Embrace Empower Evolve
We embrace your story and your journey. In a safe, warm and non-judgemental space, we explore you as you are, the difficulties you are facing, where you may want to be. I will listen, reflect and be alongside you. This can take as long as it takes as we look to build trust, safety and security.
We then empower you through using evidence-based tools and techniques from different therapies; cognitive-behavioural, acceptance and commitment and compassion-focused. It can be a range of tools we use as our work together is based on you and what you need; talking, activities, teaching or using creativity as a means moving through troubling and difficult times – growing through what you’re going through to, eventually, evolve.
Alongside this, I make sure that my practice is
Neuro-affirming
As an individual with ADHD, I’m very aware of the differences and challenges that neurodivergent individuals have to face on a day-to-day. Neurodivergence is a spectrum and it does not appear the same in every person who is ASC or ADHD. Areas such as masking, executive functioning, object permanence, alexithymia, rejection sensitivity (I could go on) are all welcomed, embraced and considered in our journey together.
Trauma-informed
Trauma is a deep-rooted and often unconscious wound that impacts an individuals perception of themselves, their relationships and the world around them. It can also be something that we are conscious of, being aware of the impact it has had. This can appear as many surface difficulties, such as anger, anxiety, depression, dissociation/withdrawal. To be trauma-informed means I am guided by the principles of security, trust, choice, empowerment, collaboration and respect for you.
GSRD (Gender, Sex, Relationship Diversity) inclusive
Over time, as we explore further into your life experiences, alongside my professional knowledge and experiences, we can help to expand on your mind and introduce the potential to be your most authentic and unapologetic self. This aids our nervous system to release our fears and anxiety, building an overall sense of mental, emotional and physical wellbeing.

It is not easy, neither is it a ‘quick fix’,
though what’s worthwhile does not come easy.
I offer in-person, online, telephone and text support. I believe that wellbeing support should be as accessible as it can be, considering various circumstances that can be a barrier.

I offer a sliding scale rate for students, job seekers and low income.
I offer an initial FREE 15 minute consultation which is an opportunity to meet and see whether you feel I am a good fit for you. This is then followed by a pre-arranged 30-minute assessment to establish what you wish to work on or gain from our time together.
