One-to-One Support

I offer a confidential, neuroinclusive space to support you in making sense of what’s happening beneath the overwhelm, conflict, shutdown or feeling of being stuck.

Together, we can understand what has been weighing on you and develop ways forward that work for your life, your relationships and your nervous system.

Support for before, after and during diagnosis

When something needs to change - but you don’t know where to begin

Hello and Welcome

What I can help you with

Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria

for those that feel deeply - does criticism, a change in someone’s tone or the possibility of rejection feel overwhelming? You may become defensive, withdraw, over-explain or end a relationship before someone else can leave. Together, we can explore these protective patterns, what activates them and what could help you respond differently.

Neurodivergence & Emotional Regulation

Perhaps emotions arrive intensely, take time to recognise or become difficult to express. We can explore how sensory needs, masking, demands, uncertainty and nervous-system capacity affect you - and develop approaches that work with your neurodivergence rather than asking you to hide it.

Relationships, communication & family

Do conversations keep turning into the same argument, misunderstanding or silence? One-to-one support can help you recognise your communication patterns, understand what happens when you feel under pressure and find steadier ways to express needs, boundaries and difficult feelings.

Anxiety, stress, overwhelm & burnout

When your mind and body have been under pressure for too long, even ordinary demands can begin to feel unmanageable. We can explore what is draining your capacity, recognise the signs of overwhelm earlier and develop realistic ways to support yourself without adding more pressure.

Multi Heritage Identity

Living between cultures can bring richness, complexity and questions about where you belong. You may feel expected to choose between different parts of yourself or never feel “enough” for either. This is a space to explore culture, identity, family expectations, faith, racism and belonging without having to simplify who you are.

Multifaith Relationships

Faith can be a source of love and meaning, but differences in belief may also create difficult decisions about family, marriage, celebrations, values or raising children. We can explore these conversations without treating either person’s faith - or lack of faith - as the problem.

Trauma, grief & loss

Past experiences and significant losses can continue to affect your body, relationships and everyday life, sometimes in unexpected ways. We can work at a pace that feels safe enough, without pressure to disclose everything or repeatedly retell experiences before you are ready.

Loss Through Suicide

Bereavement by suicide can leave love sitting alongside shock, anger, guilt, unanswered questions and fear of other people’s judgement. This is a space where the complexity of the loss can be spoken about honestly, without being rushed towards acceptance, closure or “moving on.”

Managing Addiction

Something that once helped you cope may now be affecting your health, relationships or daily life. We can explore what the substance or behaviour does for you, what sits beneath it and what change might look like - without shame, judgement or reducing you to an addiction.

Confidence & Self-esteem

Years of criticism, rejection, masking or feeling different can shape how you see yourself. You may doubt your decisions, minimise your needs or constantly compare yourself with others. Together, we can explore where these beliefs came from and begin developing a more compassionate and secure relationship with yourself.

Neurodivergent Burnout

This can feel like more than ordinary tiredness. After prolonged masking, sensory overload, relentless demands or repeatedly pushing beyond your capacity, you may find it harder to speak, make decisions, manage everyday tasks or tolerate sensory input. Together, we can explore what has depleted you, reduce unnecessary demands and develop a more sustainable way forward - without treating rest as something you have to earn.

Parenting Teenagers & Adult Children

Parenting changes as children grow, but the worry, responsibility and desire to stay connected do not simply disappear. You may be navigating independence, boundaries, conflict, estrangement or very different communication needs - especially when neurodivergence is part of family life. We can explore how to remain supportive without losing sight of your own needs or taking responsibility for everything.

Limerence

When thoughts about someone become consuming, your mood may depend on their attention, messages or signs of possible rejection. The intensity can feel difficult to manage, even when you recognise the impact on your wellbeing or relationships. Together, we can explore the needs, attachment patterns and uncertainty beneath the preoccupation, strengthen boundaries and help you gradually reclaim your attention - without shame or being told to “just move on.

Perimenopause & Menopause

Perimenopause and menopause can affect mood, sleep, concentration, identity, relationships and your ability to manage everyday demands. For some neurodivergent people, sensory sensitivities, overwhelm or previously manageable difficulties may become more noticeable. Alongside appropriate medical support, therapy can help you understand these changes, communicate your needs and develop ways of living and working that better reflect your current capacity.

Creative Health Mentoring

For artists, practitioners and people developing creative wellbeing work, mentoring offers space to explore your ideas, strengthen your confidence and turn an emerging concept into something practical. We can consider purpose, accessibility, ethics, delivery and sustainability while protecting what makes the work meaningfully yours.

