About me

I specialise in providing neuro-affirming, person-centred support tailored to autistic individuals, as well as anyone looking for a collaborative space to figure things out. Because I practice a non-directive approach, I believe that you know yourself best. Together, we will work at your pace to support your self-understanding.


I offer face-to-face sessions from Stories Therapy in Bromborough, Wirral. I also provide online sessions, making my practice fully accessible to clients living anywhere in the UK.

Training, qualifications & experience

Since 2021, I have offered a safe, accessible space for individuals of all ages. As a Master’s-level psychotherapist specialising in contemporary approaches, my practice is deeply rooted in person-centred care. This means you lead the way, and we work entirely at your pace.

Support tailored to your needs, no diagnosis required.
I hold a Postgraduate Certificate in Specialist Clinical Practice with autistic and learning disabled children and young people, alongside years of experience of supporting neurodivergent people of all ages.  I am passionate about providing care that accepts and celebrates who you are. Therapy should fit you, not the other way around. If you need any adjustments to make your sessions feel more comfortable—like changes to lighting, communication style, or breaks—we can easily put those in place.


Creative ways to express yourself
Alongside traditional talking therapy, I am trained in creative methods. Sometimes it's hard to put your feelings into words, so I can offer creative tools in my practice. If it helps you process your thoughts, we can use drawing, creative activities, or even board games. These options are completely up to you. I might suggest them if they seem helpful, but you always decide what you are comfortable with.

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.

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.

Finding the right therapy can feel overwhelming with so many different styles and confusing options out there. That is why I offer a free, no-pressure chat (up to 60 minutes). Together, we can talk about the support you need, and I will help break down the different types of therapy so you can find the perfect fit for you.
