About me
Life can feel confusing, overwhelming, or painfully out of sync. Maybe you’ve lost sight of who you are, what you want, or how to move forward. Perhaps you’re carrying anger, sadness, or hurt that you can’t quite name. You might be questioning whether you’re neurodivergent or LGBTQ+, or simply sensing that something in your life needs to change.
You don’t need to have the answers — we can explore them together.
I’m Frankie, a Counsellor and Psychotherapist specialising in supporting neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ adults, as well as anyone navigating anxiety, loss, childhood trauma, or relationship challenges. My work centres on creating a safe, grounded, and compassionate space where you can understand yourself more deeply and reconnect with the parts of you that have been overlooked or silenced.
Therapy with me is collaborative and human. The relationship we build is at the heart of the work, and alongside that connection, I offer practical tools and strategies to help you develop lifelong emotional skills and resilience.
As a queer and neurodivergent therapist, I know how difficult it can be to find genuine understanding — especially in rural Somerset, where exploring identity can feel isolating. My practice is a welcoming space where your experiences are respected, celebrated, and held with care.
You don’t need to be seeking therapy because you’re neurodivergent or LGBTQ+. Many people simply want a therapist who “gets it” — someone who understands the nuances, the masking, the sensory overwhelm, the identity questions, and the quiet relief of being fully seen.
Together, we can make sense of your past, understand your present, and shape a future that feels more aligned and hopeful.
Your privacy and safety are central to my work. As a local authority contractor and a registered member of the BACP, I follow strict professional standards to protect your confidentiality.
If you’re ready to begin this journey, I’m here to walk alongside you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified psychotherapist, counsellor, and Life Story Work practitioner with a strong academic and professional foundation. My training includes a degree in Psychology, an advanced diploma in Psychotherapy, and a Master’s in Counselling and Psychotherapy, where I focused on minority stress and the wellbeing of marginalised communities, including LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent people.
My experience spans private practice and work as a contractor for the local authority, giving me a deep understanding of how to provide safe, ethical, and supportive care across diverse settings.
I also have extensive experience supporting people who are fostered or adopted. I understand the complex layers of identity, belonging, and early experiences that can shape your sense of self when you haven’t grown up with your birth parents.
Alongside my therapeutic work, I’m committed to education and advocacy. I deliver training, workshops, and events on LGBTQ+ inclusion for schools, organisations, and community groups, helping to build understanding and create safer, more affirming environments.
My therapeutic approach is flexible and responsive. I draw from a range of methods — from creative tools like sand tray work to structured CBT techniques and traditional talking therapy. I adapt to what feels most comfortable and effective for you.
At the heart of my practice is the relationship we build together. I believe this connection is the foundation for meaningful change, and I work collaboratively with you to explore your story with care, clarity, and purpose.

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.