How we'll work together

MY APPROACH

Our sessions are shaped around you. I won’t arrive with a fixed formula or expect you to know exactly what to talk about. You might bring a feeling you cannot name, a relationship or pattern that keeps getting stuck, a recent experience, a question or a story you find yourself returning to. You may just want a confidential space to say things out aloud.

Depending on what feels useful, we might talk, notice what is happening in your body, explore a recurring pattern, make sense of a nervous-system response or try a practical, visual or creative approach. I may also share accessible brain–body psychoeducation to help you understand how your mind, body, experiences and environment may be interacting.

This is not about fixing you or teaching you to control every response. It is about understanding why certain patterns may have developed, recognising what your nervous system might need and creating more choice in what happens next. You will never be expected to complete an exercise simply because it is part of a set process.

I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches, but the heart of my work is relational: developing a steady, trustworthy space where you do not have to perform, mask or find the perfect words. We can begin with whatever is present.

Why I do this work

A LITTLE ABOUT ME

I’m a BACP-accredited trauma counsellor, a Creative Health Practitioner and a multidisciplinary artist. I believe creativity can offer another way into experiences that may be difficult to explain through conversation alone. I may invite you to explore something visually or creatively, but this is always optional—and it is never about being “good” at art.

I do this work because I know how much it can matter to be met with curiosity rather than judgement or assumption, particularly when your experiences have previously been misunderstood, minimised or made to feel like you are the problem. I also understand how it feels to hide the life you wish to lead and have your voice silenced.

I believe meaningful change often begins through connection and understanding: having somewhere safe enough to say what is difficult, notice what has been happening beneath the surface and experience a different kind of response. Greater understanding and developing relational skills can reduce self-blame and help you recognise what you need, without asking you to change who you are.

Change is not always dramatic. Sometimes, it begins with a little more space, a new understanding or the quiet realisation that you no longer have to hold everything by yourself.

My work is informed by both professional and lived experience, including my own experience of bereavement by suicide. I have spent years sitting alongside people through overwhelm, grief, neurodivergence and the complicated reality of relationships.

You do not need to organise your thoughts, make your experience sound reasonable or know what you want to change before you come. We can work that out together.

