About me

Are you living with ADHD, Autism, AuDHD, PMDD, or chronic illness? Traditional talking therapy doesn’t work for everyone; I offer something different.

I am a neurodivergent therapist who provides evidence-based, compassionate therapy tailored to you. Many of my clients come to me feeling misunderstood or stuck. Here, you’ll find a space where you feel truly seen and supported.

I am trained in Hypnotherapy, Integrative Psychotherapy, IFS (Internal Family Systems) and relationship therapy. I adapt these tools to your unique needs to help you connect with your inner resources, process challenges in new ways, and find strategies that actually work for you. 

Let’s see if we’re a good fit; book a free 15-minute phone consultation today.

Training, qualifications & experience

I trained as a Hypno-Psychotherapist with the National College of Hypno-Psychotherapy (NCHP), I am a member of the CNHC, NSTT and Hypnotherapist Council. I have a deep interest in nature and have training in eco-psychology with Natural Academy. I bring my gorgeous dog, Olive, to in-person sessions whenever possible for animal therapy. 

Additionally, I have over ten years of experience working with Neurodivergent individuals. I have worked within the rape crisis organisation and with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder advocacy for many years. 

My experience as a therapist has primarily been working with complex PTSD and neurodivergence. I work with individuals and couples.
