Our counsellors

II offer a supportive, compassionate space for individuals experiencing a wide range of difficulties, including illness diagnoses, new diagnoses of autism or ADHD, anxiety, stress, health anxiety, self-harm, suicidal ideation, childhood trauma, complex grief, and loss. I also work with individuals who are feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of what they need, but know that something doesn’t feel quite right.

My work is grounded in person-centered counselling, which means I focus on supporting you as a unique individual. Together, we will explore what has brought you to counselling, identify your therapeutic goals, and work towards the changes you would like to make. Our sessions move at a pace that feels safe and manageable for you. You are always in control of what you share, when you share it, and how much you choose to explore.

I will gently encourage and support you in acknowledging and working through difficult emotions or experiences—particularly those you may not yet realise you have been holding or suppressing.

Safeguarding

 

I am an individual with ADHD and have lived experience of autism and AuDHD, which informs my practice with empathy, sensitivity, and understanding.

Having lived and worked in both South Africa and England, I have experience working with people from a wide range of cultures, ethnicity, and backgrounds. I am committed to offering an inclusive, respectful, and non‑judgmental counselling service.

Before training as a counsellor, I led and mentored teams of young people through apprenticeships into qualified roles, with responsibility for their well being, academic progress, and professional development. This experience continues to shape my relational and supportive approach to counselling today.
