About me
I specialise in Neurodiversity and SEND (Autism & ADHD) in particular children, teens and adults needing support to understand and accept their diagnosis. I also support females diagnosed in later life to unmask and embrace their true self.
I offer creative counselling to adults, young people and children facing a range of difficulties and challenges in life, one of the main areas I work in is finding ways to manage the challenges of anxiety and depression . Feeling overwhelmed and not knowing where to start can be a daunting place.
I offer creative therapy, sandplay therapy, sound and meditation alongside workshops and training.

Member organisations
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
