About me
I am a BACP‑registered Psychodynamic Counsellor offering long‑term and fixed‑term Integrative therapy in Leicester City Centre and online. I provide a confidential, safe, non‑judgemental and neurodivergent‑affirming space where you can talk openly about whatever is worrying you.
Many people come to me when they feel anxious, overwhelmed, low, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. Together, we explore what’s happening in your world right now, make sense of past experiences, and understand how your relationships and history may be shaping how you feel today.
My approach is warm, grounded and collaborative. Alongside talking therapy, I integrate somatic work — including breathing and body‑awareness techniques — to help you stay regulated, connected and supported while processing difficult emotions.
Specialist areas: Neurodivergence, Autism & ADHD
I specialise in working with autistic, ADHD and otherwise neurodivergent adults. As well as my own lived experience, I have 10 years of professional experience as an Autism Specialist Mentor in Higher Education, supporting autistic and AuDHD students and staff.
I am also a certified ADHD Coach (recognised by the Association for Coaching and the Universal Coaching Alliance), and I offer ADHD Coaching sessions alongside counselling.
If you are exploring your neurodivergent identity, wondering about autism or ADHD, or looking for a therapist who truly understands neurodivergence, I offer a warm, affirming space to talk.
I have experience supporting people with: • Anxiety, stress and burnout • Depression and low mood • Loss, grief and bereavement • PMDD, menopause and women’s health • ME/CFS and chronic illness • LGBTQ+ experiences • Low self-esteem and confidence • Family and relationship difficulties • Trauma, dissociation and emotional overwhelm • Work‑related stress • Perfectionism, shame and self‑criticism.
How sessions work
Counselling sessions are weekly, 50 minutes, at the same time each week. Sessions can be face‑to‑face in Leicester City Centre or online via Zoom.
You are free to end therapy at any time.
Your first session
After you contact me, I will email you to arrange an initial assessment session (please check your spam folder if you don’t see a reply within two working days). The assessment session lasts 1 hour and costs £45. It is an opportunity for you to ask questions, for me to learn more about what brings you to counselling, and for us to see whether we feel like a good fit.

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.
