About me

If your brain won't switch off, you replay conversations at 2am, and you're exhausted from pretending you're fine - you're in the right place. 

I'm an Integrative Therapist specialising in anxiety, identity and the pressure of adulting. I work with young people (11+), and adults in Poole, near Bournemouth, as well as offering online therapy across the UK. 

Maybe you overthink everything. Conversations, texts, decisions, whether someone is annoyed with you. On the outside, you might look like you've got it together, but instead your mind feels loud, overthinking and really bloody hard to switch off. 

I often work with neurodivergent clients, including people with ADHD, autism and dyslexia, who might have spent years masking, trying to fit in or wondering why life seems easier for everyone else. 

Therapy with me is human, relaxed and shaped around you. No worksheets or one-size-fits-all approach. We'll explore what's behind the anxiety and overthinking, the patterns you keep getting stuck in, and help you understand yourself with a little more curiosity and a lot less judgement. 

You don't need to have the right words or know exactly what you want from therapy. I invite you to come as your beautifully flawed self. 

I offer counselling and psychotherapy from my relaxed, plant-filled space in Ashley Cross, Poole, as well as online across the UK.  

Feel free to check out my Instagram @WiredTherapy to get a feel for my vibe, or head to my website to complete my referral form.

Whether you choose to work with me or someone else, I recognise the courage it can take to reach out for support. I hope you're proud of yourself for taking that first step.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
