I offer a safe space where you identify any learnt messages and separate them from who you really are, not who you have become, by trying to conform and please the world and others. Through a Neuro-affirmative therapeutic lens, I support you in recognising and celebrating your differences while understanding the effect of social expectations and judgements on how you view those differences. You are the expert on you, but you may have just lost your voice. “The curious paradox is that when I accept myself, just as I am, then I can change.” - Carl Rogers

I am an integrative counsellor; my initial core training was in the person-centred model, but I also have training and experience in cognitive behaviour therapy, gestalt, and creative methods. I use psychoeducation, lived experience and my natural strengths, such as cognitive understanding and pattern-finding, to help you gain new insights and awareness.

I qualified as a counsellor in 2007 and have continued my practice and training since then. I am currently a PhD student researching counselling and psychotherapy.
I will be accepting supervisees from June onwards. I will obviously offer a reduced rate while I complete my hours and then charge full price once they are completed.
I'm afraid initially I will only be accepting already qualified counsellors.
I am Autistic and I have ADHD and primarily work with AuDHD clients, but not exclusively. I was the first in the UK to publish a peer-reviewed study, looking into the experiences of autistic counsellors, which explored autistic strengths and called for more representation and inclusion within the counselling profession - https://doi.org/10.1002/capr.12839
Supervision will be only available on Thursdays, 10am - 4pm.
Please drop me an email if you wish to be placed on the waiting list. Limited places available.
