About me
You don't have to navigate this alone.
If you are feeling completely exhausted by the daily grind, or always second-guessing yourself or trying to manage a mind that struggles to be quiet or overthinks, I'm glad you are here.
Many of the people I work with come to therapy because they feel stuck or overwhelmed. You might be dealing with feeling stuck with anxiety, depression, or the weight of burnout, or the type of challenges that come with navigating the world with ADHD/Autism. Or you may be trying to make sense of past trauma which shows up in the here and now, or perhaps struggling to find a foothold during a difficult life change.
Whatever combination of struggles you are experiencing, it is valid to respond, and is a lot to manage by yourself. Therapy with me is a collaborative, person to person interaction, focused on real outcomes. I care about helping you get good results and meeting your desired outcomes. With 18 years in practice, counselling & psychology, I bring a deep understanding of human behaviour, and human struggle, to the interaction.
Struggling on alone can prevent you from reaching your full potential, robbing you of life’s pleasure and joys. Together, we won't just manage your symptoms; we will explore the root causes and help you understand the part you play in your own difficulties, giving you the self-awareness needed to make lasting, meaningful changes.
I won’t leave you to figure it out alone; I use a hands-on, strategic approach to actively guide you through the heavy stuff and offer enough psycho education for you to better understand what’s happening behind the scenes, and how to change it! Whether that’s conditioned responses, regulation, attachment or historical influences, habits or something else. We can create a lens to look from both the outside (responses and behaviours), and the inside (thoughts, emotions and the neuroscience of these). For example, many clients feel better when they can emotionally regulate and change their thought habits.
As an independent practitioner, I am not bound by rigid, organisational box-ticking. This independence allows me to work entirely from your perspective, keeping your best interests at the heart of everything we do. I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. My personal expertise lies in drawing from my years of experience in theory and practice, to tailor specific strategies and interventions directly to you, adapting methods and strategies to align with your unique history and exactly how your brain and mind works.
This tailored approach is especially important for working with your trauma or neurodiversity struggles. I provide pre and post-diagnostic support for ADHD, Autism, or both. Or another type of diagnosis. Whilst statutory organisations frequently offer a diagnosis, I can provide that crucial next step. Together, we can unpack what your diagnosis means for you, unlearn years of exhausting masking, and build practical, real-world strategies that work for your needs.
To make support as accessible for you as possible, I work flexibly and offer sessions in person, online and over the phone. Taking the first step can feel like a leap of faith, but you can find a supportive space with me where you can work through life's challenges.
I also specialise in burnout (professional) and building resilience and recovery.
Next Steps: Please feel free to reach out and schedule a free, brief initial consultation. We can talk about what you are hoping to get out of therapy, discuss availability and see if you feel like we can work together.

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.
