About me
Welcome,
Life can feel overwhelming, and you may find yourself struggling with anxiety, low mood, recurring behaviours, anger, relationships, loss of self or others, or a sense of being stuck.
Counselling and Coaching provide a safe, confidential space to explore what’s happening and begin to regain clarity. I work with adolescents and adults, helping you understand your emotions, behaviours and the barriers that make life harder.
My integrative humanistic approach blends counselling with practical coaching tools, helping you build self‑awareness, make clearer choices and move toward a more fulfilling life.
Areas I Work With
Anxiety and Depression
Stress, Burnout, Overwhelm
Self-esteem and confidence
Life transitions and identity
Relationships and family challenges
Bereavement and loss
Workplace stress and career challenges
Long-term illness and disability
Neurodiversity (ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia), including late diagnosis support. Support for adults adjusting to a late diagnosis, exploring identity, understanding past challenges, and developing strengths-based strategies for work and life.
Starting therapy can feel daunting.
Sitting in a room with someone independent and opening up about your thoughts and feelings may be entirely new for you. You might even surprise yourself by how much you share, and that’s okay. You don’t have to keep carrying everything on your own.
Please reach out, and we can find a way forward together.
Take the first step, before life gets in the way.

Rejection Sensitivity (RSD) and Neurodiversity:
Why Small Comments Can Feel So Overwhelming:
For many people, especially those with Neurodiversity, a small comment or shift in tone can feel disproportionately painful. A neutral message might suddenly seem cold, a delayed reply can spark panic, and constructive feedback may feel like personal criticism. These moments can trigger spiralling thoughts, emotional overwhelm, and a strong urge to withdraw or to replay the situation.
This experience is often described as “rejection sensitivity”, a heightened emotional response to perceived rejection, criticism, or disapproval. And if this sounds familiar, you’re far from alone.

Membership: Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy
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.

How does Therapy work?
My Therapy room is a calm, neutral setting where you can be yourself; you won't be criticised, you won't be judged. I will accept you as you are, and will allow you to express yourself in perhaps a way you haven't been able to before.
I will listen, understand and then reflect that understanding back to you.
How long?
Therapy can be short term or from 6 to 8 weeks to long term open ended, we will work at the pace which is beneficial to you.
From my experience as a Counsellor and Coach, I am aware that clients sometimes underestimate the very real benefits that structured counselling and coaching can provide.

Neurodiversity‑Affirming Counselling & Coaching for Individuals and Couples
I am an experienced Counsellor and Coach with a specialist focus on neurodiversity. I support both individuals and couples in understanding their experiences around neurodivergent profiles such as Dyslexia, Autism Spectrum, ADHD, and Dyspraxia, and how these shape everyday life, relationships, and your relationship with yourself.
For Individuals
I integrate counselling and coaching to help you explore your neurodivergent identity, make sense of challenges, and build on your strengths. Together, we develop practical strategies around time management, organisation, overthinking, emotional regulation, and Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD). I aim to help you build confidence, resilience, and a sense of ease in your daily life.
For Couples
Relationships can be complex, and when one or both partners are neurodivergent, communication differences and misunderstandings can feel even more pronounced. Neurodiversity‑affirming couples work offers a supportive, non‑judgemental space to explore how each partner thinks, feels, and processes the world.
Sessions focus on: • Understanding communication styles • Reducing misunderstandings and conflict • Managing overwhelm and emotional regulation • Navigating differences in needs around space, routine, and connection • Building empathy, trust, and emotional safety • Developing practical strategies that support both partners.
My approach is strengths‑based, collaborative, and paced to suit each couple. The goal is not to mask differences, but to help you work with neurodiversity, creating a relationship that feels balanced, respectful, and sustainable for both partners.
I believe that everyone has the capacity for growth, even when it may feel out of reach. Whether you’re seeking personal clarity or wanting to strengthen your relationship, I offer a calm, supportive space where you can explore what you need and move forward with greater confidence.
