About me
Perhaps you have become very good at adapting to other people, to expectations, to work, to relationships, while quietly wondering where you fit within it all. You may be feeling exhausted, anxious or overwhelmed, or beginning to question whether there is another way of understanding yourself. For some people, this questioning leads towards self exploring and it opens up a deeper exploration of identity, past experiences and what they need to feel more like themselves.
Whatever has brought you to therapy, I offer a warm, compassionate and non-judgemental space where you can feel genuinely heard and understood. I believe that with the right support, we can develop greater self-awareness, self-acceptance and a stronger sense of who we are.
I am a qualified member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). My practice is pluralistic and humanistic, drawing primarily on person-centred counselling. This means that our work together is guided by you, at your pace, and shaped around what feels most helpful for you. I will walk alongside you as we explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences, both past and present.
Neurodiversity
I have particular experience supporting people to explore and understand their neurodiversity. This includes supporting clients who are questioning whether they have ADHD or Autism or AuDHD, during the assessment process, and following a diagnosis.
For some people, receiving a diagnosis can bring relief and a sense of understanding, while also raising new questions about identity, relationships, past experiences and how they have understood themselves. Therapy can provide a space to explore these experiences, develop self-awareness and self-acceptance, and make sense of your life from a new perspective.
Previous to my therapy work, I have experience coaching neurodivergent young people aged 16–24, supporting them to build confidence, develop self-awareness and develop practical strategies for personal growth.
What I Can Help With
I also support people experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, overwhelm, low self-esteem, workplace stress and burnout, family difficulties, relationship breakdown, bereavement, long-term illness and periods of uncertainty or change.
I have experience supporting people affected by abuse, addiction and trauma, domestic violence, including experiences rooted in childhood and adulthood. I offer a safe and sensitive space to explore difficult experiences and their impact at a pace that feels manageable for you.
Identity, Culture & Intersectionality
I bring an awareness of difference and intersectionality to my practice and am committed to offering inclusive, culturally sensitive and affirming support.
I have experience working with people exploring identity, gender and sexuality, including LGBTQIA+ clients.
I have also worked with people affected by racist trauma, forced marriage, cultural identity and diaspora experiences, and the intergenerational impact of immigration.
I recognise that our experiences are shaped by the different aspects of who we are, including our gender, sexuality, neurodiversity, ethnicity, culture, relationships and life experiences. At times, navigating these different parts of ourselves can bring questions about belonging, identity and where we fit.
I offer a space where you can explore these experiences openly and without judgement, whether you are questioning, developing a greater understanding of yourself, navigating changes in identity, or simply wanting to feel more comfortable and authentic in who you are.
How I Work
At the heart of my work is the therapeutic relationship, built on trust, empathy and authenticity. I believe you are the expert in your own experience, and I will work collaboratively with you to understand what you need from therapy.
Whether you are looking for open ended reflection and exploration or a more focused, goal-oriented approach, we can shape our sessions around your needs. Where appropriate, I can also integrate coaching techniques to support practical and meaningful change.
We will regularly review our work together to make sure that therapy continues to feel supportive, relevant and meaningful to you.
Alongside my private practice, I offer consultancy work within medical settings, providing therapeutic support for clinical staff. This has given me insight into the emotional pressures, stress and potential for burnout that can accompany caring roles, and I offer a space to pause, reflect and process these experiences with compassion.
Taking the First Step
Reaching out for support can feel daunting, but it can also be a courageous first step towards greater understanding and self-compassion.
I offer a free, no obligation 30 minute telephone consultation. This gives us an opportunity to talk about what has brought you to therapy, what you are hoping for, and whether we might be a good fit.
I offer face to face sessions in Redruth and Falmouth, as well as online therapy across the country.
I aim to respond to all enquiries within 24 hours. Please check your junk or spam folder if you do not see a reply.
You are warmly invited to get in touch by email or phone to take that first step towards the support you seek.
Training, qualifications & experience
My therapeutic experience includes working within 2 counselling agencies. One was for therapeutic support for survivors of domestic abuse and the other, a mental health talking therapy centre. I also worked in a mental health team within the NHS, prior to establishing my private practice. Within my practice, I support individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, workplace stress, family difficulties, long-term illness, bereavement, relationship breakdowns, and times of uncertainty or questioning direction in life.
I have worked with clients affected by domestic abuse, addiction, family difficulties, and other forms of trauma both in childhood and also as adults, offering a safe and sensitive space to explore and process these experiences at their own pace.
In addition, I have experience coaching neurodivergent young people (ages 16–24), supporting them to build confidence, develop self-awareness, and cultivate practical strategies for personal growth.
I have worked with clients affected by racist trauma, forced marriage, cultural identity and diaspora issues, and the intergenerational impact of immigration. I bring a culturally sensitive, trauma-informed approach to all my work, with a commitment to helping clients feel seen, understood, and empowered.

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.
