Integrative psychotherapist and Counsellor
I am an integrative psychotherapist, meaning I draw on techniques from different therapeutic
modalities to tailor therapy sessions to your individual needs. I am a registered member of
the BACP (MBACP) and am bound by their strict code of ethics.
I have extensive lived experience of neurodivergence, as well as having supported
neurodivergent individuals in numerous professional capacities throughout my life. Rather
than focussing on the deficit-based model, I like to view neurodivergence as a different way
of being. As such, I like to develop an understanding of each client as an individual with their
own unique set of characteristics, strengths, challenges and life experiences. I am hugely
passionate about making psychotherapy work for neurodivergent individuals; I recently
completed my Integrative Psychotherapy MA dissertation on the double empathy problem in
psychotherapy and counselling.
If you have recently been recognised as being autistic, we can work together to understand
what this means for you. Whether this involves exploring your sense of identity after years of
masking, processing past experiences with the new perspective your diagnosis provides or
working with anxiety caused by years of feeling like a misfit in a neurotypical world, I can
provide a safe and non-judgemental space for you to explore whatever feels important to
you.
I am open and honest so there is no need for you to second guess what I am saying. I am
happy to accommodate communication or sensory preferences based on your individual
needs so that you get the most out of sessions.
