About me and my therapy practice
I offer online therapy to adults who want or need a safe, non-judgemental space to explore their feelings and experiences. Starting therapy can feel daunting, especially if this is your first experience of feeling heard and accepted. We will move at a pace that feels right for you.
I specialise in working with neurodivergent adults, particularly those with lesser-known neurodivergent profiles, helping them feel heard, understood, and accepted. My work also focuses on the emotional impact and trauma that can come with navigating life as a neurodivergent person, including rejection, exclusion and the lasting effects of feeling different or unseen.
I also have a particular interest in supporting adults who have experienced childhood difficulties and may struggle with relationships or low self-worth.
Practice description
I am an integrative therapist, drawing mainly from psychodynamic and person-centred theory. We can explore how past experiences influence present patterns or stay in the here and now depending on your needs, wishes and presenting issues.
I believe the therapeutic relationship is central to the work, and I aim to offer a consistent, supportive space where trust can develop over time. Sessions take place at the same time and place every week in order to create a reliable and containing space.
Sessions are led by you, giving you space and agency to decide what feels important to focus on. I understand this can feel difficult at times, and I will be there to support you throughout the process. I am open to exploring non-verbal approaches if words feel stuck or hard to access.
I hope to understand your experience and support you in coming to your own answers.
My first session
Prior to our first session, I offer a free 15-minute call to help us get to know each other, answer any questions and support you in deciding whether I am the right therapist for you.
We will spend time going over the contract in the first session so you know what to expect from therapy. I may also ask you questions about your past and present experience to help inform our work.
