Therapy - encompasses both counselling and psychotherapy
Counselling and Psychotherapy often overlap and are used interchangeably. Counselling focuses on supporting you with a particular problem or at a time of crisis and is usually shorter term. Psychotherapy involves looking at your experience more widely, with the aim of helping you develop awareness about how your past experiences maybe contributing to your current difficulties.

Therapy for Adults [18 years+]
I support adults [18yrs+] with a range of psychological and emotional issues. In a confidential and safe space, we will explore the issues that are impacting you and your wellbeing. You may be experiencing a crisis or maybe you have been struggling with something for a very long time. You may be experiencing low moods and anxieties that limit you; carrying wounds from old life experiences that are causing you pain; or you may not yet have the words to describe how you feel. I will support you in a way that is deeply empathetic and nonjudging as you gain understanding and insight into what is going on for you.
The therapy process will be led by you and supported by me. I believe that you have everything you need within you to feel better. Through our work together the possibilities for positive change will emerge as we explore the way forward that is right for you.
Seeking therapy can sometimes feel daunting. I offer a free 30-minute consultation via phone or zoom, giving you the opportunity to get a sense of who I am before you decide if I am the therapist you would like to work with.

Neurodivergent Therapy
[ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia/DCD, Dyscalculia, Dysgraphia Tourette’s syndrome, and other neuro-minorities]
A word about Neurodiversity
The concept of neurodiversity embraces the diversity of all human brain types (neuro-types) and views neurodevelopmental conditions/differences such as: ADHD, Autism, dyslexia, Dyspraxia/DCD, Dyscalculia, Dysgraphia among others, through a difference lens as opposed to an impaired lens. While those who are neurodivergent (individuals with neurodevelopmental differences) think, communicate and process differently than those who are neurotypical, this does not mean that neurodivergent thinking, communicating and processing is wrong it is just different from neurotypical ways of thinking, communicating and processing. The neurodiversity view is that all neuro-types have their strengths and limitations and that having a variety of neuro-types benefits humanity as a whole.
I have experience in supporting clients who are neurodiverse/neurodivergent. Clients with ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia/DCD, Dyscalculia, Dysgraphia and other neuro-minorities.
I am a strong advocate for those who are neurodiverse/neurodivergent, a population that has experienced judgement and whose abilities have not been fully appreciated. I am aware of the challenges clients may face as they navigate a neurotypical world, challenges that are often misunderstood. My work is informed by my personal and professional experience of neurodivergence.
I employ a flexible approach in my work with clients offering therapeutic alternatives to those who may not be comfortable with traditional approaches to counselling. I work in a calm setting with soft lighting and informal seating, an environment that appreciates the sensory processing needs and different learning styles of individuals.
I aim to create an atmosphere of trust and will take time to make you feel secure, providing a safe space for you to begin to talk about the challenges you are experiencing. You will have the opportunity to explore issues and experiences that may have impacted you negatively and have been internalised due to misunderstanding and judgement from others. I will support you in a way that is sensitive and non-judging as you gain understanding and insight into what is going on for you.
I support clients with a range of issues including but not limited to:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Chronic Overwhelm
- Chronic Fatigue

Walk-and-Talk Therapy
Being in nature is grounding and, in itself, can be therapeutically beneficial. Walk-and-talk therapy is the same as regular psychotherapy, the only difference is the sessions are held outdoors in nature. Some clients prefer having therapy walking side by side with their therapist rather than sitting face to face. They find being surrounded by nature reassuring and often find it easier to start discussing their concerns.
Online-Therapy
People are embracing online therapy like never before. It has proven to be effective, surprising both therapists and clients when it became very much the only option for therapy during the pandemic.
This form of therapy offers clients the option to work with a therapist with particular expertise who does not live nearby.
