I'm a neurodivergent BACP-accredited counsellor and EMDR Europe-accredited practitioner, offering therapy to adults (18+) online across the UK and beyond.

Much of my work is with autistic and other neurodivergent adults, and I bring both lived experience and clinical training to my practice. I understand many of the experiences that can accompany neurodivergence: the exhaustion of masking, sensory overwhelm, feeling misunderstood, or the uncertainty that can follow a late diagnosis or self-discovery.

I offer a warm, collaborative and neurodiversity-affirming space where you're met as you are, without assumptions about how you should think, feel or communicate. My approach is grounded in counselling first, taking time to understand your experiences within the context of your life rather than simply focusing on symptoms.

Alongside counselling, I offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing). EMDR helps the brain and nervous system make sense of experiences that continue to influence the present, allowing them to become integrated into your wider life story rather than remaining emotionally or physiologically overwhelming. Many experiences common within autistic lives may not always be recognised as trauma, yet they can still leave a lasting impact. EMDR offers an alternative way of working with these experiences, without relying solely on talking them through. I adapt the therapy to suit the way neurodivergent minds work, including the pacing, communication style and sensory environment.

Sessions are held securely online, allowing you to access therapy from wherever you feel most comfortable.

I offer a free 15-minute consultation with no obligation. It's simply an opportunity to ask questions, discuss what you're looking for, and decide whether working together feels like the right fit.
