I wasn’t satisfied with my life, so I overhauled it.

I know what it’s like to feel that life is a constant uphill battle.

 

When your mind won’t slow down. When you’re exhausted by trying to fit into systems that weren’t built for you (or for people like you).  

For years, I carried the weight of harsh labels. Teachers told me I’d never hold down a job, and for a long time, I believed them. I drifted from low-paid role to low-paid role because I was stuck in survival mode.

I was battling anxiety and depression, and constantly questioning my worth. 

Everything changed when I returned to education as an adult - Something I never imagined I’d be capable of.  

But a diagnosis of ADHD, dyscalculia, and possible autism gave me the missing pieces of the puzzle. It helped me make peace with the past and start building something new. 

I went on to earn a First-Class Honours degree in Counselling & Psychotherapy, became a registered member of the BACP, and now I support others who feel stuck, lost, or overlooked. 

My approach is grounded in lived experience and Person-Centred Therapy. Whether I’m working through psychotherapy, coaching or mentoring, I meet people where they are — with honesty, empathy, and the belief that change is always possible.

My services 

I offer two core services: psychotherapy and specialist mentoring.

Psychotherapy offers a space to explore emotional challenges, while specialist mentoring supports students in higher education who are managing mental health or neurodivergence alongside their studies.

I don’t believe people need fixing.

I believe in offering a space where you feel safe enough to explore what’s going on and supported enough to start doing something about it.

Sometimes that means reflection and emotional insight. Sometimes it’s more practical. Either way, we move at your pace.

Sessions are available online via Zoom or in person, depending on what works for you.
