About me
Choosing a therapist can be challenging with so many profiles to look through. That’s why your first 60-minute introduction session with me is free, so you can get a feel for working with me, with no pressure to continue.
I believe cost shouldn't get in the way of finding the right support. I have low-cost sessions available starting at £35 for 60 minutes. Just ask - no explanation or means-testing needed.
Please include your phone number when emailing, as my replies can sometimes land in spam.
Does this sound familiar?
You might find yourself:
• Exhausted from adapting or trying to meet expectations that don’t feel right for you.
• Overthinking conversations, imagining what could go wrong or replaying things afterwards.
• Overwhelmed by everyday demands.
• Swinging between procrastination, urgency and pushing yourself too hard.
You may be longing to feel more at ease in yourself, trust your own judgement and find a way of living that respects your needs.
What you can expect from me
I bring lived experience of anxiety and neurodivergence, alongside specialist training in neurodivergent-affirming practice.
Starting therapy can feel daunting. You only share what feels comfortable, and we work at your pace. There is no pressure to talk about anything before you’re ready.
If you’re ADHD, autistic or both
The aim isn’t to make you better at fitting in. Together, we can explore:
• How your mind works.
• What supports you and what drains or overwhelms you.
• Ways to navigate life without constantly pushing against yourself.
My approach
I work in a compassionate, person-centred and integrative way, tailoring therapy to your needs.
My training includes psychodynamic, cognitive behavioural (CBT) and humanistic approaches. I draw on these in ways that suit you.
My style is warm, grounded and gently direct. I may offer reflection, practical ideas or gentle challenge where helpful, always working at your pace.
Space to be yourself
• Eye contact is never required.
• You are welcome to move, fidget or stim.
• There is room for processing time and sensory needs.
• We can work with overwhelm, executive functioning and difficulty knowing where to start.
Working with anxiety
Together, we can explore:
• Your thoughts, feelings and patterns.
• What's happening in your body when anxiety takes hold and what works to ground yourself
• Your sensory needs and capacity in the moment.
• What helps you feel safer, steadier and more able to choose how you respond.
Understanding your experiences
We can explore masking, burnout, self-criticism, people-pleasing and perfectionism, including how ADHD or autism may shape your experiences. We can also work on understanding and communicating your needs in relationships, work and everyday life.
Therapy isn’t about making you fit expectations that don’t work for you. It’s about understanding yourself, recognising what you need and finding ways of living that feel more manageable and authentically yours.
Spiritually affirming therapy
I also offer a welcoming space for spiritually minded people where your beliefs and experiences are understood and respected.
You might describe yourself as:
• Spiritual
• Witchy
• Intuitive
• Spiritually curious
You don’t need to follow a particular path or have an active spiritual practice. This is just to let you know, this part of you is welcome here.
Including spirituality in therapy is always your choice, guided by your beliefs, boundaries and what feels helpful to you.

Further information
You’re welcome to book a free 20-minute consultation before deciding whether you’d like to begin therapy. This gives us a chance to meet, talk a little about what you’re looking for and see how it feels to speak together.
You can also book a full one-hour initial counselling session if you’d prefer more time. There is no commitment to continue afterwards. Sometimes it takes a little while to get a sense of whether a therapist feels like the right fit, and you’re completely free to take some time, think about it and decide what feels right for you.
