About me

I work with adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck in unhelpful patterns, or struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties.

My main areas of interest are attachment, neurodivergence (including ADHD and autism), and supporting women around parenting, identity, and emotional overwhelm.

These experiences often impact relationships, self-worth and how we cope in daily life.

I work as an integrative counsellor, which means I draw on different therapeutic approaches and tailor the way I work to each individual. I do not use a one-size-fits-all approach, and we will work at a pace that feels safe and manageable for you.

My main areas of interest are attachment, neurodivergence (including ADHD and autism), and supporting women, particularly around parenting, identity, overwhelm, and the pressures of balancing multiple roles. I am especially interested in how attachment experiences and neurodivergence can shape self-worth, relationships and coping strategies in adulthood.

I place strong emphasis on the therapeutic relationship, believing that feeling safe, heard, and genuinely understood is central to meaningful and lasting change.

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.
