About Me
I bring lived experience of neurodiversity to my work, and I specialise in supporting people through emotional dysregulation, chronic stress and traumatic life events. I also have experience working with long-term and co-occurring health conditions, and I offer an informed, compassionate approach shaped around the complexity of each person’s life.
My aim is to help you nurture your autonomy, build confidence and develop a strong sense of who you are. I use creative ways of communicating that make room for embodied self-reflection, alongside practical skills grounded in neuroscience, so that you can feel psychologically safe and more in control of your life.
Compassion, curiosity and collaboration are at the heart of my practice. I offer a safe, thoughtful space where you can make sense of your experiences and feel understood and supported.
My Approach
I’m a qualified counsellor working with adults, young people and families. My approach is integrative, which means I draw on a range of therapeutic perspectives so that the work fits you, rather than the other way round. Alongside talking therapy, I work in a relational, reflective and, at times, somatic way, helping you make sense of your thoughts, feelings and patterns of experience.
The modalities I work with include:
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT): practical skills for emotion regulation and resilience
Internal Family Systems (IFS): a gentle exploration of your inner parts, fostering self-leadership
Polyvagal-Informed Resourcing: strengthening the sense of safety that underpins healthy relationships
Somatic Psychotherapy: drawing on the body’s wisdom to release stored tension and trauma
As you become more attuned to your own experience through somatic practice, lasting change can unfold, so that you can live, connect and thrive with greater ease.

Working with mind and body together
My work is based on the understanding that healing happens when the mind and body work together. My embodied approach recognises that stress, emotion and trauma are held in the body as much as in our thoughts.
In our sessions, I’ll gently guide you to:
Notice your body’s signals: tune in to the subtle sensations that can tell us what words sometimes can’t.
Breathe and move with purpose: use breathwork and mindful movement to ease tension and restore a sense of balance.
Ground and centre: practise simple techniques that anchor you in the present moment, easing anxiety and overwhelm.
By weaving these practices into our counselling, we can begin to release difficult emotions that feel stuck, soothe the nervous system, and build a deeper, kinder relationship with yourself, supporting your emotional and physical wellbeing over time.
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)
MBCT brings together the practical tools of cognitive therapy and the restorative power of mindfulness. In our sessions, you’ll learn to:
Anchor in the present moment: use simple, guided mindfulness practices to steady your attention.
Unhook from difficult thought loops: notice unhelpful patterns early, and choose a kinder, more balanced way of responding.
Support your mood and ease anxiety: develop evidence-based techniques to calm the nervous system and manage your emotions with greater confidence.
By learning to observe your thoughts rather than be ruled by them, MBCT helps you create the mental space for lasting wellbeing and a more vibrant, resilient life.
Neurodiversity Coaching
Empower your uniquely wired mind with coaching that celebrates your strengths. My tailored, one-to-one sessions provide you with practical tools to navigate daily life with confidence, enhancing emotional well-being, enriching relationships, and improving overall quality of life.
What you’ll learn:

Emotion recognition & regulation – identify feelings early and choose healthy responses
Interpersonal skills – communicate needs clearly and deepen connections

Metal Colour Light Therapy
Developed by Marianne Altmaier, Metal Colour Light Therapy (MCLT) is a therapeutic approach that combines the properties of metal-infused coloured light with the aim of promoting recovery and balance in the body.
The method is based on the philosophies of Anthroposophical Medicine, founded by Rudolf Steiner, and is used to treat a variety of health problems, particularly those resulting from poor mental health and long-term health issues.
