About me
Hello, and Welcome.
I believe we are all different, with our own unique experiences in life. It is for this reason that I tailor my therapeutic approach to support your individual needs, using an integrative, creative, and inclusive approach to counselling - truly honouring and respecting your unique communication, sensory, and emotional rhythm.
I deeply value, celebrate, and welcome diversity as well as individuality. I approach therapeutic work with the understanding that different neuro-types or experiences in life are not flaws or disorders that need to be fixed or cured, but are a natural variation of human experience - I offer a space of acceptance, inclusion, empowerment, and authenticity.
I offer a gentle, nurturing, warming space where trust, safety, and confidence can be developed, where I walk alongside you and support you to explore and express yourself in a way that feels comfortable and safe for you, without expectation, judgement, or pressure.
Together, and at your pace, we can start to make sense of your experiences, your world, and how you relate with yourself and others, enabling you to move forward in life feeling liberated and empowered with authenticity.
I offer online, telephone, room based and nature assisted therapy.
Nature Assisted Therapy
Nature can be a powerful co-therapist. For those who feel called to step outside the traditional therapy room, I offer sessions where the natural world becomes a gentle, grounding space for your story. Whether we walk among the trees, sit quietly with the weather, or engage creatively with the earth, the landscape offers a unique holding and accepting presence, within which healing and growth can be found.
These sessions are shaped entirely by you and what your body needs - whether that is gentle movement, quiet stillness, or simply finding your breath. No fitness level or outdoor experience is required, and there is no pressure to perform. It is simply an invitation to root yourself in the outer world while gently tending to your inner one.

Areas of Speciality: Who Do I Work With?
- Neurodiversity & Identity
I warmly welcome those who are neurodivergent - whether you are self-diagnosed, diagnosed, waiting, or simply exploring your neurotype for the first time. My practice is a celebratory space where we look beyond "functioning" to understand your unique sensory and emotional world. From navigating burnout and RSD to honoring your executive and communication style, I help you peel back the layers of masking so you can live in a way that truly fits your natural rhythm.
- Complex Trauma & Emotional Wellbeing
I offer a steady, compassionate presence for navigating the layers of complex trauma, attachment loss, and emotional dysregulation. We will work at a pace that honors your safety, gently untangling the past while building resilience for the present. I am also experienced in supporting clients through grief, identity, anxiety, and periods of deep distress or suicidal ideation.
- LGBTQIA+ & Gender Diversity
I provide a celebratory and affirming space for the LGBTQIA+ community. Whether you are exploring the nature of your identity and sexuality or seeking support for the specific challenges of minority stress and authentic living, I am here to walk with you. My practice honors the beautiful diversity of human experience, helping you find a sense of belonging and pride in your own true nature.
- Hormonal & Menstrual Health
I support those navigating the emotional impact of menstrual and hormonal changes - including PMS, PMDD, perimenopause, and menopause. Together, we can develop cycle awareness that helps you move in harmony with your body’s natural rhythms, reducing distress and reclaiming a sense of flow.
- Self-Worth & Inner Landscape
If you are navigating the heavy clouds of low mood or the quiet ache of low self-esteem, I offer a space to gently tend to your inner landscape. Together, we look beneath the surface of "not being enough" to rediscover your inherent worth. My approach focuses on building a compassionate relationship with yourself, helping you grow the quiet confidence needed to take up space in the world and live with greater ease.
- Climate Grief & Earth Disconnect
I offer a grounded, validating space for those carrying the heavy weight of climate grief, eco-anxiety, and a deep-seated disconnect from the natural world. If you are feeling overwhelmed by the state of our planet, experiencing "solastalgia" (grief for a changing home), or longing to restore your relationship with the earth, your feelings are not a pathology - they are a deeply sane response to our world. Together, we will honor your environmental grief, explore ways to manage systemic burnout, and find meaningful ways to re-anchor yourself in nature's rhythms so you can sustain hope and resilience.
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.
