About me
I am a psychodynamic counsellor and ADHD-CCSP Coach, working with neurodivergent adults and women navigating menopause and midlife transitions.
Many of the people I work with come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in patterns that are difficult to understand or change. You may feel caught in a loop of overthinking, masking, or self-doubt, or find yourself struggling with emotional overwhelm, burnout, or a sense of disconnection from yourself.
I also work with women experiencing menopause and midlife transitions. This stage of life can bring not only physical changes but also emotional and psychological shifts, including questions around identity, relationships, confidence, ageing, purpose, and the future. Many women describe feeling unlike themselves or noticing long-standing relationship patterns becoming harder to ignore.
Therapy offers a space to slow down and make sense of these experiences.
My approach is psychodynamic, which means we explore not only what is happening now, but also the deeper emotional patterns and relationship experiences that may be shaping your current difficulties. This can include past experiences, attachment patterns, and unconscious processes that influence how you relate to yourself and others.
Alongside my counselling training, I hold an MA in Special Needs and Inclusion and an ADHD-CCSP Coaching qualification. These inform my understanding of neurodiversity, identity, belonging, and the impact of feeling different or misunderstood over time.
Clients often describe me as warm, thoughtful, and easy to talk to. I aim to offer a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space where you can explore difficult thoughts and feelings at your own pace.
Therapy with me is not about quick fixes, but about developing deeper self-understanding, reducing self-criticism, and creating more meaningful and lasting change in how you relate to yourself and others.

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.
