About me
I am an AuDHD with a wealth of academic and clinical knowledge and experience at your service.
Have you been asking yourself how to survive anxiety, depression, betrayal, disappointment, hurt, and separation? Resentment, sense of injustice and low self-confidence or stress - what do you do with it? Do you want to talk about failed expectations, anxiety, depression or family issues?
I work with personal and relational issues with people who want to make changes in their lives. Together, we will find what works best for you and discover how to start loving yourself, improve your self-esteem and see a positive change.
I can help you on your journey of self-discovery, deal with complex trauma, or improve your communication with someone close to you. You or your partner/s may benefit from psychoeducation and endeavour to tease out what is the real you and what is masking.
You might fear losing what you already have — for instance, losing a friendship if you express dissatisfaction with something. Or having conflicts with people who are important to you while trying to assert your boundaries. Or feeling like you are different when you start prioritising yourself and your happiness.
Reflect on your relationships, understand what you truly want, and learn to communicate effectively with people. Also, figure out:
- What to do when your boundaries are violated,
- How to stay calm and in control during conflicts,
- How to improve relationships with your loved ones and much more.
I am here to listen and to help you explore your thoughts and feelings, which can sometimes feel confusing and overwhelming. I offer a secure, neurodiversity-affirming, professional and confidential environment where we work together to try and make sense of how you are feeling.

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.
