About me
Do you ever feel like you’re holding everything together — at work, at home, for everyone else — but quietly running on empty inside? You might find yourself overthinking, people-pleasing, or feeling anxious and never quite enough.
If you identify with ADHD, Autism, or other forms of neurodivergence, these struggles can feel even more intense - from sensory overwhelm or masking, to the exhaustion of not feeling fully understood.
Therapy with me offers a calm, compassionate space to finally breathe out. Together, we’ll explore the roots of self-doubt and emotional exhaustion, often shaped by early experiences and begin to rebuild confidence, healthier boundaries and a stronger sense of who you are.
My approach is integrative, trauma-informed, and neurodiversity-affirming.
I combine psychodynamic theory, CBT, mindfulness, and attachment-focused work to help you feel calmer, clearer, and more connected in your life and relationships.
You don’t have to keep holding everything together alone. Book a free 20-minute discovery call today - a gentle first step toward understanding yourself and finding steadier ground.
Training, qualifications & experience
Before becoming a counsellor, I spent many years in senior leadership - balancing high expectations and family life - so I understand the toll that pressure and self-doubt can take.
With over ten years’ experience as a coach, I integrate therapy and coaching to help you increase self-awareness and take practical steps toward change, including challenges linked to ADHD and Autism.
I also bring lived experience of neurodiversity, deepening my empathy for the complexities of identity, belonging, and relationships.
I’ve worked with Mind as a mentor, counsellor, and trustee, supported young people in local schools, and volunteered with trauma-focused charities.These experiences shape the compassion and realism I bring to therapy - recognising that real change comes from feeling understood, supported, and seen.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.

Further information
Life can get busy and overwhelming, and it’s easy to forget to make time for yourself.
When you come to Wrest Park or the Happy Body Project, you’ll find a peaceful space surrounded by nature — a calm place to pause, reflect, and begin to feel more like you again.
My counselling room offers comfort and privacy, with space to leave everyday pressures behind.
For some, simply being in nature helps release tension; others prefer the stillness of the room. Either way, our sessions are led by what helps you feel most at ease.
I also offer walk-and-talk therapy at Wrest Park. Walking side by side can make conversations flow more easily and help reduce stress and anxiety.
If it’s easier to meet remotely, I provide online or telephone sessions for flexibility around work, location, or accessibility. You can choose whichever format feels right for you, or mix and match as needed.
