Who I work with

Adults seeking careful, affirming psychological help

I work with adults. Below are common reasons people get in touch — this is not an exhaustive list.

Adult ADHD

Psychological therapy for adults living with ADHD — emotional dysregulation, executive load, self-esteem after years of being misunderstood, and the relational cost of navigating a world built for different brains. Affirming and clinically grounded: making sense of attention and regulation in context, without reducing anyone to a deficit checklist.

This is supportive psychological therapy, not diagnostic assessment or medication prescribing. If that framing resonates, you are welcome to get in touch.

Trauma and PTSD

Single-incident or complex trauma, PTSD, intrusive memories, hypervigilance, avoidance, and the lasting effects of overwhelming experiences — with therapy available online by video across the UK.

Anxiety

Generalised anxiety, panic, social anxiety, health anxiety, and worry that has become exhausting or limiting.

Depression

Low mood, loss of motivation or meaning, self-criticism, and stuck patterns that therapy can help unravel.

Autism

Affirming psychological therapy for autistic adults — including burnout, masking, sensory load, and identity after late recognition.

Bereavement

Grief after loss, complicated mourning, and finding a way to live alongside what cannot be undone.

LGBTQ+

A respectful, affirming space for LGBTQ+ adults navigating identity, relationships, minority stress, or past invalidation.

A note on fit

Therapy works best when there is a good match. If your needs fall outside my scope, or another service would be more suitable, I will say so clearly and, where possible, suggest alternatives.
