About me and my therapy practice
I am a fully qualified, (BSc (Hons), Dip. Counselling, M糖心官网) professionally registered Psychotherapist and counsellor. I am also a Clinical Supervisor and provide Supervision to other therapists in practice (specialising in the TA and integrative approach).
My specialist area is working with neurodivergence (either self diagnosed or officially).
Do you feel like you鈥檝e spent most of your life masking 鈥 trying to appear 鈥渇ine鈥 while inside you鈥檙e overwhelmed, exhausted, or constantly overthinking?
You might relate to:
馃 Racing thoughts or executive dysfunction
馃寠 Sensory overwhelm or shutdown
馃敟 Cycles of burnout
馃挰 Struggling to communicate your needs
馃挃 Rejection sensitivity or intense self-criticism
馃幁 Masking so well that other people don鈥檛 see how much you鈥檙e struggling
馃暟 Grief, anger or confusion around a late ADHD or autism diagnosis
I offer neurodivergent-affirmative therapy for adults, and I also bring lived experience into my work. I understand how complex it can feel 鈥 the relief of recognition, the frustration of being misunderstood, the years of wondering 鈥渨hy is this so hard for me?鈥
In our work together, you don鈥檛 have to perform, mask, or explain yourself from scratch. Therapy can be a space where you鈥檙e supported to:
鈥 Understand your nervous system and overwhelm
鈥 Work with executive functioning challenges compassionately
鈥 Explore identity, diagnosis and late-realisation grief
鈥 Reduce shame and build self-trust
鈥 Unmask safely and at your own pace
Above all, I aim to offer a space where you can simply be yourself 鈥 without judgement, without pressure to be 鈥渓ess鈥 or 鈥渕ore鈥 of who you are.
If you鈥檙e looking for therapy that understands neurodivergence from both professional training and lived experience, you鈥檙e welcome to get in touch.
My first session
My first session is an intitial consultation where I will get to know you. I may ask you to complete a couple of short assessment exercises to help me understand your brain and personality a little better. I will then work with you to make a treatment plan that you are happy with going forward. We will also agree how we will work together, including how often we will meet and via which platform (e.g online once per week.)

About me and my therapy practice
I offer clinical supervision at an accessible price, ideal for students and trainee therapists. I use a Humanistic Integrative perspective with Transactional Analysis as my core modality, which would suit supervisees from a similar approach or background, but I am happy to have supervisees from all areas of the field.
I have a wide range of professional experience to draw upon and I take a warm and empathetic, but also firm and challenging approach to supervision as I believe this is the optimal way to encourage development and growth in practice.
