About me
I am a neurodivergent affirming counsellor who can help you explore Autism, ADHD, learning disabilities and many life challenges. I worked for over 12 years with clients with autism and learning disabilities, so I’m experienced with adapting to client’s needs.
I am here to help you figure things out, to move your life forward when you feel tired, anxious, depressed, stuck, sad, traumatised, unconfident, helpless, worthless, guilty, ashamed, overwhelmed, lost, confused, suffering from a bereavement, can't move forward, or something just isn't right.
My work is supervised by Marie Maynard Morgan https://www.mariemaynardmorgan.com/supervision.
As a warm, empathetic, sensitive, and non-judgmental therapist, I will support you to explore ways to change. I provide a welcoming, safe, and reflective space where you can feel at ease to explore every aspect of your life, be heard, and understood without judgement.
I will help you to make sense of how you got here, to explore your future, grow your inner resources and make positive changes.
I will help you to explore and work through your feelings, to come to your own conclusions, and support you to incorporate these changes into your everyday life.
I value your uniqueness and work with you in a way that suits you and enables you to get the best out of the session.
If this sounds like something you are looking for then feel free to contact me for an initial free 30-minute phone or zoom session to see if you want to move forward with the first session.

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.
