About me and my therapy practice

Hello, and a warm welcome to you.

I am an experienced integrative therapist offering online counselling sessions for adults and young people aged 14 and over.

I am available for appointments from Monday to Thursday, with both daytime and evening slots.

As an integrative therapist, I draw on various therapeutic styles and techniques to identify the best approach for you. I provide a welcoming, friendly and confidential space where you can be yourself, without fear of judgement.

My work is collaborative; I recognise that each person I work with is unique, with different wants, needs, and hopes for the future. I fundamentally believe that each individual knows themselves best. However, life can present challenges, such as childhood experiences or traumatic events, that may obscure that self-knowledge. My role is to support you in finding your way back to yourself.

Authenticity is incredibly important to me as a therapist. I believe it is possible to maintain professionalism and clear boundaries while creating a warm, safe space fostering curiosity, openness, and compassion.

As someone who has come to understand my own AuDHD identity, I bring this lived experience and insight into my therapeutic practice.

No matter what struggles, emotional distress, or questions have led you here, therapy will be a space where you will feel deeply listened to and supported as you journey towards greater ease and a more fulfilled life. 

Practice description

Having worked within the Health and Social Care sector for over twenty years, I have significant experience of the many difficulties and challenges people encounter.

My aim is to create a compassionate and emotionally safe space that enables you to explore the challenges you may be facing. Through working collaberatively, you can gain a deeper understanding of yourself and uncover new ways to relate to the world.

I have trained in, and work with a range of therapeutic models, including person-centred therapy, relational therapy, DNA-V (Acceptance and Commitment therapy for young people) and brainspotting.

Brainspotting is an innovative brain-body-based therapy that has developed out of EMDR. It works with the deep brain, emotions and experiences that become stuck in our body and prevent us from functioning and living our lives as we want to. It is very helpful for releasing and processing trauma.

I can also offer creative ways of working to help us explore the space beyond words. Using images, stories, and objects can be helpful for coming into contact with parts of us that aren’t so easily accessible to conscious thought.

I am especially interested in working with internal narratives and the benefits of exploring these.

As a late realised AuDHD person, I bring my lived experience, understanding and knowledge into my therapeutic work.

I have extensive experience working in the following areas:

• Autism and ADHD

• addiction and recovery

• work-related issues

• relationship difficulties

• grief and loss

Roles I have carried out in addition to my private therapy practice include:

Service Manager - Adults 12-step residential rehabilitation service and community recovery centre

Service Manager - HMP Drug and Alcohol Recovery Service

Manager - Children and Young People's counselling service

NHS Counsellor - Children and Young People

My first session

Prior to your first session I provide a free initial 15 minute telephone conversation.

This will enable us to meet and for you to get a sense of me and how I work. We will explore what brings you to therapy, what changes you hope to see and gives you an opportunity to see if working with me feels right for you.
