About me

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, burnout, self-esteem challenges, people pleasing, relationship struggles, or the ups and downs of everyday life?

No matter what has brought you here, I believe everyone has the capacity to grow, heal, and thrive when given the right space and support. My approach is warm, compassionate, and down to earth- no pressure, just honest connection and practical support. My sessions are collaborative, meaning you set the pace, and we explore what matters most to you; this is a space where you have freedom and control. I use Person Centred, Psychodynamic and CBT approaches in order to tailor the session to you and your needs, and create flexibility in our sessions.
My sessions are LGBTQIA+ friendly, gender affirming and anti racist.

I provide a space that is warm, approachable, and real. I’m here to walk alongside you, offer insight, and help you make sense of what’s going on beneath the surface. Together, we’ll build emotional awareness, learn self-compassion, and work toward genuine, sustainable change. I believe in not censoring yourself, so humour and colourful language are welcome in our sessions in order to build authenticity, realness and safety.

While I work with clients of all backgrounds, my specialism is in neurodivergence- primarily ADHD & Autism, but also work with those who identify with dyslexia and dyspraxia. As someone with a personal understanding of neurodivergent experiences I know how important it is to find a therapist who truly gets it. Not just hears you, but understands you.
I offer neurodiversity-affirming therapy, which means I don’t see difference as disorder. Instead, I help to understand, support, destigmatise and manage your neurodivergence, and find strategies that actually work for you. I also offer education around this, to help build your understanding of yourself from a practical level. Whether you’re exploring a late diagnosis, struggling with masking/people pleasing, or simply trying to navigate a world that isn’t always built for your brain, I am here to support you.

Common Areas I Work With:
Anxiety, stress, and overthinking
Low mood, depression, and burnout
Neurodivergence (ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia)
Identity, self-acceptance, and self-esteem
Relationship challenges and communication
Life transitions and career changes

I work both online and in-person in Chiswick, West London. 

Training, qualifications & experience

I have a Master's degree in Integrative Counselling & Psychotherapy. I am trained in person-centred therapy, psychodynamic therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT).

I have over 9 years experience working with:
-NHS IAPT service
-military veterans
-crisis services
-neurodivergent adults & children
-Betterhelp & SHOUT
This gives me a range of experience in areas not limited to depression, anxiety, low self-confidence, anger, autism & ADHD, self-harm, suicidal ideation and trauma.

I specialise in ADHD, having both professional and personal experience with neurodivergence. Whether this has been a long term diagnosis or something that was missed during childhood, I will work to help you understand it. My practice is neurodivergent affirming and we will work together to better understand your ADHD, help to regulate and manage symptoms and undo all the negative stigma that may have been put upon you.
As well as therapy, I also offer ADHD coaching.

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.

Accredited register membership

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
Accredited Register Scheme

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.
