About me
Author of ADHD HACKS: Tools that Help you Thrive and It's All In Your Head - the gaslighting epidemic hiding in plain site. Available on Amazon. I work primarily in an existential manner but also employ a range of techniques, including CBT, EMDR, Mindfulness, FLASH and Brainspotting. Whether you're experiencing anxiety, depression or coping with bereavement, therapy will be tailor-made for your situation. I work with neurotypical and neurodiverse clients struggling with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, self-harm, or bullying.
I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for adults, children, couples and families where we can work on understanding the situation you are in and how to make changes in your life.
I have experience working in various settings including the NHS, schools, hospitals and charities. I have extensive experience working with children over a 16 year period.
Life can be complicated, challenging and messy. I provide a space in which you can say exactly what is going on without judgment knowing you will be unconditionally supported. Together, we can tackle those tricky issues, relationships, and thoughts that may be weighing you down.
If you're ready to start making those changes, why not get in touch for a free 15-minute phone consultation? It’s a no-pressure way to see if we’re a good fit. Don’t wait, let’s begin your journey towards feeling better today. Reach out now!
