About me
Short term and open ended counselling available.
You might be looking for counselling because you’re asking yourself these questions:
- Why does everything feel harder for me than it seems for other people?
- Why am I exhausted all the time, even when I’m not doing that much?
- Why do small tasks feel so big?
- Why can’t I stop replaying conversations in my head?
- Why do I feel socially anxious even with people I like?
- Why do I overanalyse everything I say?
- Why do I feel “too much” or “not enough” at the same time?
You may be experiencing:
- Cycles of burnout and recovery
- Constant overwhelm and overthinking
- Anxiety that never fully settles
- Low mood or depression or cycles of PMDD
- Difficulty with focus, organisation or emotional regulation
- A deep sense of being different
- struggles with addictive behaviour
My practice is increasingly focused on supporting clients who identify as neurodivergent, whether formally diagnosed or self-identifying and those who care for children who are diagnosed. I recognise that many people live with traits of ADHD, autism, dyslexia, or other forms of neurodivergence—sometimes without a clear label—and that this can shape how they experience the world, relationships, and themselves.
I’m interested in this and how these intersect with experiences of anxiety, depression, enmeshment, school, trauma, abuse, or family difficulties/relationship with parents.
I offer a space where difference is valued rather than pathologised. Together, we can explore both the challenges and strengths that come with a neurodivergent profile. My approach is collaborative and tailored, helping you to make sense of your story, feel understood, and find ways of moving forward that honour who you are.
- Free 15 minute phone call
- £50 50 minute weekly ongoing sessions. This helps to create a sense of consistency, predictability and certainty which can feel soothing when life is hard.
The way I work can help with a wide range of things, but particular interest areas/experience are as follows:
- Generalised Anxiety Disorder and feelings of anxiety.
- Depression
- Neurodiversity – diagnosed ADHD, Autism, Sensory Processing Disorder, OCD or awaiting for or thinking about diagnosis
- Womens health and links with neurodivergence
- Parent/and adult child relationships – challenging relationships with parent or adult child

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.
