About me and my practice
I'm an accredited and highly skilled integrative therapist with extensive experience supporting clients in making meaningful and lasting changes in their lives. Over the years, I have worked with a wide range of individuals, many of whom have discovered new ways to cope, grow, and move forward.
My areas of expertise include trauma, relationship challenges, neurodivergent-focused therapy, stress and anxiety, and coping with grief and loss. My approach is grounded in creating a safe, open, and accepting space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings freely.
I understand that seeking therapy takes courage, and I am here to guide, support, and empower you on your journey toward greater self-understanding, resilience, and a more fulfilling life.

Qualifications
Foundation Degree Counselling
Bachelor's Degree Counselling
Alongside my clinical work, I am committed to ongoing learning and professional growth. I regularly complete specialist training in areas such as neurodivergent-affirming practice, trauma and complex trauma, grief (including pregnancy and infant loss), eating disorders, crisis response, and mindfulness-based approaches. I am also undertaking a Masters degree in Psychology and Mental Health (currently on a study break), which continues to deepen my knowledge of contemporary psychological theory and practice.
Additional Information
I offer both short- and long-term therapy and tailor my approach to your individual needs and pace. Building a safe, trusting therapeutic relationship is central to my work.
My style is warm, collaborative, and compassionate, with space for both emotional exploration and practical strategies where helpful.
I aim to provide a neurodivergent-affirming environment and can adapt communication style and session structure to support different processing and sensory needs. I am also committed to offering an inclusive, respectful space for people of all backgrounds, identities, cultures, genders, sexualities, and relationship styles.
Clients often come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure why things feel so difficult. Together, we work to build understanding, resilience, and self-compassion, supporting meaningful and lasting change. I work within professional ethical guidelines, attend regular clinical supervision, and engage in ongoing professional development.
