About me
Hi, a warm welcome to my page.
Whether you are diagnosed, self - identified or exploring neurodivergence, you are welcome here.
Perhaps you've spent years trying to keep up, fit in or make sense of why some things seem to take so much more effort for you than for others. Maybe you're feeling anxious, overwhelmed or burnt out from trying to manage everything, or you're beginning to understand yourself differently through an ADHD or autism diagnosis.
I support neurodivergent adults to explore these experiences in a space where they can feel understood, accepted and free to be themselves.
My work is informed by specialist training in neurodivergence, alongside my own lived experience of ADHD. This brings both professional knowledge and personal understanding to my work. I know how valuable it can be to feel understood without having to explain or justify every part of yourself, while recognising that everyone's experience of neurodivergence is different.
I support neurodivergent adults with:
- Emotional wellbeing: anxiety, depression, self-doubt, low self-esteem and rejection sensitivity.
- Neurodivergent experiences: masking, camouflaging, rumination, feeling different and understanding yourself after diagnosis or self-identification.
- Everyday life and relationships: friendships, intimate relationships, work challenges and feeling constantly overwhelmed.
- Burnout: Feeling like you've reached your limit and don't know how to move forward.
- Hormonal transitions: perimenopause, menopause, pregnancy and the postnatal period.
How I work
I work pluralistically, which means we work together to find an approach that feels right for you. Rather than expecting you to fit a particular model of therapy, I'm interested in understanding what matters to you, what you hope to gain from counselling and what might help you move towards that.
Alongside my counselling training, I'm also a certified Co-Active Coach. This informs my work by bringing an additional focus to your strengths, values and possibilities for change, alongside space to explore your experiences and emotions. Our work together is shaped around you and what you need.
I offer a free 50 minute initial session so we can explore about what's bringing you to therapy, what you're looking for and whether I might be the right therapist for you.
You are very welcome to call or email me.
Training, qualifications & experience
I completed my professional training at the University of Brighton, one of the UK's highly esteemed training institutions accredited by the BACP.
I am a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and abide by the BACP's code of ethics.
I have completed Advanced specialist training in neurodivergent competent practice with Think Neurodivergent.
Alongside my private practice I work as a Student Counsellor at Sussex University.
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.
