About me
You might look like you are coping on the outside while internally feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, disconnected from yourself or alone in what you are carrying.
You may appear to function well day-to-day while privately struggling with anxiety, shutdown, dissociation, burnout, relationship difficulties or the lasting impact of trauma.
Many of the people I work with are autistic, ADHD or late-identified neurodivergent adults, including those exploring or questioning their neurodivergence.
Some have spent years masking, overthinking, people-pleasing or trying to hold everything together while feeling increasingly exhausted underneath.
I offer a warm, relational and collaborative space where you do not need to minimise yourself in order to be accepted or explain parts of yourself in order to be understood.
Many people come to therapy after long periods of feeling misunderstood, judged, dismissed or emotionally unsafe within relationships, workplaces or families.
Over time, therapy can become a space where things begin to feel more understandable, manageable and less overwhelming, a space where you can reconnect with yourself more fully and feel less alone in what you are carrying.
How I work
My approach is relational, trauma-informed and neurodivergent-affirming.
Alongside exploring past experiences, we may also pay attention to what is happening for you emotionally, physically and relationally in the present moment.
Rather than focusing only on coping strategies, therapy can help you develop greater awareness of the patterns, survival responses and relational experiences that may have shaped how you move through the world.
Together, we may explore things such as:
- patterns of overwhelm, emotional shutdown or dissociation
- masking and exhaustion from trying to appear “fine”
- anxiety, hypervigilance or feeling constantly on edge
- difficulties expressing needs, emotions or boundaries
- self-criticism, shame or feeling “too much”
- relationship patterns and attachment wounds
- the impact of trauma, abuse or difficult past experiences
- identity, belonging and experiences of difference
I aim to work at a pace that feels manageable and collaborative, recognising that trust, safety and connection often take time.
Neurodivergent & LGBTQ+ affirming support
I offer an LGBTQ+ affirming, trans-inclusive and neurodivergent-affirming space. As a neurodivergent therapist myself, I understand that safety and accessibility look different for everyone. I offer a flexible, responsive environment where diverse identities, relationships and lived experiences are understood and respected without judgement.
Many of the clients I work with have spent years feeling different, misunderstood or unsupported within relationships, education and workplaces.
Therapy can become a space where you feel safer to exist more fully as yourself, without needing to mask, over-explain or shrink parts of who you are in order to feel accepted.
Sessions & Locations
I offer sessions in a few different ways depending on what feels most accessible and manageable for you.
- In-person counselling in High Barnet (EN5)
- In-person counselling in Camden (NW1)
- Online therapy: Accessible across the UK via a secure video platform
- Telephone sessions: Ideal if video calls feel too high-demand
My High Barnet practice is located just off Barnet High Street, within walking distance of High Barnet tube station. There are several nearby parking options.
My Camden practice is based on Delancey Street, just off Camden High Street and is nearby to Camden Town tube station.
Taking the first step
I understand that reaching out for therapy can feel daunting, particularly if you are already overwhelmed, anxious or unsure where to begin.
I offer a free initial introductory video call or phone call where we can informally talk about what is bringing you to therapy and whether working together feels like the right fit for you.
How to book: You can arrange this introductory call by messaging me via this page or by clicking through to my website where you can use my online diary booking system.
Training, qualifications & experience
I trained at The Gestalt Centre London, completing both a Certificate and Diploma in Humanistic and Gestalt Counselling.
Alongside my private practice, I work within specialist charities supporting adult survivors of domestic abuse, sexual violence and childhood sexual abuse. This work has given me extensive experience supporting clients navigating complex, long-standing patterns including dissociation, chronic overwhelm and relational trauma.
My additional training includes:
- Neuro-affirming counselling practices
- Working with adult-diagnosed Autism and ADHD
- Neurodivergence in women, non-binary people and high-masking presentations
- Specialist trauma training, including the phased trauma model
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP), and hold full professional indemnity insurance and an up-to-date enhanced DBS check.
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.
