Counselling gives you a safe and supportive space to slow down, reflect and make sense of the things that feel overwhelming, painful or confusing.
Many of the adults I work with are carrying years of stress, trauma, masking, burnout or emotional exhaustion. You do not have to face any of it alone.
My approach is warm, honest and neurodivergent affirming. I work in a way that is grounded, gentle and centred around your needs, not a textbook or fixed method.
Every person is different, and your therapy should reflect that.
Take the first step towards a happier and healthier life. Contact me today to schedule your first appointment.

I work with adults who are experiencing:
• overwhelm and burnout
• anxiety or emotional overload
• trauma or distressing experiences
• masking, identity confusion or late diagnosis
• relationship or family difficulties
• low self worth and internal criticism
• difficulties with boundaries
• neurodivergence, including ADHD and autism
You do not need to have everything figured out before you start counselling. Many people come to me unsure of where to begin. We take it step by step.
I offer counselling that is:
Person centred
You decide the pace, focus and direction.
Warm and down to earth
No jargon, no judgement, no pressure to perform.
Neurodivergence affirming
A space where you do not have to mask, explain yourself or shrink parts of who you are.
Trauma informed
We go at a pace that feels safe. You have full control at all times.
Flexible and grounded
Some weeks you may want to talk, others you may want reflection, grounding, practical tools or gentler support.
I support people who have experienced trauma, childhood wounds or distressing events using a gentle and contained approach.
I am trained in the Rewind Technique, which allows you to process traumatic memories without needing to relive every detail. Many clients find this approach helpful when talking feels too overwhelming or re triggering.
A large part of my work is supporting neurodivergent adults who are burnt out, misunderstood or exhausted from trying to cope in systems that are not designed for them.
Late diagnosis can bring relief, frustration and grief.
Together we can explore identity, emotions, relationships and self acceptance in a way that feels validating and empowering.
Inner child work is a gentle way of understanding the younger parts of you that experienced hurt, confusion or emotional neglect. These parts often influence how we cope today, especially around confidence, relationships, boundaries and self worth.
Creative therapy helps when words feel difficult, overwhelming or too exposing. Through imagery, drawing, story work or simple creative tools, we explore your emotions in a safe and grounded way.
This work is especially supportive for neurodivergent adults who learned to mask, people please or silence themselves growing up. Together we go at your pace, creating space for healing, compassion and understanding without reliving trauma.
You can expect a space where you can:
• be fully yourself
• talk honestly without worrying about judgement
• understand your emotions and inner world
• unpack patterns that are keeping you stuck
• feel supported in making sense of your life
• explore change at a pace that feels right for you
Sessions last 50 minutes and take place online or in person.
Struggles in relationships can leave you feeling hurt, confused or disconnected. Whether you are navigating conflict, emotional distance, intimacy issues or recovering after betrayal, counselling can help you understand the patterns at play and explore how to rebuild trust and connection.
Anxiety, low mood, depression or stress can impact every part of your life. You may feel overwhelmed, numb or not like yourself. Therapy gives you space to unpack what is going on underneath and find ways to cope and move forward.
Sex and intimacy can be deeply personal and often difficult to talk about. Whether you are facing desire differences, shame, painful experiences or you are exploring identity or kink, this is a safe and non judgemental space to explore these themes openly.
Parenting can be rewarding but also incredibly challenging. You may be struggling with burnout, guilt, neurodivergent parenting or feeling like you have lost your sense of self. Counselling offers space to reflect, feel supported and find your voice again.
Finding out about an affair, or being the one who has had one, can bring up huge emotions such as anger, grief, shame and confusion. Therapy can help you make sense of what has happened and decide what comes next, whether individually or as a couple.
Sometimes past experiences continue to affect how you think, feel or relate to others. You may not see it as trauma, but if something feels stuck in your mind or body, we can explore this gently. I also offer the Rewind Technique for processing trauma without needing to relive it in detail.
Anxiety can show up as racing thoughts, restlessness, overthinking or feeling constantly on edge. You may not always know why it happens, which can make it harder. Counselling helps us explore the root of your anxiety and build tools that help you feel more in control.
If you put others first, say yes when you mean no, or feel guilty for having needs, you may be stuck in people pleasing. This often comes from needing to feel safe or avoid conflict. In therapy we explore where these patterns began and how to set boundaries that protect your wellbeing without guilt.
