She/Her

Online, Southampton UK

Having been through many years of my own therapy, and experiencing a wide range of approaches, I realised a lot of therapy wasn't suited or tailored to neurodivergent people. I offer therapy through this lens, continually updating my own learning through training run exclusively by neurodivergent professionals. I have professional and personal lived experience with BPD/EUPD, anxiety, depression, self harm and meltdowns, and am LGBTQAI+ affirming; I can offer a completely safe space without pressure, in which to process these difficulties. I also work specifically with trauma and abuse (my work is trauma informed), loss, shame, relationship difficulties and attachment issues. I have specific interests in pre and post diagnosis support, and supporting sensory difficulties. I am a Pluralistic therapist, which means I integrate a range of therapy approaches, blended to support each individual client.

Who I work with

I work with diagnosed or un-diagnosed neurodivergent adults, tackling a range of issues. This may include looking at practical stressors such as navigating workplace accommodations and coping skills, or more internal difficulties such as autistic burnout, identity issues, relationships or masking. I hope to bring a human element to therapy, and believe that its an equal partnership, in which I offer empathy and safety, completely without judgement and with respect. I work within the knowledge that neurodivergence affects mental health in a very unique way, and therefore therapy may need to be adapted to accommodate these difference.

Qualifications & Professional Background

I'm a Level 5 qualified Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and registered member of the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society, am fully insured and registered with the ICO. I also hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology. I undergo continuous confessional training, on subjects such as masking, anxiety and autism, Audhd in women, and all my training is now delivered by Neurodivergent professionals. I worked for a low cost counselling service before launching my own practice, and aim to be able to offer affordable counselling to those who need it most.

Next Steps

Navigating these difficulties can be all consuming and exhausting, and it can be hard to ask for help. But often we need to in order to process and begin to heal, and unearth who we really are. If you think you’d like some support, please get in touch.
I hold sessions online or by phone call, and currently work with adults over the age of 18. I offer long or short term therapy, with a free 20 minute phone or video call, so that we get a feel for whether I am the right fit for you, and what you are looking for in a therapist.
From there, our first session could be an exploration of your past therapy experiences and future objectives, sensory preferences, processing and communication styles, or anything else that is important to you.
