About me
I'm a neurodivergent psychotherapeutic counsellor creating a space where late-identified Autistic, ADHD, AuDHD adults, neuroqueer folks, multicultural/2nd-gen people, and partners, friends or family of neurodivergent loved ones feel finally seen, not fixed. All genders welcome.
You might look like you're functioning, but feel overstimulated, drained, misunderstood, and are masking to meet expectations that never fit. Some clients are newly discovering their neurotype; others are exhausted from burnout or feeling "too much."
Trauma-informed, culturally aware, non-pathologising therapy for those ready to feel truly understood.
Together, we'll nurture self-understanding, confidence, and sustainable change at your pace; honouring your sensory needs, communication style, identity, culture, and unique story.
No pressure to perform, just gentle exploration of what helps you breathe easier.
Does this sound like you?
- Late-identified Autistic/ADHD woman burned out from masking
- Neuroqueer/non-binary adult navigating intersectional challenges
- Autistic/ADHD man with masking exhaustion or late diagnosis
- Partner, friend or family of an Autistic/ADHD loved one
- Multicultural/2nd-gen person exploring identity & belonging
What clients say:
"First therapist who truly understands me."
"Felt genuinely cared for, even through the hardest sessions."
What brings people to my private practice: Burnout, masking fatigue, identity questions, cross-neurotype relationships, estrangement, trauma, and cultural belonging.

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.

Additional information
I work with a mix of standard, concessionary, and free sessions so that therapy can be more accessible for people who face financial or social barriers.
Individual Sessions - 50‑minute sessions:
- Standard fee: Online: £100 Face‑to‑face: £120
These standard fees help me sustain my practice and support concessionary and pro bono spaces.
- Concessionary fee (sliding scale) - Online 50‑minute sessions:
Reduced‑fee sessions, usually between £50 and £70, depending on income and circumstances.
These are prioritised for people from marginalised communities who face financial or social barriers.
We agree on the exact fee together at the start and can review it if your situation changes.
- Pro bono slots for the global majority:
A number of free sessions are reserved specifically for individuals from the global majority, especially when there are multiple barriers to accessing mental‑health support.
By “global majority,” I mean individuals racialised as Black, Brown, Asian, mixed‑heritage, and other ethnically minoritised communities whose lives are shaped by systemic racism and the assumption that whiteness is the norm.
These places are usually offered through charity referral or specific access routes and are subject to availability.
Online length and fee flexibility:
For online sessions, I can sometimes adapt the fee if the session is shorter or longer than 50 minutes.
This is discussed on a case‑by‑case basis and agreed in advance, so you know exactly what you will be paying.
Why my fees are set this way:
My fee structure is designed to support equity and reparation, and to make therapy more accessible for people who face systemic barriers.
