Trauma • Burnout • Self-Worth • Neurodivergent-Affirming Therapy
Helping you move from survival mode to self-understanding, self-compassion, and lasting change.
You may be used to coping on your own, and perhaps you’ve spent years putting other people’s needs first, masking who you are, pushing through stress, and holding yourself to impossibly high standards. On the outside, you may appear to be managing, but inside, you feel exhausted. You might find yourself constantly overthinking, feeling anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or caught in a cycle of self-criticism.
Many of the people I work with have experienced trauma, difficult relationships, childhood emotional wounds, autistic or ADHD burnout, workplace stress, or long periods of carrying far more than anyone should have to carry alone. If this sounds familiar, therapy can offer a space where you no longer have to keep everything together by yourself.
You may be looking for support if:
- You feel overwhelmed, burnt out, or emotionally exhausted
- You struggle with self-worth and are constantly hard on yourself
- You find it difficult to rest without feeling guilty
- You put other people’s needs before your own
- You are autistic, have ADHD, or are exploring whether you may be neurodivergent
- You feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you
- You want to understand yourself rather than simply “cope better”
- You feel anxious and overwhelmed
- You are struggling with your relationships and attachment difficulties
Together, we can gently explore what lies beneath the surface, helping you understand yourself more deeply, make sense of your experiences, and develop a more compassionate relationship with yourself.
Therapy is not about fixing you. Many people come to therapy believing there is something wrong with them. Often, what I see instead is someone who has spent years adapting, surviving, coping, or carrying more than they should have had to carry. During sessions, we can look at how past experiences may still be affecting you today and discover what helps you feel safer, calmer, and more connected to yourself.
We will work at a pace that feels manageable and supportive, with no pressure to be anywhere other than where you are.
My approach:
I am a BACP-registered counsellor offering person-centred, trauma-informed, and neurodivergent-affirming therapy. At the heart of my work is the belief that you are the expert on your own life.
Rather than telling you what to do or offering quick fixes, I provide a supportive, nurturing space where we can explore your experiences together. I draw on somatic and nervous-system-informed approaches, recognising that stress, trauma, and overwhelm are not only experienced in our thoughts but can also be held within the body.
I aim to help you feel understood, accepted, and supported as you make sense of your experiences and move towards meaningful change.
If you’re considering therapy and would like to explore whether we’re a good fit, you’re welcome to get in touch. We can arrange an initial assessment session to discuss what is bringing you to therapy and how I may be able to support you.
