About me
I have worked hard on myself to overcome many struggles through my life, and to reconnect with who I am. I feel these struggles have shaped me into the empathic person I am today.
I am autistic. I am vegan. I am an animal and nature lover. I have far too many pets but I wouldn't be without them. I am happiest when I'm outside in the sunshine or by the sea.
- I have a background of supporting autistic clients and their families but I also work with other neurodivergent clients. I work with a wide range of clients, including those with substance misuse issues.
Please contact me to arrange a free initial chat if you would like to have a better idea of whether we'd work well together.

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.

Further information
In addition to training, I have lived experience of neurodivergence. I often feel that lived experience is an important missing piece in therapy, and as someone who has accessed talking therapies throughout my life, I truly understand what it's like to be a client, and the courage it requires.
I am an LGBTQ+ ally.
I accept client aged 16+.
I prefer to work online but can accommodate in-person counselling for some clients.
