About me
Life can throw us unexpected challenges that sometimes we find too much to process it and work through it on our own. I offer a kind, non judgemental space to explore the things in therapy. . I welcome working with all clients, though I specialise in working with anxiety, autism and ADHD. I am a therapist with a diagnosis of autism and ADHD.
I am an integrative therapist. Which means I can draw on several therapeutic approaches to best help you on your therapeutic journey. This also includes creative therapies that sometimes may feel more comfortable than talking. This includes drawing, writing and using objects to depict stories and emotions. I also offer walk and talk therapy in the local area.
I can be flexible with session times and work evenings. If you have any questions at all please send me a message or and email and I will get back to you within a day. I look forward to hearing from you.
I also specialise in supporting people that have been harmed in therapy:
It takes immense courage to speak about harm experienced in therapy. Thank you for reaching out to me for support.
When a therapist causes harm, it creates a profound breach of trust in a relationship that is meant to be fundamentally safe and supportive. This experience can leave you with an overwhelming range of emaotions that are difficult to process alone. It often leaves people feeling isolated and unable to trust others.
I am here to help you navigate these complex emotions, regulate your nervous system, and reclaim your autonomy. As an Integrative psychotherapist, I have personally experienced harm in therapy. Because of this, I have spent the last five years researching therapy- induced harm while actively supporting other survivors.
What happened to you is not okay, and I am deeply sorry you experienced this. I offer both short-term and long- term therapy sessions t support you at your own pace as you work through your experience.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have a Masters in Counselling from the University of Northampton.
I completed my placement working with clients on the Autism spectrum and also with clients with ADHD. I am a person with a diagnosis of Autism and ADHD. Though just because I have the training and experience, you are the expert in your life and how you feel. We all experience our neurodiversity differently. I would really like to get to know about you and how you experience the world.
I am a registered member of the BACP (Registration number 404607). I have a full enhanced DBS, ICO (ZB617154) membership and I am fully insured.
I am currently studying a PhD in Psychology at the University of Worcester. My research focuses on erotic transference and countertransference in the therapeutic relationship.
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
I also welcome working with clients that have previously been harmed in therapy and would like a space to explore their experience that they may have felt previously unable to discuss.
This is a sensitive topic that is not often discussed. Through my experiences and training I can offer a non judgemental and supportive space.

Additional information
Each session lasts for 60 minutes. Though if you would like shorter or longer sessions then please let me know and this can be something we arrange.
I can support in one off sessions or short term therapy (6-8 sessions) or long term sessions. I offer regular reviews in therapy, every 6 sessions to check in and see how you think therapy is going. I always welcome feedback. The purpose of our therapy is to explore your challenges at your pace.
I offer a 15 minute online consultation in order for you to ask any questions and to see if you would like to work with me.
I have a 24 hour cancellation policy. If you cancel 24 hours prior to the session the cost of the session will be moved to the following session. If the session is cancelled within the 24 hours the cost of the session is still payable unless there are exceptional circumstances.

Further information
My therapy room is in a period building in the heart of Rugby. I am on the first floor of the building and I can adjust the light and temperature to ensure that you feel as comfortable as possible.
I have lots of fidget toys and offer water and hopefully a welcoming space. You are more than welcome to bring whatever would make you feel more comfortable too. I often have my favourite soft toy and fidget cube.
If you have any questions at all please let me know.
