Thank you for reading my profile. My practice is currently full. Do get in touch if you would like to be added to my waiting list.
About me and my therapy practice
I offer online sessions and have particular interest and experience in working with Autism, ADHD and AuDHD (including with those on the pathway to diagnosis or self-diagnosed). My approach is neuro-affirming with an emphasis on understanding and support to help identify strengths and work together on challenges. I provide a warm, non-judgmental and confidential space in which you can talk freely and openly about your life, worries and stresses. I also support parents and carers of neurodivergent children and young people.
About me
I have a Master's degree in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy. I work in a very person-centred way but use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy where this may be helpful, and I also draw on elements of humanistic and psychodynamic theory.
I have been working as a therapist for a number of years across different organisations including the NHS, in a GP surgery, and in a counselling agency. For many years, alongside my private practice, I managed a counselling service for a charity which supports autistic people and their families.
My first session
It is really important that you feel comfortable with your therapist. I offer a free, no-obligation initial 15 minute meeting so that you can decide whether I am the right therapist for you. During this session, you can tell me a little about yourself and what you hope to get from counselling. I can also answer any questions you may have.
