About me

Welcome & How I Can Help

Life, work, and major transitions can often leave us feeling anxious and exhausted. As a UKCP-accredited person-centred counsellor and psychotherapist, I provide a safe, respectful, and non-judgmental space where you can drop the pressure to conform, let your guard down, and explore what truly matters to you.

My approach is collaborative and client-led. I don't offer one-size-fits-all solutions or generic advice; instead, we work together at a pace that feels completely authentic to you.

Specialising in Analytical, Creative & Neurodivergent Minds

Many of the adults I work with are in creative or tech industries, or identify as neurodivergent (including Autism and ADHD). I specialise in offering an adaptable, affirming environment that respects how your mind uniquely processes the world.

Together, we can work through:

  • Anxiety, Overwhelm & Intrusive Thoughts: Finding calm and managing inner pressure.
  • Burnout & Perfectionism: Setting healthy boundaries and releasing high-stress expectations.
  • Neurodivergent Identity: Navigating a world built for neurotypical minds and building self-compassion.
  • Childhood Trauma & Relational Patterns: Processing past experiences to feel grounded today.
  • Life Transitions & Illness Support: Navigating grief, major life shifts, or chronic conditions/oncology support.
     

Taking the First Step

Reaching out for therapy takes courage, and you don’t need to have all the answers figured out before you contact me.

I offer a free 15-minute video consultation. This is a relaxed, no-obligation opportunity for us to meet, talk about what you're hoping to get out of therapy, and see if we're a good fit to work together.

Please send me a message using the email button on this profile to arrange a time.
