About me
Neurodivergent Counselling and Coaching for ADHD, Autism and AuDHD
Helping you understand how you work and find ways of living that actually fit you.
It can feel as though the world wants you to be a different version of yourself to fit in. You might be overwhelmed, exhausted, or moving between stress, fatigue and burnout. Things that used to work aren't working anymore, and day-to-day life feels harder than it should.
I work with adults and young people, including those who are ADHD, autistic or living with the push and pull of AuDHD,. You might be exploring neurodivergence, waiting for an assessment, or trying to make sense of a diagnosis and what it means for your life. Many people I work with have spent years masking or trying to fit into environments that weren't built for them.
I help you understand how you work; what drains you, what helps, and what gets in the way. Alongside making sense of your experiences, we find practical approaches that actually fit your brain and your life, whether that's around overwhelm, burnout, sensory needs, or navigating school, work or relationships.
This is a space where your neurodivergence is understood and welcomed, not something to be fixed or worked around. You don't need a diagnosis to work with me. If something resonates, that's enough.
How I Work
I work in a person-centred, neuroaffirming and trauma-informed way. I offer a mix of counselling and coaching, tailored to what you need.
Some sessions may be more reflective; exploring your experiences, making sense of how they've shaped you, and building self-compassion. Others may lean more towards practical strategies and workarounds that help you navigate daily life. The balance shifts depending on what you're working through, and we check in regularly to make sure it's working for you.
Who I Work With
I work on a one-to-one basis with adults and young people from the age of 11. I offer face-to-face sessions in Olney, as well as online and telephone counselling, with daytime and evening appointments available.
I am based in Olney, Buckinghamshire, with easy access from Northampton, Bedford and Milton Keynes.
Getting in Touch
I offer a free 30-minute initial session so that we can talk about how things are and see whether working together feels right for you. There is no obligation to have any further sessions.
If you'd like to arrange a session or have any questions, you're welcome to get in touch by phone, text or email.
My current availability is: Thursday mornings at 9:00 weekly or fortnightly and Friday mornings at 11:30 fortnightly.

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.
