About me
You don’t have to have everything figured out before coming to therapy.
You may be feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed or stuck. You might be carrying the impact of difficult experiences, trying to understand yourself as a neurodivergent person, or simply feeling exhausted from holding everything together for everyone else.
I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma and neurodivergence, including autistic and ADHD adults. I offer a warm, compassionate and non-judgemental space where you can begin to explore what is happening for you without pressure to have the right words or know exactly where to begin.
My approach is integrative, person-centred, trauma-informed and neurodivergent-affirming. This means our work is shaped around you as an individual rather than trying to fit you into a particular way of doing therapy.
We can take time to understand patterns, explore emotions and experiences, and make sense of the ways you have learned to cope. Sometimes therapy may involve talking things through; at other times it may be about slowing down, noticing what is happening beneath the surface, and allowing space for feelings that may have been difficult to acknowledge.
There is no expectation to share anything before you feel ready. We will work at a pace that feels manageable for you, with compassion, honesty and respect at the centre of our relationship.
Before becoming a counsellor, I spent many years working within education, mental health and support services. Alongside my private practice, I currently work within a university Disability and Neurodiversity service, supporting students with a range of mental health and neurodivergence-related needs.
If you choose to work with me, therapy becomes your space: somewhere you can feel heard, explore what matters to you, and begin making sense of whatever you may be carrying.
