About me
Do you feel anxious or down a lot of the time? Maybe your mind never seems to switch off, you're constantly overthinking, or everyday life seems more exhausting for you than for everyone else.
Anxiety and stress can show up in lots of different ways. It might be constant worrying, overthinking conversations, difficulty making decisions, fear of getting things wrong, or just feeling like your brain never gets a chance to rest.
Maybe you've become very good at holding everything together on the outside, while feeling overwhelmed underneath.
Or maybe you've recently discovered that you have ADHD or autism, and suddenly you're looking back at your life through a completely different lens.
I'm an integrative therapist, which means I believe therapy should be tailored to your experience. You're the expert on your own life, and my role is to work alongside you to understand what you're experiencing and what you need.
I want therapy to feel like somewhere you can be yourself, including the parts of yourself that you might normally hide or feel you need to explain.
I encourage authenticity, jokes, swearing, or whatever makes the space feel real to you.
You don't need to arrive with everything worked out. You don't even need to know exactly what's wrong. We can start wherever you are and work it out together.
ADHD, autism and neurodivergence
ADHD and autism are my specialism, and I work with neurodivergent adults at different stages of their journey.
Perhaps you've recently received an ADHD or autism diagnosis and are trying to understand what it means for you, or you're questioning whether you might be neurodivergent. Or maybe you've known for years but are now beginning to explore how being neurodivergent has shaped your experiences.
You might experience overwhelm, masking, burnout, difficulties with executive functioning, emotional regulation, relationships or self-esteem. You may have spent years feeling "too much", "not enough", disorganised, difficult or somehow different without understanding why. You may have even felt you're too self aware for therapy to work.
I believe ADHD or autism are not something that needs to be "fixed". Instead, we can explore what makes life difficult for you, what helps, and how you can develop a way of living that works with who you are rather than constantly fighting against yourself to fit in or feel comfortable.
Whether you're struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, stress, overwhelm, relationships or a general feeling that something needs to change, therapy can give you the time and space to understand what's going on.
You don't have to have a reason that sounds "bad enough" or be in crisis to come to therapy. Thinking "I don't want to keep feeling like this" is enough.
If any of this resonates, please get in touch! We can have a conversation about what you're looking for and see whether I might be the right therapist for you. I offer a 20 minute introductory call, free of charge over zoom to help you decide if this is right for you.

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:
- Springhealth EAP
- 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.
