Something brought you here.

Maybe you’ve been carrying something for a long time, and you’re tired of carrying it alone. Maybe you’ve always known your brain works differently. Maybe something has shifted recently — a diagnosis, a loss, a relationship, a moment where the way you’d been managing things simply stopped working.

Whatever it was — you’re welcome here. All of it. All of you.

You might recognise yourself in some of this

The mind that won’t settle — or that disappears completely into the one thing that actually interests it. The sensitivity that makes certain environments genuinely overwhelming, and that also means you feel things more fully than most people ever will. The years of translating yourself into something more acceptable, and the exhaustion of that. The shame that settled in early and never quite left. The grief that doesn’t have a clear name. The thing you’ve been carrying so long it feels like just who you are. The question about what your life is for that keeps arriving and keeps being deferred.

Who I work with

Many of the people I work with are neurodivergent — autistic, ADHD, AuDHD, dyslexic, dyspraxic, or living with sensory, processing, or anxiety differences, with or without a formal diagnosis. I also work with people navigating trauma and complex PTSD, grief and loss, depression and anxiety, gender and sexual identity, spirituality and existential questions, shame and self-worth, perfectionism, anger, loneliness, burnout, workplace difficulty, chronic illness, midlife, and the deeper questions of identity that often sit underneath all of these.

What most of my clients share is not a diagnosis. It’s the experience of having worked very hard, for a very long time, in ways that went largely unseen. And a readiness — however tentative — to go deeper.

My approach

I’m a Core Process Psychotherapist — UKCP accredited, trained at the Karuna Institute in Bristol. CPP is a mindfulness-based, relational therapy drawing on both Western psychodynamic understanding and Buddhist psychology. I work from the inside out — starting with what is actually present in your body and your experience, rather than applying a framework from the outside in.

I’m not working from a protocol. I’m following you.

The belief at the heart of this work is simple: you are not broken. Beneath everything you’ve been through, something whole and alive remains. Therapy isn’t about fixing what’s wrong. It’s about finding your way back to who you actually are.

All parts of you are welcome here.
