About me
I am a Masters qualified therapist working with couples, including where one or both are neurodivergent, and individuals. I work integratively, tailoring therapy to suit each client's unique needs and experiences.
Are you feeling stuck in patterns that don’t seem to change, either in your relationship or within yourself?
You might be feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure how to move forward. Perhaps you’re struggling in your relationship, having the same arguments, finding it difficult to communicate, or feeling increasingly disconnected from each other. Maybe you still care deeply about one another, but have started to feel more like housemates than partners, and you’re not quite sure how to find your way back to each other.
Or maybe things feel difficult personally. You might be struggling with anxiety, low mood, stress, self-esteem, relationships or a change in your life, and finding it hard to make sense of what you’re feeling.
If neurodivergence is part of the picture, you may also be trying to understand yourself or each other in a different way. Differences in communication, sensory needs, emotions and the way you experience the world can sometimes leave you feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood or out of sync.
Whatever has brought you here, therapy can give you a space to slow things down, make sense of what’s happening and work out what you want to be different.
How I Can Help
I work with both couples and individuals, offering a warm and collaborative space where we can make sense of what’s going on and find ways forward.
With couples, we’ll look at the patterns you can get caught in, how you communicate and what you each need from the relationship. The aim is to help you understand each other better, reduce conflict and feel more connected.
When working individually, we can explore what you’re experiencing, how it’s affecting your relationships and everyday life, and what might help you feel more like yourself again.
Types of Problems I Work With
- Relationship difficulties, conflict and communication problems
- Feeling disconnected from your partner
- Trust, intimacy and differing needs
- Anxiety, depression and stress
- Low self-esteem and confidence
- Grief and loss
- Life changes and feeling overwhelmed
- Difficulties understanding yourself or your relationships
I also have particular experience working with autistic and ADHD individuals and couples. This can include differences in communication, sensory overwhelm, rejection sensitivity, emotional responses and feeling out of step with the people around you.
What to Expect
I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation so we can talk about what’s bringing you to therapy, answer any questions and see if we’re a good fit.
If it feels right, we can arrange a first session and take things from there, at your pace.
Sessions are available online, in person or a mixture of both, with daytime and evening appointments.
Once I receive your enquiry, I’ll aim to respond within one working day. If you’ve asked me to email you, please check your junk folder too.
Post-Diagnostic Support Programme
A diagnosis can bring relief and understanding, but it can also leave you wondering, “So what does this actually mean for me?”
I offer a structured six-session programme for autistic, ADHD and AuDHD adults and young people aged 13–18. We’ll explore your diagnosis, make sense of your experiences and look at practical ways to navigate everyday life, relationships and identity.
The full programme is £250. If you’re interested, just mention this when you get in touch.
Next Steps
You don’t need to know exactly what you need from therapy before you contact me. If something here feels familiar, get in touch. We can start with a conversation and take it from there, at your pace.

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.
