About me
You are neurodivergent or think you are, and often find yourself people-pleasing, struggling with intrusive thoughts and persistent negative thinking. You may feel overwhelmed, self-critical, or disconnected from your own needs after years of adapting to others’ expectations. You are seeking understanding, relief from distress, and practical tools to build boundaries, trust yourself, and develop a more compassionate relationship with your thoughts and emotions.
These are the main issues I can help you with, what a typical treatment plan may involve, and the benefits you can expect. I specialise in working with neurodivergent individuals and, as someone who is neurodivergent myself, I bring both professional training and lived understanding. Many clients seek support for anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts, and OCD. Therapy focuses on understanding your experiences, reducing distress, and developing practical, sustainable strategies that support emotional regulation, self-compassion, and long-term well-being.
I love what I do and find it extremely gratifying to work with young adults, as I learn so much from them. I don’t believe therapy is magic, but it is powerful and somewhat magical when I see my clients becoming more confident and compassionate towards themselves in the sessions and slowly seeing the changes they were looking for when they began therapy. (Therapy works, I have seen it working.)
As I mentioned, I am neurodivergent. This means that if you identify as neurodivergent as well, we will likely connect on a deeper level, as I have noticed this positive dynamic with many of my past and present clients.
Things to know about me: Others experience me as quirky or peculiar, and I am funny (I was also told I have an accent). I am easy to talk with, and I don’t judge. Ah! I am not the greatest with numbers because of my dyscalculia, but I get there eventually.
If you resonate with any of these challenges, I would love to work with you. Together, we can explore your experiences and work towards finding the relief and understanding you deserve.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.

Further information
People often ask me how my sessions look like and if I verbalise my thoughts in the sessions or just sit in silence nodding , if you are wondering this as well the answer is : Yes! I will be honest, reflective, open and curious in our work.
As I am a creative person In my sessions we can use a range of techniques such as: grounding, mindfulness, breathing exercises, psychoeducation, solution focus exercises (CBT), with my younger clients we can play games, do some role play, drawing, crafts, use blobs/ feelings cards, videos or music; etc as long as you are comfortable to use them, as the base of my work is client -centred - I strongly believe that You know what is best for you even if right now you do not feel that you do.
