Are you someone who feels like you experience the world differently from those around you? Do you notice details others miss, or think in patterns and concepts that set you apart? Perhaps you find social situations overwhelming, yet you have a rich inner world of thoughts and ideas. Maybe your mind races with creativity and innovation, but conventional routines leave you feeling constrained.
Do your thoughts, behaviours, or ways of processing information not quite align with what’s considered “typical”? You might have wondered if you have ADHD, autism, or another form of neurodiversity—even without an official diagnosis. You may feel both the challenges and unique strengths that come with seeing the world through a different lens.
If this resonates with you, I specialize in supporting individuals just like you. As a counsellor experienced in working with neurodiverse people—whether diagnosed or simply feeling different—I provide a compassionate and understanding space where you can explore your experiences without judgment. Together, we can navigate your unique perspective, harness your strengths, and address any challenges you face. I believe in embracing your authentic self and empowering you to thrive in your own way.
If you’re seeking support tailored to your unique experiences, I’m here to help you get out of your own way and unlock your full potential. Let’s work together to embrace who you are and find strategies that work for you.
Our minds can sometimes be our biggest obstacles. By reprogramming internal thought patterns that block your potential, I help you get out of your own way to achieve the growth you desire. Healing comes from within, and once recognized, I can support you in this transformative process.
Personalized Support Tailored to You
I work with individuals from all walks of life, addressing a wide range of issues—both familiar and unexpected. During our initial assessment, we’ll identify how I can best support you in healing your inner world. The therapeutic relationship is key, and together we’ll build a foundation of trust and understanding.

"The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am then I can change"
Carl Rogers
My path to becoming a counsellor began when I found myself stuck in my own life. I had done significant personal development through 12-step work, which helped me build self-awareness—a process that remains part of my daily routine. However, unresolved childhood trauma led me to seek the help of a counsellor. The experience was transformative, prompting my decision to follow a career in counselling. My own journey wasn't always easy however the thought of one day helping others as my counsellor had helped me kept me driving forward, everyone deserves the right to good mental health.

Upon first contact, we'll schedule a convenient time for an introductory phone consultation. This conversation will allow us to determine if we are well-suited for collaboration. Should you choose to proceed, we can establish regular sessions tailored to your needs. If not, I have an extensive network of specialized therapists to whom I can refer you.
Taking that initial step toward seeking support can feel daunting, but it’s a courageous and meaningful step toward self-discovery. Remember, every journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
Based in Chelmsford, Essex, I offer online counselling and psychotherapy via Zoom and WhatsApp.
If you have any questions about online counselling, please get in touch.
Each session will run for 50 minutes at an agreed time and day each week.
The sessions cost £40 each however if you are on a very low income this can be taken into account. I hold some spaces for low cost counselling.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about how counselling works. This enables us to discuss the reasons you are thinking of coming to counselling, whether it could be helpful for you and whether I am the right therapist to help.
You can also call me on 07907 780909 if you would prefer to leave a message or speak to me first. I am happy to discuss any queries or questions you may have prior to arranging an initial appointment.
