Hello, and welcome

 I’m a counsellor and coach, a mum, and the co-founder of a community interest company supporting neurodivergent adults and families.

About me and why I do this work

I came into counselling through my own personal struggles and discovered how life-changing it can be to be in a relationship where you are not judged, not expected to mask or please anyone, and can simply be yourself.

That experience shaped the way I work. I want the people who come to me to feel seen, understood, and safe enough to take a breath and be honest about what is really going on for them.

Before becoming a counsellor, I spent several years working in the care and mental health sector, supporting adults with learning disabilities and complex needs. This gave me a strong grounding in person-centred, compassionate support, something that runs through everything I do.

Clients often describe me as down to earth, honest, and non-judgemental. I bring those qualities naturally into the room.

I am also a mum, and I know first-hand how tough, lonely, and overwhelming parenting can feel, especially when neurodivergence is part of the picture.

Neurodivergence is an area I am deeply passionate about, both personally and professionally. My daughter was diagnosed with ADHD and autism as a teenager after many years of trying to understand why things felt so much harder for her. Her journey helped me recognise that I had been masking most of my life, and I later received my own ADHD diagnosis myself.

I understand the mix of grief, confusion, and relief that can come with late recognition. I work with many adults exploring identity, self-understanding, and self-acceptance through this lens, including parents trying to support their children while making sense of their own experiences.

I also support people who have experienced trauma or distressing events using a gentle, contained, and individual approach. I am trained in the Rewind Technique, which can be a non-intrusive way of processing traumatic memories without needing to talk through every detail. This can be particularly helpful for people who find speaking about trauma overwhelming or re-triggering.
