About me
Perhaps you are autistic, ADHD, AuDHD, or wondering whether neurodivergence could explain parts of your experience. Beginning therapy can feel like a big step, and it's natural to feel unsure at first. You may look as though you are coping, while privately feeling exhausted by the effort it takes to keep up.
You might spend a great deal of energy masking, editing yourself or replaying conversations afterwards. You may hold it together through the day and then have nothing left. For some people, this comes with shame around unfinished tasks, ADHD procrastination, intense emotions or the feeling that everyone else finds life easier. For others, it shows up in relationships, loneliness, low mood, shutdown, sensory overwhelm or burnout.
You do not need a diagnosis, a perfect explanation or a plan before getting in touch. Whatever you choose to bring, nothing is too big or too small for us to navigate together. We can begin with what feels most important to you.
I have autism and ADHD myself. My own lived experience informs my understanding, but each person's experience of neurodivergence is different. I aim to offer a space where you do not need to explain the basics of ADHD, autism or masking before we can begin.
I work integratively and largely from a person-centred approach. This means that we follow your priorities and pace rather than a fixed programme. Depending on what is helpful, I may draw on Internal Family Systems-informed ideas, mindfulness, and Matrix Reimprinting to process difficult or traumatic memories that can sit underneath present-day patterns.
I work online with adults throughout the UK, and I have particular experience of working with men aged 18–30.
Areas I can support you with
ADHD and autism; ADHD masking and autistic burnout; sensory overwhelm; emotional regulation; shame and self-esteem; ADHD procrastination and overwhelm; anxiety and low mood; identity; relationships, dating and intimacy; family difficulties; loneliness; grief and loss; anger, shutdown and trauma.
How sessions work
Sessions are online and available to adults across the UK. They last 50 minutes and cost £55.
I offer a free 30-minute introductory call: a chance to ask any questions, get a feel for how I work, and see whether it feels like a good fit.
Please feel free to get in touch if you would like to ask a question or see whether working together feels right for you. Seeking support is an empowering and courageous step, and I would be honoured to walk alongside you.

Member organisations
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
Therapy sessions generally take place on the same day and time each week and last 50 minutes. I typically provide open-ended therapy, but it is possible to work in a more focused way with a shorter block of sessions.
I work with adults over the age of 18.
