About me
Choosing the right therapist shouldn't feel daunting, and you don’t need to arrive with a script or a neat list of symptoms.
I offer down-to-earth therapy for adults and young people navigating anxiety, stress, low mood, and burnout, with specialist experience in neurodiversity (ADHD & Autism) and early trauma.
Many of the people I work with have spent years feeling "too sensitive," exhausted from trying to fit in, or feeling like they were given the wrong instruction manual for life. Whether you are unravelling a late diagnosis, quietly questioning if your brain just works differently, navigating the sudden brain fog of menopause, or carrying the weight of early family dynamics, you don't have to carry it on your own.
You are not broken, and you are not lazy. You are simply managing an overloaded nervous system in a world that wasn't built for how you operate.
I blend the practical tools of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with the warmth and safety of Person-Centred counselling. Together, we explore what’s keeping you stuck and develop practical, personalised strategies that make daily life feel more manageable and hopeful.
Specific areas we can focus on:
Teens & Young Adults: Managing school, college and university pressures, executive function overwhelm, ''adulting'' and the exhaustion of trying to fit in.
Neurodiversity & Exploring Your Mind: Safe, validating support whether you have a formal diagnosis of autism or ADHD, a late identification, or simply questioning and exploring how your unique brain works.
Upbringing: Family Dynamics & Early Trauma: Gentle, grounded support for care-experienced adults, difficult family or sibling relationships, or growing up in environments where you never felt truly safe to be yourself.
Women's Hormonal Health & Mid-Life: Compassionate space for navigating perimenopause and menopause brain fog, sudden anxiety spikes, and hormonal burnout.
Nervous System & Burnout Recovery: Understand your body's fight/flight/freeze responses to recover from sensory overwhelm and guilt-free boundaries at home and work.
How we can work together:
In-Person Clinic: A quiet, private consulting room in Wolston (CV8), just 10–15 minutes from Coventry, Rugby, Kenilworth, and Leamington, with easy access and free parking.
Online-UK: Secure video sessions from the comfort of your own home via Google Meet.
Home Visits: Available within a 6-mile radius of Rugby (and beyond with mileage at £0.55 a mile) for clients whose anxiety or mobility makes attending a clinic difficult.
Approved healthcare provider for Aviva, VitalityHealth, Allianz, and Sparta Health.
Trainee counsellor and low-income concessions available.
You are warmly invited to get in touch or arrange an informal, free 15-minute phone chat to say hello and see how it feels to work together.

Further information
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, so I focus on making the first step as easy as possible. The work we do will always be client-led, whether you are seeking short-term support for coping skills or longer-term exploration of deep-seated patterns related to trauma or attachment.

I also have a dedicated, private consultation room providing a comfortable and confidential setting for your sessions. Designed to be a calm, quiet space in Wolston based between Coventry and Rugby. I offer flexible scheduling, including limited evening availability, to accommodate busy family life.
