About us

As a neurodivergent counsellor, I’m aware I think differently and this brings a uniqueness to my therapy. It also means I see, welcome, and validate other ways of thinking and processing and am used to adapting my processes.

I work with a range of different issues, including anxiety, relationships and attachment, trauma, depression, careers, and body image. I welcome people who haven’t quite found a therapy that works for them just yet and who want to embrace a creative approach.

I believe in creating a therapy space where you feel safe to be yourself and can go at your own pace. No expectations, no judgements, just room to be heard and space to explore your mind.

I work in an integrative way which basically means I’ve studied different ways of providing therapy and draw on the right ones at the right times.

These include person centred, gestalt, psychosynthesis, transpersonal, polyvagal, and attachment focused. I’m also trained and experienced in hypnotherapy and yoga teaching which, although they aren’t part of my integrative therapy, means I have an extended understanding of consciousness, the nervous system, and the way the body remembers and holds trauma.

I have additional training and knowledge in GSRD, spirituality, narcissistic relationships, dissociation, Autism, and ADHD.

Member organisations *

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.

We have verified that at least one professional at this organisation is registered with the relevant professional body.
