About me
I’m an integrative counsellor offering a holistic, neuro-affirming approach to therapy.
If you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or feel like something just isn’t working, I offer a calm, non-judgmental space where we can work together to understand what’s going on beneath the surface, and help you move toward clarity, confidence, and change.
I work from a non-diet, body-acceptance perspective, because I believe you are so much more than your body - even if the world around you has suggested otherwise! I have a particular interest and experience in supporting people with body image concerns, disordered eating, and the ways these experiences can intersect with being neurodivergent. Together, we can explore how diet culture and weight stigma may affect how you feel about your body, and how these feelings can influence the way you eat. If you're tired of battling with your body or feeling like you're not “enough,” I offer a space that honours your experience, challenges societal narratives, and helps you move toward greater self-compassion and embodiment - at any size.
I’m an Integrative Therapist, which means I tailor therapy to you - not the other way around. The main modality I draw on is Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy. I am a Level 2 trained Practitioner, officially trained through IFS UK and the IFS Institute. IFS is a powerful, compassionate method for working with different “parts” of you - those inner voices that might feel anxious, critical, reactive, or shut down. Together, we can get to know your inner world, exploring it not as a problem but as a protective system trying to help, so you can heal from the inside out.
In addition if required, I use my personal experience and professional training to integrate ADHD Coaching into the therapeutic relationship - offering practical tools and emotional support to help you manage overwhelm, build focus, and work with your brain rather than against it.
Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, spiritual issues, burnout, or just a sense that there could be more to life, I’m here to help. My goal is to walk alongside you as we untangle what’s getting in the way, rediscover your inner resources, and help you feel more empowered and connected.
I support clients navigating family estrangement as well - whether you're processing a recent rupture or a long-standing disconnection. Estrangement doesn't just happen overnight and this work can involve grief, guilt, anger, relief and confusion - sometimes all at once. I offer a space where all those experiences are welcome, and where you can begin to make sense of your story on your own terms.
Let’s begin from where you are.
The Therapeutic Relationship is an integral part of therapy, I offer a reduced fee for our preliminary online session to determine whether we feel working together would be beneficial for you. Text, call or email to book your session.
