MNCPS (Acc.). Integrative Counsellor & Service Manager

About me

Welcome, I’m Sal, an integrative counsellor specialising in neurodiversity, addiction, and emotional overwhelm.

If you’re feeling stuck, anxious, burnt out, or struggling with relationships or difficult emotions, I offer a calm, non‑judgmental space where you can talk openly and together we can uncover the true reasons behind current challenges. My approach is warm, down‑to‑earth, and tailored to your unique needs.

I have extensive experience supporting clients with ADHD, ADD, autism, addiction, grief, phobias, anxiety, low self-confidence and the heavy moments that can make life feel overwhelming. Together, we work at your pace to help you make sense of what’s going on and find a clearer, steadier way forward.

I offer a free 10‑minute phone consultation, no pressure, no obligation — just a chance to explore what you’re facing and how therapy might help.

All sessions are online via video, making counselling easy to access from wherever you are.

I’m here to listen, and whenever you are ready, together we’ll work towards positive, meaningful change.
