A thoughtful, welcoming counsellor and ADHD coach based in London

My approach to my work is grounded in compassion, professionalism and collaboration. However you choose to work with me, whether through counselling, psychotherapy or ADHD coaching, my aim is to create a safe, inclusive space where you can better understand yourself and move forward in a way that feels right for you.

My career in mental health began in the mid-1990s, when I trained as a mental health nurse. Since then, I’ve gained extensive clinical experience across the UK, USA and Australia, supporting people with a wide range of neurodevelopmental and mental health experiences. These have included ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, dementia, eating disorders and eating distress, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and personality disorders, as well as significant life changes and periods of emotional difficulty that don’t always come with a diagnosis or label.

I am a Registered Nurse with the UK’s Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), with professional registration in both mental health nursing and general adult nursing, and I practise in accordance with the NMC Code. My nursing background, together with the ethical standards of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society and the Universal Coaching Alliance, informs how I work and underpins my commitment to confidentiality, safeguarding, integrity, and safe, responsible practice.

I work integratively, bringing together counselling, psychotherapy and coaching, and drawing on person-centred, cognitive behavioural (CBT) and Gestalt approaches. This means we can work in a way that responds to you, your circumstances and what you hope to achieve, rather than expecting you to fit a particular model or way of working.
