About Me
I am a dedicated and empathetic counsellor who focuses on supporting individuals through their unique journeys. With a strong background in neurodiversity and a deep understanding of how our early experiences shape who we are today, I aim to create a space where you feel safe, respected, and understood. Having worked with individuals from various walks of life, I believe that each person’s therapeutic needs are unique, and I strive to provide a compassionate and nonjudgmental environment where growth and healing can flourish.
Growing up in a neurodiverse and multicultural family, I developed a keen interest in the complexities of identity, culture, and the impact of neurodiversity. I specialise in helping those with dyslexia, ADHD, autism, and other neurodiverse profiles, empowering them to embrace their individuality while overcoming the challenges they may face in professional, academic, and personal environments. My personal and professional experiences have deepened my commitment to guiding clients toward recognising their self-worth and potential.
The Way I Work
My approach to counselling is rooted in Relational Transactional Analysis, which emphasises the importance of relationships and how our early experiences influence who we are. I work from a life position of "I'm OK, You're OK," which creates a secure, collaborative space where you can safely explore your struggles. Together, we can unearth the hidden patterns that may have held you back, empowering you to lead a more authentic and fulfilling life.
I offer a thoughtful and supportive environment for individuals navigating neurodivergence, especially those whose diagnosis came later in life or was previously misunderstood. Whether you are dealing with the effects of masking, burnout, or searching for new coping strategies, I’m here to help you find a way forward. My practice also extends to working with leaders and managers, equipping them with tools to foster inclusive, supportive environments where everyone can succeed.
Ultimately, my aim is to support you on your path towards progress, enabling you to feel more at home in your own skin and to approach life’s challenges with renewed confidence.
