Couples Therapy

I support couples to navigate conflict, rebuild trust, and communicate more effectively. We set shared, realistic goals and practise tools you can use at home to sustain change beyond the therapy room.

Neurodiversity & ADOS-2

I have a particular interest in working with neurodiverse clients. I am ADOS-2 trained, supporting comprehensive ASD assessment pathways and adapting interventions to sensory needs, processing styles, and executive-function challenges.

Support for Parents of Neurodiverse Children

I offer a validating space for parents to be heard and equipped. Together we develop strategies that support your child’s needs while protecting your own wellbeing and boundaries.

Your first Session

Beginning therapy can feel daunting. Your first session moves at your pace—an opportunity to share what’s going on and what you’d like to change. We will agree clear goals and a working plan, with regular reviews to ensure therapy stays focused and useful.

Professional Standards

I adhere strictly to BABCP policies and ethical standards to ensure safe and effective practice.
