Welcome to my website! I’m glad you’re here.
I am a UK-based neurodivergent online therapist specialising in neurodiversity affirmative trauma-informed therapy for autistic, ADHD, AuDHD, people identifying as neurodivergent, Highly Sensitive People & otherwise neurodivergent adults navigating burnout, trauma, masking, overwhelm & late diagnosis. My work is neurodiversity affirming & adapted to how neurodivergent brains work.
In my practice, I offer a space where you can feel deeply listened to and understood. Together, we take time to gently tune in to your experiences and explore what they might be showing or asking of you. Often, this process brings moments of clarity or insight that can open the way towards new ways of being.
With greater awareness, you may find yourself feeling more connected, free, and able to live in a way that feels meaningful and true to you. Rather than giving advice or directing your choices, my role is to offer a space for open, honest reflection a space where your feelings, thoughts, and ideas can be met with curiosity and compassion. The challenges that bring you to therapy often hold valuable information; together, we can explore them at a pace that feels safe and manageable.
Sessions are available weekly or more flexibly, for short-term or longer-term work, depending on what feels right for you. I currently work with clients remotely.
People come to therapy for many different reasons; perhaps due to painful or confusing experiences, feelings of being stuck or dissatisfied, difficulty making decisions, or simply a longing for change. Sometimes, it’s about having a space to be with someone who will offer genuine presence and deep listening.
Our relationship within therapy can be an important part of the process. How we relate and respond to one another in the present moment can offer insights into the patterns that shape relationships in your life more broadly. This awareness can help you approach yourself and others with more understanding and compassion.
While we can’t always choose the circumstances life brings, we do have some choice in how we respond. By bringing curiosity to your feelings and responses, you can begin to move towards a sense of self-ownership and alignment with your core values, living in a way that feels more grounded, intentional, and authentically yours.
I have been offering one to one counselling and doing group work with neurodivergent people since 2012 and my Master's research was about working therapeutically with neurodivergent people. I bring both professional and personal understanding to this work. I mostly work with diagnosed ND people and people identifying as neurodivergent, as well as highly sensitive people.

My approach specialises in:
I offer a warm, collaborative, relational and down‑to‑earth approach. Offering a deeply validating space focused on self‑understanding and nervous system regulation. My work is neurodiversity‑affirming and trauma‑informed. Many people may have experienced therapy previously that has meant that they feel misunderstood in therapy, pathologised, rather than supported, like they were "too much" or "not enough". My work centres on creating a space where you don't have to perform or translate for yourself.
Many neurodivergent people live with a nervous system that feels more easily overwhelmed. You might notice that stress, sensory input, or social interaction can quickly tip you into anxiety, agitation, or shutdown. This experience is often described as having a narrower window of tolerance: a smaller range in which the nervous system feels settled, flexible, and able to cope.
My work draws on Polyvagal Theory, developed by Dr. Stephen Porges. This framework explains how our autonomic nervous system continually scans for safety and influences how we respond: socially, emotionally, and physically.
In simple terms, our nervous system moves between three states:
This can mean moving into hyperarousal or hypoarousal more quickly, and it may take longer or more support to come back to regulation. However, there is wide individual variation, and environment makes a big difference: supportive, sensory-aware, autonomy-respecting contexts can effectively “widen” someone’s window over time, whereas chronic stress, invalidation, or inaccessible environments can narrow it further. In therapy, we can explore simple, sensory-friendly ways to help your nervous system find calm, tailored to what feels right for you.

I value diversity in all its forms. I was raised in a neurodivergent, mixed heritage family in London, United Kingdom. I strive to ensure non-discrimination and inclusivity. I am neurodiversity and LGBTQ+ affirming and I am anti-racist. I acknowledge the places where I hold privilege, power, and biases and I am committed to working on these. I am also committed to on going learning, continued professional development, training and clinical supervision to continue to grow and develop as a practitioner and human being.
“People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be. When I look at a sunset, I don't find myself saying, "Soften the orange a bit on the right hand corner." I don't try to control a sunset. I watch with awe as it unfolds.”― Carl R. Rogers, A Way of Being
