Face-to-face and online sessions available both during the day and evenings. Please contact me to check availability.

I was brought into the world of counselling when I needed help understanding why I was so punishing of myself. My punishing came in the form of - self-loathing, not looking after myself, being destructive in relationships and friendships and often feeling very angry or very sad.

On the outside I was high-achieving, came from a 'in-tact' family, looked well but on the inside I was struggling. The number of times I would end up asking myself 'what's wrong with me?' I had lost count of.

When I started in therapy it took me a long time to figure out that I had deep attachment wounds, emotionally unavailable family members and undiagnosed ADHD.

I offer clients the space and time to understand their own past and present experience and patterns of behaviour. Clients, much like me, might not know what their drivers are until they begin to explore these parts of themselves. Throughout our lives we pick up learnt behaviours, beliefs, perspectives both consciously and unconsciously and until you have the space to unlearn these and unpack them we live in a constant state of 'repeat'.

My personal experience of neurodivergence and ADHD gives me an awareness and understanding of individuals living with or individuals living alongside this neurodivergent umbrella. My neuroaffirmative approach offers tools and helpful strategies to support clients and family members.

Alongside private practice, I work within NHS Talking Therapies and at Mind Hertfordshire. My work is grounded in ongoing training, clinical experience, and evidence-based practice.

Who do I work with:

I offer individual therapy sessions for adults aged 18 and older. My practice is fully inclusive, welcoming people of all neurotypes, backgrounds, and life experiences.

What Therapy with me offers:

The therapy I offer provides a transformative space to move beyond overwhelm and find your way back to balance. By deconstructing the "protective habits" of anxiety and perfectionism, we create the internal shifts needed for a powerful reconnection with your true self. Rather than struggling against the world, you’ll learn to quiet the mental chatter for better sleep and shift your perspective on challenging relationships. This process creates a lasting ripple effect, trading the pressure of being perfect for a life of inner peace, authentic connection, and self-alignment.

How I Work:

My integrative approach combines CBT with psychodynamic therapy to explore how your past shapes your present. I offer trauma-informed, ADHD strategic support and integrative therapy within frameworks to help you reconnect with yourself and build healthier relationships. I believe therapy should be a warm, neuro-affirmative space where we honour your unique nature rather than trying to "fix" it. By bridging deep self-exploration with practical tools, I help you move through overwhelm toward a sustainable life of clarity.

If you hear yourself in any of this paragraph, I believe we can work together:

"I struggle to understand my behavioural patterns and feel like I'm holding myself back. It is hard to show up authentically because I am stuck in cycles of people-pleasing, self-criticism, and perfectionist overthinking that keeps me awake at night. I want to process a difficult childhood, navigate complicated family relationships, and move on from past trauma so it no longer rules my life.

Additionally, I need a space to explore a suspected or recent ADHD diagnosis and learn practical tools to cope."

***PLEASE VISIT MY WEBSITE FOR MORE DETAILED INFORMATION ON SESSIONS AND FAQS ***

In the first session, usually, the client goes into what they are hoping to achieve in therapy in more detail. There is no formal assessment in the session, time is used as the client wishes and I hold in mind any gaps of information and aim to cover these informally during the session. Building rapport and a therapeutic relationship is paramount to the work I do with clients and these first few sessions are aimed to let the client settle and go at their own pace. This looks different for every client. 

Other useful details regarding starting: 

I offer a free 30 minute consultation session either online or on the telephone so that the client and myself can see if we might work therapeutically together. In this shorter session I also ask some questions about the client's history and what has brought them to counselling. 

The first session and subsequent sessions will cost £80. Details of confidentiality, risk assessment, payment procedures, cancellation policy, holidays and absences are outlined in my counselling contract which the client receives when we have agreed to work together.
