About me
About me
I understand how difficult it can be to reach out for support, especially when you’re already carrying so much. Sometimes taking that first step can feel overwhelming in itself. My aim is to offer a warm, safe and non-judgemental space where you can come exactly as you are, without fear of judgement or pressure.
I am particularly interested in women’s mental health, adult ADHD and the ways our brains, emotions, experiences and hormonal changes can influence how we feel and function in everyday life. You may have recently discovered you have ADHD, be exploring whether ADHD could explain some of your experiences, or simply feel that you struggle with things that seem easier for others.
You might experience emotional overwhelm, difficulties with concentration and organisation, impulsivity, sensitivity to perceived rejection, low self-esteem, overthinking or feeling as though you are constantly trying to keep up. You may find relationships challenging, struggle to manage everyday demands or feel exhausted from masking how difficult things can be.
I am also interested in the connection between ADHD, women’s hormones and perimenopause. Hormonal transitions can coincide with changes in concentration, mood, sleep and emotional wellbeing, sometimes making existing challenges feel harder to manage.
I support people experiencing emotional regulation difficulties and personality-related patterns, including Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder (EUPD), also known as borderline personality disorder (BPD). You may experience intense emotions, difficulties with trust and closeness, sensitivity to rejection, unstable relationship patterns, impulsivity or an uncertain sense of self. Together, we can explore these experiences without judgement and develop practical ways to understand and manage them.
Alongside this, I have experience in trauma-informed practice and supporting people affected by childhood experiences, sexual trauma, domestic abuse, coercive control, emotional abuse and difficult relationships. However, you do not need to have experienced trauma or have a mental health diagnosis to benefit from counselling. You may simply want to understand yourself better, improve your confidence, navigate a challenging period or make changes in your life.
My approach is integrative, compassionate and tailored to you. I draw on my counselling background and trauma-informed somatic training to explore the connections between thoughts, emotions, bodily responses, learned beliefs and coping strategies. We can work towards understanding what is happening beneath the surface while developing practical tools that support meaningful change.
I believe the ways we learn to cope have usually developed for a reason. Rather than judging these responses, we can approach them with curiosity and compassion, helping you recognise patterns, strengthen emotional regulation, develop healthier relationships and build self-esteem.
The therapeutic relationship is at the heart of my work. Feeling safe, heard, respected and genuinely understood matters. There is no expectation that you revisit difficult experiences before you feel ready, and we will work at a pace that feels right for you.
My role isn’t to tell you who you should be. It is to walk alongside you as you develop a deeper understanding of yourself, reconnect with your strengths and discover new ways of moving forward.
You don’t need to have all the answers or know where to begin. You can simply come as you are, and we’ll take it one step at a time, together.

Abuse Recovery & Breaking Unhealthy Relationship Patterns
Reclaiming Your Worth, Rewriting the Story
Surviving abuse - whether emotional, physical, sexual, or psychological - can leave deep wounds that linger long after the relationship ends. These experiences can shake your sense of safety, identity, and trust - not only in others but in yourself. Healing from abuse is not just about “moving on”; it’s about coming home to yourself, restoring your voice, and gently untangling the beliefs and behaviours that may have formed in the aftermath.

Further information
I work in a calm, private, and confidential setting designed to help clients feel safe and at ease. Sessions are offered in person and online, depending on individual needs and preferences. My way of working is relational, trauma-informed, and paced carefully around each client. I prioritise safety, consent, and choice, and there is no pressure to share more than feels manageable. I work ethically and within my scope of practice, with appropriate safeguarding procedures in place. Regular supervision and ongoing professional development support safe and reflective practice.
