Psychotherapy

Main information

Service categories: Counselling and therapies

I am a Consultant Clinical Psychologist and Relational Psychotherapist offering specialist psychotherapy for neurodivergent adults struggling with late diagnosis and/or trauma. I am neurodivergent, friendly and warm.

My work is particularly suited to people who:

  • Have found previous therapy misattuned, overly structured, or difficult to engage with
  • Experience emotional overwhelm, shutdown, or dissociation
  • Are navigating trauma alongside neurodivergence (including CPTSD)
  • Have received multiple or conflicting diagnoses
  • Find it hard to translate internal experience into conventional therapeutic language

I offer depth-oriented psychotherapy that integrates:

  • Parts-based work (IFS-informed)
  • Trauma-focused and somatic awareness
  • Coaching for harm-reduction (addictions; self-harm; toxic relationships; limerence)

Therapy is paced carefully and collaboratively, without pressure to perform, explain, or fit a particular model of change.
