About me

Hi, I’m Steph 

Im a BACP accredited therapist with over ten years’ experience. I support adults and young people through the moments when life feels overwhelming, confusing, or simply too heavy to carry alone. If you’re feeling stuck, stressed, anxious, or unsure where to turn next, you’re in the right place.

I work with a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and life with ADHD. Whether you’re newly diagnosed, wondering if ADHD might be part of your story, or making sense of a late diagnosis, I offer a space where your experiences are understood—not judged.

Therapy has been life-changing for me personally, too. I know what it means to sit in the client’s chair, and this helps me offer a warm, grounded, and genuinely human space. Together, we’ll work at your pace, helping you reconnect with who you are and feel more like yourself again.

How We’ll Work Together:

Therapy works best when you feel safe, supported, and truly heard. My approach is integrative with a strong person-centred foundation, which means sessions are shaped around you, your needs, your goals, and your way of moving through the world.

I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches in a flexible and sensitive way, adapting as we go so therapy feels relevant and helpful to your life right now.

I offer both in-person and online sessions. Most clients come weekly, but I understand that life and finances can get busy so if bi-weekly sessions suit you better, or a schedule bespoke to your needs we can explore that together.

Whether your difficulties are rooted in the present or connected to past experiences, my aim is to help you feel less stuck and move toward a life that feels more grounded, authentic, and aligned with who you truly are.

Special Areas of Interest:

Anxiety

Anxietycan affect every part of life, often showing up as constant worry, overthinking, racing thoughts, physical symptoms, difficulty relaxing, or a persistent sense that something bad might happen. It can also present as OCD, Pure O (obsessional thoughts), intrusive thoughts, health anxiety, relationship anxiety, panic, or postnatal anxiety.

Living with anxiety can be exhausting, leaving you feeling stuck in cycles of fear, doubt, and self-criticism. Together, we can explore what may be driving your anxiety, develop a deeper understanding of your experiences, and find ways to respond differently to anxious thoughts and feelings. Therapy can help you feel less overwhelmed by anxiety, build confidence in managing it, and create more space for the things that matter to you, so that anxiety no longer feels like it's in the driving seat of your life.

Trauma

Trauma is not always the result of a single dramatic event. It can stem from experiences that felt overwhelming, frightening, emotionally painful, or difficult to process at the time. This may include childhood experiences, relationship difficulties, loss, neglect, abuse, bullying, or significant life changes.

These experiences can continue to affect how you see yourself, relate to others, and navigate the world long after they have happened. I offer a warm, compassionate, and non-judgemental space where we can explore these experiences together, helping you make sense of their impact and move towards healing at a pace that feels safe and manageable for you.

ADHD Support (Adults & Young People):
I’m particularly passionate about working with ADHD—from early suspicions and “what ifs,” through to newly diagnosed or late-diagnosed clients. As someone diagnosed later in life myself, I bring both professional understanding and lived experience.

Some people come to explore whether ADHD might be part of their story. Others want support after receiving a diagnosis, or need help navigating work, school, relationships, or day-to-day life.

I offer a safe, validating space to explore your experiences
practical and solution-focused strategies
support with the assessment process
help gathering personal history or evidence for schools, workplace adjustments, or healthcare professionals
a neuro-affirming approach, focused on strengths, understanding, and empowerment

My aim is to help you understand your brain and build strategies that work with it, rather than against it. 

Taking the First Step:
Reaching out to a therapist can feel daunting, I completely understand. I offer a free 15-minute consultation so you can ask questions, share what you’re looking for, and get a feel for whether we’d be a good fit.
