who can't understand our compassion for animals, and also to be continually exposed to the vicarious trauma of animal suffering in food and clothing choices of everyone around ourselves with. This trauma can be both chronic and complex.

Other areas of counselling I deal with
I also offer Therapeutic Coaching and accept EAP and Access to Work clients.
Therapeutic Coaching helps you achieve your personal and professional goals. Using tried and tested methods, I will provide gentle accountability, guidance, support, and motivation to help you identify your strengths, overcome obstacles, and achieve a more fulfilling life. My approach is always Neurodivergent affirming.
I will take the time to carefully get a sense of who you are, what your life looks like, and what you want to change. We will examine your self-beliefs, alongside your sense of your own imitations and build up a clear picture of what's going on for you.
We then work on the areas that you need most support in. This will vary greatly from person to person but some examples might be: task paralysis, scheduling, motivation, delineation of space and time, prioritization of tasks, and setting boundaries, as well as emotional regulation techniques for when you feel overwhelmed.
After we identify what needs to change, we will work towards implementing changes that lead you to achieve your goals. I will offer background support at all times in the form of brief phone check-ins, texts, or emails, as you work towards making these changes.
I look forward to working with you.
