About me
I want to help you make sense of your world, especially if it's a neurodivergent world.
I will hold out the proverbial hand to you (as I would have appreciated when I first started therapy), and while I can't do the work for you and I won't tell you what you need (because deep down you know what's best for you), I will be present, interested, and kind.
Sometimes the most intimidating thing about therapy is that YOU are in charge, but no one told you how to do it. I will help you find your way.
Working outdoors at Woodseats Community Garden or online in blocks of three weeks - beginning, middle, end.
If you have a question, a dilemma, or just need some space to verbally (or silently) process something with a trusted, compassionate Other - a single session may be all that you need.
If you have something a bit more complex, a pattern you've been noticing perhaps, questions about yourself, struggling with some aspect of your confidence, or holding your boundaries maybe, then a short course of solution-focused work could be what you need.
Present and future-focused, we will look at WHAT IS and then together find suitable ways to plan, change, or even simply accept.
I have a steady, grounded presence, I wholeheartedly accept you and your story, and I am on your side. Happy to have a chat if you have any questions.
PLEASE NOTE: This approach is suitable for people who have awareness of their traumas, triggers and limits. This approach is not suitable for processing trauma.
My modality is humanistic, I have a person-centred core, an integrative philosophy, and an autistic brain. There's a bit of ADHD, quite queer, extrovertedly introvert (I'm a people person that needs alone time to recover), and I am most at peace in the hills with trees.
Kink-friendly and sex positive.
I offer a free, no-obligation 15-minute telephone consultation to allow you to get a sense of what you can expect from working with me and ask any questions you have. I welcome email correspondence also.

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.
