About me
Maybe you’re not “too much”. Maybe you’ve just spent too long trying to fit.
You might be exhausted from overthinking, masking, people-pleasing or trying to hold everything together. Perhaps you’re navigating ADHD or autism, anxiety is taking over, or experiences from your past are still showing up in your life today.
I offer counselling that is warm, real and human. No clinical façade. No expectation that you’ll arrive with the right words. And definitely no need to mask.
I work with adults and young people, specialising in neurodiversity, anxiety, trauma and bereavement. I was also diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, so I understand personally how powerful — and confusing — it can be to suddenly see yourself and your past through a completely different lens.
You might come to me because you:
Feel overwhelmed by your thoughts or emotions
Are exhausted from masking or trying to keep up
Struggle with anxiety, burnout or self-esteem
Feel different but can’t quite explain why
Are carrying grief, trauma or experiences you haven’t fully processed
Want to understand yourself rather than constantly battle yourself
Therapy with me isn’t about sitting in a room analysing everything that’s “wrong” with you.
It’s about getting curious about you.
Understanding the patterns. Joining the dots. Making sense of why you feel, think and respond the way you do — and finding ways forward that actually work for your brain and your life.
No judgement. No pressure. No need to mask. Just room to be you.
In-person and online sessions are available, and we can start with a brief introductory call to see if I feel like the right counsellor for you.

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.
Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
These areas are not exclusive to how I can support you.
You may feel like that swan, looking like you have it all together, but under the surface, desperately trying to keep afloat. This overwhelm can feel all-consuming, affecting other areas of your life.
A trauma or bereavement may have taken you off your feet, and a non-judgemental space would enable you to explore all of your feelings.
Relationships can be complex, family, marriage, friendships, and a space to understand these difficulties can aid healing.

Further information
Previous roles have included working with young people who are finding life difficult, especially in school, and are at risk of exclusion or permanent exclusion.
This enabled me to support those struggling with their behaviour and to understand and unpick the factors which lay beneath influencing and impacting on daily life.
Complex family background, vulnerabilities, and inability to fit the system all play a part.
The key was to see the person and not the behaviour.
