Please get in touch through BACP or via my website to get more up to date information on availability as this can vary. 

I endeavour to be as flexible as I can offering weekly, fortnightly, or ad hoc appointments during the week and also on Sundays. ​

I am a Neurodivergent (Autistic, ADHD, Synaesthesic) Neuroaffirming Psychotherapist and Psychoeducator. I specialise in working with discovering, diagnosed, and self-realised Neurodivergent adults (18+), and Neurodivergent parents.

Finding the right therapist can be really tough. Many Neurodivergent folks have experienced a lot of complex trauma, and some of that trauma may be from family, relationships, education, or health professionals, or even sometimes other therapists who lack the knowledge and lived experience of neurodivergence. 

My therapeutic work is relational, encompassing somatic, creative, parts work, and person-centred approaches. It is about enabling a validating and genuinely affirming and inclusive environment to talk or express whatever you need. 

A lot of clients want a mix of neurodivergent psychoeducation as well as therapy to really understand and unlayer their authentic selves, as well as uncovering and shaking off that shame dust. I am a big believer that therapists should work with the whole self, not just the mind. This means understanding how our environments and experiences impact body, mind, and relationships.

Genuine authenticity as a therapist, is really important to me. I am a tad sweary, I am curious and open, and I am as transparent as is needed at any time. I am boundaried and professional, acutely conscious of creating unique safe spaces for individual clients, but therapy shouldn't exclude feeling joy and being 'real'. This can be a different experience for some clients who expect or have experience of someone more formal and closed.

My therapeutic approach is ever evolving as I am always learning At its heart, it is neuroaffirming, humanistic, and relational having studied a degree in person-centred psychotherapy at University of Warwick. Lots of my clients haven't often (if ever) felt truly heard, believed, or understood, and my aim with any meeting is to develop an environment that is as safe as can be and to offer an authentic and validating space to share whatever needs to be shared.

 I believe therapeutic work should be holistic, working from a physiological and psychological framework. The mind is not separate from the body, and understanding how our nervous system, in particular, works and impacts our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours can be incredibly useful to work out ways to heal, replenish, and nourish. I am passionate about continuing to learn and learn from lived experience.

I also head up the counselling services for Autistic Parents UK, and as a neurodivergent parent myself, working with other neurodivergent parents has been a really integral part of my practice. Being a neurodivergent parent (usually to neurodivergent children) can bring unique joys and unique challenges in a society with 'normative' expectations. 

I love to write, and I am also a sessional lecturer and training consultant for various Universities and Colleges, specialising in teaching trainee therapists and counsellors all about Neurodivergence and Neuroaffirming practice.

I bring the real me to the therapeutic relationship, I bring genuine authenticity and transparency. I can't promise I am the right therapist for you, but I can say that I will be open and curious to truly listen and understand, to genuinely validate your experiencing, and I will endeavour to create the safe and inclusive space you need to explore what it means to be you. 

Our first session is always free. It is usually a 20 - 30 minute online meet where I can get a better understanding of what you are looking for in therapy or psychoeducation and for you to get to know me and my approach a little better.

Meeting anyone for the first time is daunting for us neurodivergent folk, (I include me in this!). It is important to me that my clients feel as safe and as relaxed as they can be in this first meeting. If you don't want the camera on, that is ok. If you would prefer to use the chat function, that is ok. 

Do take a look at my website, which will hopefully give you a bit more of an idea of who I am, and how I work, and feel free to get in touch if that feels like it could work for you.
