​

​I’m a therapeutic counsellor, a parent carer, with Dyspraxia and late diagnosed ADHD. I understand how heavy life can feel when you’ve been carrying too much for too long

​

 I was first diagnosed with dyspraxia at 28, and later — at 57 — with ADHD. During my counselling training, a tutor gently named what I couldn’t yet see, and with time, research and support, the pieces settled into place.

 

That deep sense of recognition — of finally understanding myself — is something I hold close in my work with others.

 

Alongside my professional training, I’m a parent carer to my son, who has Down’s syndrome, additional needs and severe learning difficulties. Caring for him has taught me about love, exhaustion, advocacy, grief, resilience and starting again — often all at once. I bring both lived experience and professional understanding into my counselling. Healing doesn’t happen in theories - It happens in real, complicated lives.

​

I specialise in working with ADHD and other neurodivergent adults and young people (16+), particularly around masking, burnout, overwhelm, and the feeling of being “too much” or “not enough” in a world that asks us to constantly adapt.

My work is neuro-affirming, compassionate and non-judgemental. This is a space where you don’t need to perform or explain yourself away.

You’re welcome to drop your mask at the door, soften, pause, ​ramble, vent,  sit quietly, or show up exactly as you are.​​​

How I'll support you 

​​

​I work Holistically, meaning I draw from different approaches and shape the work around you — not the other way round.

​​​

At the heart of my work is relationship and understanding. ​​I’m not here to fix you or tell you​ how to be more organised.

I’m here to sit alongside you, help you make sense of what’s going ​on, and support you in a way that actually works for how your mind functions.​​​​​ — reconnecting ​with your inner wisdom, learning to listen to your nervous system, and gently untangling ​patterns that no longer serve you.

​

​

​

​

​​​​​​Alongside talking therapy, I may gently weave in CBT, breath work, EFT (tapping), and NLP, when they feel supportive and grounding. These tools are always offered with care, never imposed, and always adapted to your pace and capacity.

 

We might explore

mindset,

self-belief,

boundaries,

and ways of supporting yourself that feel nourishing rather than demanding.

 

The work is steady, human and collaborative — rooted in compassion, curiosity and respect for your lived experience.

 

I offer both short-term and longer-term counselling, depending on what you need. Some people come with something specific they want to work through; others come because they ​feel disconnected, burnt out, or quietly lost.

 

​My style is warm, down to earth and very human. I have a sense of humour

( lets face it, sometimes, if you don't laugh you will cry),

I swear and  I wont sugar coat things.
I truly believe therapy works best when it feels ​like a real conversation with a real person- not a clinical interrogation.

I'm not here to analyse you, fix you, or tell you how you should be coping. I'm here to listen, get curious with you and walk along side you at your pace.​​​above all,

 

I offer a calm, earthy space where you can breathe out, feel held and come back home to yourself.
