I am a neurodivergent-affirming counselling psychologist who has trained in a variety of evidence-based therapeutic modalities. I work pluralistically. In practice, this means I work with each client in a tailored way, depending on their needs and preferences. I might draw on humanistic approaches such as person-centred and existential therapy, third-wave approaches such as compassion-focused therapy (CFT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) or relational psychodynamic therapy to guide our sessions. I also welcome approaches that consider, power, marginalisation and oppression and how this informs and impacts your experiences.

I welcome neurodivergent clients, including autistic, ADHD, dyslexic, dyspraxic, and otherwise neurodivergent people. As a neuroaffirming psychologist:

• I do not view neurodivergence as something to be fixed but rather as a difference.

• I adapt communication, pace, environment and structure, where helpful

• I am explicit rather than relying on unspoken expectations

• I respect sensory, emotional, and cognitive differences

• I recognise the impact of masking, burnout, and invalidation

As a trauma-informed psychologist, I prioritise your emotional and psychological safety, personal choice, and autonomy.

You are not expected to behave or communicate in a particular way in therapy.

Each person's story is unique and it's vital your voice is central to your therapy journey. Psychotherapy is not a magic bullet, but you stand a better chance with the right therapist. We’ll work together to understand what’s troubling you and what you wish to achieve, developing a therapeutic relationship that suits you. What's important is that you feel welcomed and included in the therapy space, no matter your identity, circumstances or how you define yourself.

Having a good, healthy therapeutic relationship can transform your relationships with yourself, the world, and others and help you process your experiences to build a more hopeful and meaningful future. I know how difficult reaching out can be. I’m here to take that journey with you, offering a neutral space to help you navigate life's changes and challenges. I’ll be beside you each step of the way.
