About me

I am a BACP accredited Counsellor & Psychotherapist with over 16 years’ experience of working with individuals and couples. I have a private practice where I offer a safe and confidential environment in which to reflect and process feelings.

I have a specialist interest in neurodiversity, supporting people with Autism and ADHD, in addition to their family members/carers. Working with the charity Mencap for over 17 years supporting families and carers of children with learning disabilities, has given me a good understanding of the daily struggles that people on the autistic spectrum along with their families, have to cope with. 

I believe it is important to provide an emotionally secure and non-judgemental environment where people can feel heard and understood, when so often they may be misunderstood. I have supported many neurodiverse clients, helping them to express and make sense of their feelings, thereby promoting self-confidence and positivity within their lives.

Ways of Working

I am currently working both remotely and also face-to-face, from a dedicated therapeutic space in Mill Hill, North West London. Appointments are available weekdays or evenings.​​

Each session lasts 50 minutes (60 mins for couples) and the number of sessions can either be open-ended, or short term with an agreed number of sessions. I feel it important to address each client’s needs individually and am happy to discuss any worries, expectations, or goals for counselling. The first session is a time to discuss the most helpful way of working together, clients can then book further appointments if they wish.
