I offer a warm, respectful, and neuro-affirming counselling space for autistic individuals, whether you are exploring the possibility of being autistic, waiting for a diagnosis, or already diagnosed. You are welcome exactly as you are.

As an autistic counsellor and parent of autistic children, I bring both professional training and lived experience to my work. I understand how important it is to feel truly seen, heard, and accepted, and I aim to create a space where you don’t need to mask or explain yourself.

I have a particular interest in the relationship between autism and trauma, including how experiences such as misunderstanding, overwhelm, or feeling different can impact emotional wellbeing. I work gently and collaboratively to help you make sense of your experiences at your own pace.

My approach is flexible and tailored to you, with sensitivity to communication styles, sensory needs, and individual preferences. I can support with anxiety, burnout, identity, relationships, and navigating daily life, while also recognising and valuing your strengths.

Above all, I aim to offer a space where you feel safe, understood, and empowered to build self-awareness, self-acceptance, and a way of living that feels right for you.