Client Contract

Please read before booking

Our working agreement This is our agreement for working together. Please read it before your first session. A copy is emailed to you when your booking is confirmed. If anything is unclear, ask me and we can talk it through. I am an accredited, registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I work within the BACP Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions 2026. What I promise The BACP framework is built on 12 principles. In plain words, I will: keep what you tell me private (confidentiality) always tell you the truth (honesty) be clear about what I offer, my training, any changes, and the risks and benefits (transparency) do nothing that harms you (do no harm) put your wellbeing first (best interest) respect your right to make your own choices (respect) treat you fairly and make my service easy to use (fairness) notice the power I hold as your counsellor, and not misuse it (anti-oppression) earn and keep your trust (trust) work with you, not on you (collaboration) be kind (compassion) act openly and ethically (integrity). Working together We decide together how we will work. You can ask questions at any time. You can tell me if something is not working for you, and we will change our approach. If a difficult decision comes up, I will talk it through with you first, listen to what you think, and explain my reasons. I will write down what we agree. Sometimes I may not be able to decide with you, for example if you are at serious risk or the law says I must act. If that happens, I will tell you why as soon as I can. About me My training: Level 5 qualification in therapeutic counselling Diploma in CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy), University of Derby one-year trauma programme with Dr Bessel van der Kolk's Trauma Research Foundation Rewind Therapy. I am a BACP Registered Member, MBACP (Accred), number 379114. The BACP Register is accredited by the Professional Standards Authority. You can check my registration on the BACP website. I only offer work I am trained and experienced to do. If I think someone else could help you better, I will tell you and help you find them. I have professional insurance with Protectivity for my online work. Our sessions Sessions are 60 or 90 minutes, online by Zoom. For online sessions, please find a private space where you will not be overheard or interrupted. I will do the same. For your safety, please do not join a session while you are driving, walking, or in a public place, such as a café, shop or public transport. Please stay in one place for the whole session. If you join from somewhere that is not safe or private, I will ask you to move. If that is not possible, we will rearrange the session. This counts as a late cancellation, so the full fee is charged. At our first session, I will ask where you are and who to contact in an emergency. This is only used if I am worried about your safety. Sessions are not recorded by me or by you. Confidentiality What you tell me stays between us. I will only share it if you agree, or if the law says I must. I may have to share information without your agreement if: I believe you or someone else is at risk of serious harm, including risk of suicide a child or an adult at risk is being harmed or is in danger it is about serious crime, such as terrorism or money laundering a court orders me to. Where I can, I will talk to you first before I share anything. Safeguarding I have a safeguarding policy to protect children and adults at risk. You can ask me for a copy at any time. If you have a concern about how I work, you can contact BACP on 01455 883300. Notes and your data I keep short notes after each session. They are factual and do not use your full name. They are stored securely and kept for 7 years after we finish, then deleted. Messages and emails between us are part of your record. You can ask to see what I hold about you. My privacy notice explains how your data is collected, stored and protected, and your rights under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. AI and digital tools BACP now asks counsellors to be open about AI (artificial intelligence) and other digital tools. This is how I use them. I use Zoom for sessions, and this website for bookings and payments. Before using any tool, I check that I know how to use it safely, and how it stores and protects your data. I do not put your name, notes or anything you tell me into AI tools, such as chatbots, transcription or note-writing apps. I will never let AI make decisions about you or your care. I am always responsible for the decisions I make. I will never use AI to make images, video or audio of you. If I ever want to use an AI tool in our work, I will: explain what it does, and its benefits and risks only use it if you agree, before any of your information goes into it tell you what happens to your information if you change your mind. You can say no, or change your mind at any time. It will not affect our work together. If you use AI chatbots between sessions, you are welcome to bring what came up. We can think about it together, without judgement. Supervision I have regular supervision with a qualified counselling supervisor. This helps me work safely and well. I may talk about our work, but I never share your name or anything that could identify you. Fees and payment Fees are shown when you book. You can pay by card or Apple Pay through Stripe, by Revolut, or by bank transfer. Card and Apple Pay bookings are confirmed straight away. Revolut and bank transfer bookings are confirmed once your payment has been checked. Please pay by the time shown in your booking email, or the time will be released. I review fees once a year. I will give you at least 4 weeks' notice of any change. Cancelling and rescheduling You can cancel for a full refund, or reschedule once, up to 72 hours before your session. If you cancel with less than 72 hours' notice, or do not come, the full fee is charged. If I have to cancel, I will offer you a new time or a full refund. Breaks and endings I will tell you about my holidays and planned breaks as early as I can. We will agree how many sessions we have, and review how things are going together. You can end at any time. It helps to have a final session to close our work well. If I ever need to end our work, I will give you notice where it is safe to do so, and help you find other support. Contact between sessions Please message me about bookings through the app. Sign in, open My Account, then choose Support. I usually reply within 2 working days. I do not offer counselling by message or email. I keep my personal and work social media separate. I will not follow you, or accept friend requests, on social media. If we see each other in public, I will not say hello unless you do first. If email, the app or Zoom is down If email or this website is not working, you can message me on WhatsApp. The number is in your booking confirmation email. WhatsApp messages and calls are end-to-end encrypted. If Zoom is not working at the time of your session, message me on WhatsApp and we will carry on by WhatsApp video call instead. The same rules about being somewhere private and safe apply. Please only use WhatsApp when email, the app or Zoom is down, for example to rearrange or join a session. It is not for counselling between sessions or for emergencies, and I will not reply to other messages there. Messages on WhatsApp are part of your record, like emails. Not a crisis service I cannot offer emergency help between sessions. If you are in crisis, call 999, call NHS 111 and choose the mental health option, or text SHOUT to 85258. See our crisis support page for more help. Fairness and access I treat everyone fairly. I will not judge you, or try to change your sexual orientation or gender identity. If you need adjustments, such as written summaries, larger text, or breaks in a session, please tell me. If something goes wrong If I make a mistake, I will tell you honestly, say sorry, and put it right where I can. If you are unhappy with my work, please tell me first. If we cannot sort it out, you can contact BACP: bacp.co.uk. If I cannot contact you I have a clinical will. If I become ill or die, a trusted colleague, bound by confidentiality, will let you know and help you find other support. Agreeing to this contract By booking a session, you agree to this contract. If I change it, I will tell you and send you the new version. Last updated: 13 November 2026.

Neurodivergence, Emotional Dysregulation & RSD

ONE-TO-ONE SUPPORT

Neurodivergence & Late Diagnosis

A late diagnosis can bring relief as your experiences begin to make sense - but also grief for the support you did not receive or the years spent masking. As someone diagnosed later in life, I understand this complexity. Together, we can explore identity, accommodations and what living more authentically could mean for you.

Rejection Sensitivity & Emotional Dysregulation

Criticism, uncertainty or a change in someone’s tone can feel intensely painful. You may become defensive, over-explain, people-please or withdraw - and then feel ashamed afterwards. We can explore what activates these responses, recognise when you are reaching capacity and develop more choice in how you communicate and respond.
