My Approach

I work collaboratively and integratively using a range of therapeutic approaches such as Attachment and Polyvagal Theory, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Mindfulness-Based Approaches, Psychoeducation, and Transactional Analysis - all with a trauma-informed focus. I have specialist training in working therapeutically with autistic and ADHD adults.

I prioritise creating a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your experiences. We'll work together to understand your emotions, address unhelpful patterns, rebuild self-trust, set boundaries that protect your wellbeing, and cultivate genuine self-acceptance.

At the heart of my work is an understanding of how our nervous system, attachment patterns, and past experiences shape present-day struggles. I'm trauma-informed, which means I'm aware of the complex impact of trauma on a person's distress and how it shapes their efforts to copy – whether through food, alcohol, overworking, or other coping strategies. When trauma or emotional pain is present, I explore it gently and collaboratively, attending to your experiences with care and respect, without pathologizing who you are.

Some clients benefit most from practical tools and strategies, while others need space to explore and make sense of their experiences - and many benefit from both. Through our work together, you'll gain greater clarity about yourself and your needs, develop effective coping strategies, and create meaningful change that works for you in everyday life.

About Me

I'm a down-to-earth, compassionate psychotherapist with 20 years' experience supporting adults through emotional, relational, and mental health challenges across private practice, voluntary services, and NHS settings.

As a person and therapist, I'm curious, honest, and kind. I offer a safe space where you can breathe, slow down, and explore your experiences without pressure to perform or conform - always at your own pace, in your own way.

I work with people experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, stress, boundary issues, relationship difficulties, and perfectionism. Many are processing childhood trauma, struggling with emotional regulation, or concerned about coping strategies like alcohol, food, or overworking.

I also specialise in neurodivergent-affirming therapy for autistic, ADHD, and AuDHD adults.

I offer sessions in person from a welcoming space in Malvern or online via Zoom, most weekdays and early evenings.

Special Interests

Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.

I offer neurodivergent-affirming therapy that recognises ADHD as a natural neurological difference, not a character flaw or lack of willpower. Through both my professional training and lived experience, I understand the challenges of navigating a world not designed for you. I'm particularly passionate about supporting adults navigating late diagnosis or self-identification - the years of being told you're "too much" or "not enough", the shame around struggling with things that seem easy for others, the exhaustion of compensating, and the process of understanding your ADHD brain without pathologising yourself. My approach focuses on building self-awareness, reducing shame, and developing strategies that work with your ADHD brain, not against it. Rather than focusing on "fixing" you, I support you in understanding how your brain works, managing emotional dysregulation and rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD), setting boundaries that protect your wellbeing, and creating sustainable routines that honour your needs. I work with ADHD adults, those questioning whether they might be ADHD, and people who are AuDHD.
I offer neurodivergent-affirming therapy that recognises autism as a natural neurological difference, not a deficit or something to be fixed. Through both my professional training and lived experience, I understand the challenges of navigating a world that wasn't designed for neurodivergent minds. I'm particularly passionate about supporting adults navigating late diagnosis or self-identification - the exhaustion of masking, the grief and relief that often accompany discovery, the process of unlearning internalised ableism, and the journey of figuring out who you are beneath years of adaptation. My approach focuses on building self-awareness, reducing shame, and developing strategies that work with your brain, not against it. Rather than encouraging you to mask or conform, I support you in understanding your authentic needs, setting boundaries that protect your energy, and creating a life that feels sustainable and authentic. I work with autistic adults, those questioning whether they might be autistic, and people who are AuDHD.
I have a special interest in working with stress and trauma through the lens of Polyvagal Theory (PVT); a theory developed by Dr Stephen Porges which emphasizes the role the autonomic nervous system plays in regulating our health and behaviour. PVT focuses on what happens in our body and our nervous system depending on whether we are regulated or dysregulated; it explains how our sense of safety, danger or threat, can impact how we think, feel, and behave in our day-to-day lives and relationships
