About me
Thank you for taking the time to visit my profile.
How I can help
I offer collaborative, goal-oriented counselling. My approach is particularly helpful if you are:
- Struggling with low self-esteem or noticing patterns of people-pleasing
- Feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or just exhausted by ‘doing life’
- Finding it hard to feel present, grounded, and recognise the small joys
- Adjusting to living with chronic illness and pain
- Experiencing challenges in romantic, dating, or family relationships
- Noticing that your emotional experiences are showing up in your body, such as jaw and shoulder tension or stomach issues
I believe there is no "one size fits all" approach to therapy; we are all layered and multi-faceted, so counselling needs to be too. My integrative background allows me to be flexible depending on your needs, and the approach we take can also change over time. I also bring an appreciation for the mind-body connection into my work.
Working with ADHD and autism
I am also a neurodivergent-affirming counsellor specialising in working with ADHD and autistic adults, including those adjusting to a late diagnosis or exploring self-identification without a formal diagnosis.
I offer a non-judgmental space to help you:
- Develop a toolkit that works with your brain to manage your energy and reduce daily overwhelm
- Recover from burnout and learn to recognise masking
- Encourage self-understanding and self-acceptance
-
Explore how neurodivergence intersects with life challenges and anxiety
There is no pressure to sit still, make eye contact, or respond 'quickly' in sessions with me. You are invited to do whatever you need to feel comfortable in our space.

Next steps
Finding the right counsellor is deeply personal. I offer a free 15-minute phone call so we can chat through what you're looking for and see if working together feels like the right fit.
Please feel free to get in touch via email with any questions or to book in an introductory call.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a master’s degree in counselling and an undergraduate degree in psychology.
I have additionally completed further training and learning in the following areas:
- Somatic-informed counselling (in progress)
- Internal Family Systems and parts work
- Understanding ADHD and ASD
- Video/phone call counselling
- Self-harm
- Suicide risk assessment and safety planning

I've been practicing as a counsellor for over 6 years. During this time, I've worked for the NHS, charities, and an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP). I have also supported and managed other counselling staff as part of some of these roles. I have also been working in my private counselling practice since 2020.
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.
