Psychotherapist (MSc) & Qualified Coach (EQA, BSc)
I am passionate about empowering individuals and experienced working with trauma, anxiety, low self-esteem, ADHD, Autism, Eating Disorders, and depression. Sessions are safe, confidential, non-judgmental and neuroaffirming.
Examples of areas I work in: Identity, ADHD, Autism, acceptance, eating disorders, body image/dysmorphia, PTSD, trauma, low self-esteem, pain, relationships, anxiety, depression, LGBTQ+. I also work with neurotypical clients and the families and loved ones supporting neurodivergent individuals.
I understand that life can feel really lonely and you might have times of feeling lost, anxious, alone or confused as to who you are or what to do. Feeling like nobody understands you, or maybe not even understanding yourself? I can support you to make sense of what’s going on and work together on things that might feel a bit scary looking at them alone.
I won’t tell you what to do – chances are with a bit of time and space you’ll realise you already know the answers – but I will provide a compassionate and empowering environment that validates your experiences and supports you to make sense of them and move forward in whichever way you want.
