About me
Many of the people I work with come to therapy feeling exhausted from masking, questioning themselves, and wondering why life seems harder for them than it appears to be for others. You might feel as though you don’t quite fit anywhere, that you’re “too much” or somehow behind, or that you’ve spent years trying to adapt to a world that wasn’t designed with you in mind.
I specialise in working with neurodivergent adults, including those who are autistic, ADHD or AuDHD whether diagnosed, self-identified, or exploring what neurodivergence might mean for them. I also work with neurodivergent parents, particularly those navigating burnout, identity shifts, work stress, or the emotional impact of supporting neurodivergent children alongside their own needs.
Clients often tell me that they feel understood in a way they haven’t experienced in previous therapy, and that sessions with me feel like a space where they can begin to unmask safely. My approach is grounded in the belief that you are not broken your responses make sense in the context of your experiences, nervous system, and environment.
I work in a warm, calm and collaborative way, adapting to each individual rather than using a one-size-fits-all model. I listen carefully and without judgement, helping you make sense of your experiences at your own pace. Some clients want space to reflect and explore; others value gentle structure or practical support we can work together to find what feels right for you.
Alongside my integrative counselling training, I hold an MSc in Autism and Neurodiversity and regularly undertake specialist CPD. My practice is neurodiversity-affirming and informed by both professional training and lived experience, while always working within the BACP Ethical Framework.
If you are unsure whether therapy is right for you, or if you have had mixed experiences in the past, I offer an initial conversation (30–60 minutes). This is a chance for you to get a sense of me, ask questions, and see how it feels to talk together with no pressure to commit.
Reaching out for support can take a great deal of courage. I recognise what a big step it can be, and I aim to make that first contact feel as safe, respectful and human as possible.

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.
