Working hours:

I am currently only available on a Thursday morning, for online only sessions.

Do you often feel overwhelmed by your thoughts, anxious, low, or unsure how to express what you're going through? You might be carrying an invisible weight, putting on a brave face while feeling disconnected, depressed, or lonely inside. Sleep may be elusive, or you may struggle to get out of bed. You might turn to food, alcohol, or habits that offer temporary relief but leave you feeling worse. If you're neurodivergent, perhaps you've spent years trying to fit in, and now the energy to keep pretending is running out.

Relationships may feel confusing or painful, and you might be stuck in cycles of guilt, anger, or self-blame. Perhaps a recent event has shaken you, or you feel an unexplained heaviness. But what if you could stop fighting that internal battle and begin to feel truly seen and heard? Imagine slowing those racing thoughts, lifting the weight just enough to glimpse a new path—one that leads to hope, self-understanding, and a sense of being alive again.

Counselling offers a space where you don’t have to pretend or be “OK.” In a warm, non-judgmental environment, we can explore what’s beneath the surface—uncovering the roots of your distress and the protective patterns you've developed. Together, we’ll gently examine whether those coping mechanisms are still serving you, and work toward meaningful change, growth, and a more authentic way of living.

I am a fully qualified psychodynamic counsellor, holding a Level 4 Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling. A registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, you can be confident that I adhere strictly to their standards and ethical guidelines. 

Having previously worked for 20 years with people with neurodivergence in the field of education and learning, I’ve witnessed how neurodivergence, especially when hidden, impacts mental health. I have experience in adapting my approach to meet individual needs.

Initial consultation sessions are at a reduced rate of £20.00. This session is about finding out your reasons for coming to counselling and getting to know more about you.
