I wonder how it is for you right now, maybe it's difficult to find the right words to explain how you're feeling? That's why I offer psychotherapy where creative materials and expression (art making, clay, sound, drama, poetry, sand play) can be used in session, helping you to find new perspectives and a safe ‘container’ in which we explore what is going on for you. I work with you to discover where you are right now; what may be stuck or holding you back and how to move forward. I believe the therapy journey is created together, where we explore what works best for you in session.

Discover Your True Self and Thrive with Specialized Counselling Are you an adult who suspects you may have ADHD or Autism, or perhaps you've recently received an official diagnosis? Many individuals uncover these facets of their identity later in life, often prompted by a lifelong sense of being different from others. Whether you're on a journey of self-discovery or already armed with a diagnosis, it's natural to experience a wide range of emotions – from anxiety, overwhelm, and depression to confusion about your path forward. How has this revelation impacted your relationships with others?

Living in the world can sometimes bring difficulties. Loss and bereavement, relationship problems, isolation and loneliness, addiction, infidelity, lack of purpose, and questions of sexuality are some of these: anger, shame, sadness, escapism, losing our way or simply putting ones head-in-the-sand are ways that we respond. When this begins to interfere with the quality of how we live, we may seek counselling. We want to live better.

No matter what brings you to the process of looking for a therapist, welcome! Counselling shouldn’t be a copy and paste experience; you feeling seen and heard in the therapeutic relationship we share is my top priority. You take the lead in what we do together, and I will adapt my practice to meet your needs. I celebrate difference and have held space for clients from all backgrounds and expressions. I recognise the impact of oppression and marginalisation and aim to provide an environment where you can feel safe to discuss any issue. No issue is too big or too small, and I will accompany you through that exploration.

Therapy can be transformative - so why struggle alone? Whether you are in deep emotional pain, anxious, stressed or perhaps frustrated with your life, exploring the issues in a safe setting can be empowering. In a world that can feel frantic yet lonely, it's hard to dedicate time to yourself. But you are important: you deserve an opportunity to reassess 'how you got here', to be more self-aware and find ways to be truly happy. I offer the chance to be really heard - with empathy and without judgement - in total confidence. We'll work together to understand what is troubling you at a depth, duration and pace that feel right to you.

If you are feeling unclear on what to do next, lacking the tools or focus to make the changes you need or feeling isolated because you are unable to discuss your feelings openly about how you can make the changes you need that can result in patterns of unhelpful thoughts, feelings and reactions to those around you.

I believe that talking to a trained, professional counsellor in a safe, confidential place can help everyone to understand why they are struggling to cope with modern life challenges. Working with clients, I respect the client’s diagnosis, however instead of keeping my client in that defined “box of diagnosis” and “deal with” it, I tend to try to discover the invisible links between the different parts (past and present) of the client’s life. For me the meaning of successful counselling is not measured by a specific achievement. It is a slow, constantly changing progress of how my clients think and feel about themselves and others.
