About me
I'm a COSCA accredited psychotherapist (MSc), clinical supervisor and therapeutic coach, and I bring both thorough training and lived experience of neurodivergence to my work. When you work with me, you get a therapist who is fully present, actively curious, and committed to finding what actually helps you. Therapy with me is collaborative: we draw on a wide range of approaches, including person-centred, EMDR, IFS, somatic and narrative work, and shape them around how you think, feel and process the world.
My specialism is neurodivergence. If you're neurodivergent, or wondering whether you might be, you may have spent years adapting, masking and pushing through a world designed around neurotypical minds. Together we can explore where those expectations create friction in your life and build ways of navigating them that let you remain fully yourself. We might work on rejection sensitivity, burnout, emotional regulation, or the exhausting pressure to mask. You set the pace, decide what matters, or allow me to offer guidance and direction if that feels safer.
I offer neurodivergent-adapted EMDR for trauma, and I write regularly about ways to support neurodivergent clients. I also work with neurodivergent couples and families, helping you understand each other's needs and build a shared life that works for everyone in it.
Beyond neurodivergence, I work with anxiety, depression, trauma and low self-esteem, always with the same commitment to seeing you clearly and working with who you actually are.
I welcome people of all backgrounds, cultures, faiths, genders, sexualities and relationship structures. Visit fifecounselling.com to find out more, or get in touch to arrange a first session.

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.
