Life can feel overwhelming at times, and you don't have to navigate it alone. I work with children, adolescents and adults, supporting people through anxiety, depression, stress, social challenges, parenting, life transitions, fine motor skills and the unique experiences of autistic and other neurodivergent people. My practice is neuroaffirming, I recognise and celebrate neurodiversity, and I aim to create a space where each person feels understood on their own terms.

With a background in education, disability and creative arts therapy, I've spent many years supporting children, adolescents and adults across schools, specialist education settings and the disability sector. Those experiences shaped a lifelong goal of becoming a therapist, and they continue to inform the compassionate, person-centred way I work.

I take a holistic approach to therapy, seeing each person as a whole rather than a set of challenges or diagnoses to address. As a Creative Arts Therapist, I believe the arts can speak for you when words fall short. Creative expression offers a gentle way to explore emotions, process experiences and find new perspectives. I offer a range of ways to engage, including virtual reality, and therapy is shaped around your individual needs, preferences and goals, no artistic experience is needed.

My aim is to offer a warm, collaborative and non-judgmental space where you feel safe to explore things at your own pace. Together, we'll build on your strengths, develop practical strategies, and support change that's meaningful and lasting, in a way that honours who you are.
