About me
I am an openly neurodivergent counsellor specialising in ADHD, ASC, Addiction, Anger, Anxiety, and other related experiences. I trained to become a counsellor following a positive experience as a client. I know what it is like to sit in that chair. For seven years, I have worked with a diverse caseload of clients from around the world. I have worked online, face to face, outdoors, and in group therapy. As a pluralistic practitioner, I believe that people work in different ways and it is my responsibility to adapt to your needs. I am a fully qualified, registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
I am trained, fully qualified, and experienced in the application of a range of therapeutic techniques, tools, and theory, integrating aspects of Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Existential Psychotherapy, Mindfulness, Person-Centred therapy, Psychoanalytic therapies such as Transactional Analysis, and Psychoeducation.
Counselling can be hard, and sometimes, it requires stepping beyond the threshold of what is comfortable and known. I don't take that lightly. Accountability, adaptability and transparency are fundamental to my practice. I will regularly check my understanding, and welcome feedback to ensure a safe and autonomous therapeutic experience that is right for you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have facilitated over 3000 hours of therapy to date in various settings, and have worked with a diverse caseload of clients and criteria. I am qualified and experienced in the use of various tools, techniques and psychotherapeutic theory. My qualifications and experience are verified by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
I regularly engage in continuous personal and professional development, including additional training in many areas such as Addiction, ADHD, ASD, Anger Management, Anxiety, Bereavement, Communication, Dementia, Depression, Post-Natal Depression (including support for men), Relationships, and Supporting Carers.
As an integrative pluralistic practitioner, I believe that different people feel comfortable working in different ways, and that it is my responsibility to adapt to your needs. I will advocate for your autonomy and hold space for you as I listen with earnestness and respect.
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.
