About me
I'm a neuro-affirming therapist specialising in self-esteem and self-worth
When a lack of self-esteem rules your life, it can feel like you are imprisoned by your own thoughts. You might constantly worry about your appearance, replay conversations in your head, or struggle with relentless overthinking.
Masking your traits to fit into a neurotypical world only adds to this burden, draining your energy daily.
With a professional background in crisis recovery, I understand how unhealthy coping mechanisms and chronic masking lead to severe burnout or a breaking point. You do not have to navigate this alone.
Together, we will work in a safe, neuro-divergent friendly space to:
* Tell your story openly without judgment.
* Unpack the toll of masking and find your authentic self.
* Understand your strengths and unique traits.
* Overcome burnout by building healthy boundaries.
* Make peace with your life and regain control.
How I work
* Calm, steady and collaborative
* Trauma‑informed and relational
* Clear explanations to help you understand what’s happening internally
* Space to slow down, reflect and make sense of your experiences
* Practical tools to help you feel more grounded and in control
What to expect in your first session
Your first session is a gentle introduction to working together. You are welcome to keep your camera off, move around, use fidgets, or adjust the lighting if that helps you feel comfortable. There is no expectation to sit still or make eye contact.
You will have plenty of time to think, pause, or come back to a point later : we move at your processing pace. If shifting between topics feels easier, we can work that way; if structure helps, I can offer a clear agenda. The session is your space, shaped around your needs.

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.
