About me
I am a neurodivergent therapist (ADHD) and offer neuro-affirming individual therapy based on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). I specialise in supporting neurodivergent adults (17+), parents, and families. I offer sessions online (video) and in person (Wokingham).
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist and an accredited member of the BABCP. I also hold degrees in Psychology and Business Administration, which gave me a broad foundation before moving into clinical training.
I worked in NHS mental health services for 7 years, supporting adults experiencing varying difficulties and life experiences. I have also delivered training to colleagues on perinatal mental health, suicidal thoughts, and self-harm, from a place of compassionate person-centred care.
Prior to my therapy training, I worked with NHS England and the Royal College of Psychiatrists as a lived experience advisor on perinatal mental health standards and guidance.
I primarily work with adults (17+) seeking support with anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, low self-esteem, and perimenopause.
In the last couple of years, my focus has developed in supporting neurodivergent adults. I often support late-diagnosed women, non-binary, and transgender adults with ADHD.
While I primarily draw from CBT, I am a neuro-affirming therapist and often integrate acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), strengths-based, and trauma-informed approaches.

BABCP also provides accreditation for CBT therapists. BABCP accredited members adhere to the Standards of Conduct, Performance and Ethics in the Practice of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies, and are willing to be scrutinised in this adherence as required.
