About Me
A passion for neurodiversity
One of the aspects of therapy that resonates most deeply with me is working alongside neurodivergent individuals and families. I have extensive experience supporting people
with Autism Spectrum Conditions, ADHD, and related sensory or cognitive differences.

One of the aspects of therapy that resonates most deeply with me is working alongside neurodivergent individuals and families. I have extensive experience supporting people
with Autism Spectrum Conditions, ADHD, and related sensory or cognitive differences.
I understand that neurodiversity is not a deficit but a vital part of human variation. My
aim is to offer therapy that is adaptable, accessible, and affirming — recognising the
rich diversity of thinking, feeling, and processing that neurodivergent clients bring.
This passion is not only professional but deeply personal. It drives me to keep learning
and evolving my practice to be as inclusive and effective as possible, ensuring that all
clients feel seen, heard, and valued for exactly who they are.

Compassionate, curious, and committed to understanding the whole person.
My journey into psychotherapy began later in life, following a career dedicated to supporting vulnerable individuals through some of their most challenging moments.
A significant part of this experience comes from my work at The Priory Group, where I supported people in inpatient settings dealing with severe and complex mental health
issues, including addictions. This clinical background has profoundly shaped my ability to hold and work with intense emotional material with sensitivity and care.
With nearly two decades of experience in mental health and therapeutic settings, I bring
both clinical expertise and genuine empathy to my work. I have always been fascinated by the complexity of human experience — how our histories, relationships, and
neurological differences intertwine to shape the way we see ourselves and the world.
Who I am as a therapist
Ongoing growth and Reflection
I believe therapy is a collaborative journey. I’m a warm, conscientious, and reflective practitioner who values openness, curiosity, and authenticity. I strive to hold a non-judgemental space where difficult feelings can be explored with care and where meaningful change can emerge naturally.

I believe therapy is a collaborative journey. I’m a warm, conscientious, and reflective practitioner who values openness, curiosity, and authenticity. I strive to hold a non-judgemental space where difficult feelings can be explored with care and where meaningful change can emerge naturally.
My approach is integrative — drawing on psychodynamic, humanistic, cognitive-
behavioural, and trauma-informed perspectives. Additionally, my ongoing training as a Group Analyst with the Institute of Group Analysis (IGA) enriches my understanding of unconscious dynamics, relational patterns, and systemic influences that shape our inner
and outer worlds.
My clinical experience working with complex and high-risk cases in inpatient care has given me a grounded understanding of the challenges clients face, enabling me to support both the depth and breadth of emotional experience with compassion and
professional rigour.
But more than any technique, it’s my commitment to truly understanding each person’s lived experience that guides my work. I am continually inspired by the resilience and courage people bring to therapy. It is a privilege to accompany clients as they navigate their challenges, discover new insights,
and build stronger connections with themselves and others.

Being a therapist is a lifelong journey of learning and self-reflection. I engage regularly
in professional development and clinical supervision, always seeking to deepen my
understanding of both therapeutic theory and the evolving landscape of mental health.
My Group Analysis training is a vital part of this journey, providing ongoing insight into
how individuals are shaped by—and respond to—the complex dynamics within
relationships and communities.
