About me
Hello and welcome! I'm Molly, a person-centred therapist committed to creating a safe, compassionate space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace, in a way that feels safe and empowering.
I believe that every person has the potential to thrive and is the expert of their own life. My approach centers around you—your needs, goals, and lived experiences. My role is to walk alongside you, offering support, empathy, and understanding as you navigate the challenges you're facing. Together we can create a non-judgmental and respectful environment where you feel heard, valued, and truly understood.
As our backgrounds and social context play a big part in understanding ourselves, and as such my practise is anti racist, LGBTQIA+ and gender affirming, neurodivergent friendly and anti oppressive. As well as this, I believe in not censoring yourself, so humour and colourful language can play just as much a role in our sessions as serious, creating the safest environment for you to heal.
I work with individuals of all backgrounds and life situations, and I understand that each person’s journey is unique. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, relationship issues, grief, or simply seeking a deeper sense of self, I’m here to help you build a stronger connection with yourself and foster the positive change you desire. Together, we’ll explore your inner world with kindness and acceptance, empowering you to unlock your own potential and discover your path forward.
I specialise in working with ADHD. Whether you’ve recently been diagnosed, have lived with ADHD for years, or suspect you may have it, I’m here to support you in understanding how ADHD affects your life, relationships, and self-perception. Together, we’ll work on practical strategies for managing behaviours, building self-compassion, and embracing your strengths, to help you understand, destigmatise and manage any processes that stem from this.
If you’re looking to build a deeper understanding of yourself, build confidence, or explore new ways of living with more balance, I’m here to support you on your journey toward self-discovery, growth, and positive change.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a Master's degree in Integrative Counselling & Psychotherapy. I am trained in person-centred therapy, psychodynamic therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy.
I have over 7 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 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.
