About me
As one co-founder of F&B Digital Therapy, I am an accredited CBT therapist with a passion for helping people untangle their problems, gaining an understanding of the development and maintenance of such. With a diagnosis of ADHD and Autism in adulthood myself, I am particularly passionate in working with neurodivergence, providing a place for someone to finally be understood and begin accepting themselves as a whole.
I help my clients overcome the self-doubt that comes with navigating neurodivergence in adulthood, to embrace their true selves and finally feel comfortable & confident within their own mind. Within this, comes an interest in working with low self-esteem, eating disorders and OCD, which are often common alongside neurodivergent conditions.
In working with me, you’ll be able to start understanding what keeps your problem going, as well as delving deeper into where it started in the first place. I find anyone who loves analysing, understanding and piecing things together (like me) this approach is perfect for! You’ll then learn strategies to break any negative cycles you may be in and overcome the things that may be holding you back from being you.
My lived experience of AuDHD means when I say I understand, I TRULY do! And that’s why I provide a safe & flexible space, tailoring the approaches I use to your personal and individual needs. Forgot to do a homework task? I won’t shame you, instead we’ll work together to find a way to make it work for your wonderfully unique brain instead! I can also provide practical tips & strategies to manage executive dysfunction.
I want to understand you as an individual, and to work as a team - not assuming I know more about you than you do. I finding combining my knowledge of CBT and mental health, with a client's knowledge of themselves, creates the best outcomes.

Further information
I work in an informal but structured way, however if we need to deviate from the structure I’m flexible in tailoring the work to what you need. This is perfect for anyone who may need guiding in sessions but would like a bit of flexibility to talk and explore things. I also love to find ways to incorporate what you’re passionate about into the sessions somehow - think pets, music, games, art etc. This can be so healing too.
Some little facts to get to know me:
- I see playing video games as self care.
- I also have a digital art business where I create things for people who are passionate about what they love.
- I have a dog called Rocket and a cat called Fuji. If I could I would have a lot more pets, I love all types of animals and even have some crow friends I feed in my garden!
- music means a lot to me, but I have a very eclectic music taste (my favourite artists are Taylor Swift & Green Day!)
