about me…
I have just completed a Level 7 Post Graduate Certificate in ADHD, and have been offered the doctoral pathway.
I hold a CPCAB Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. I hold ITEC diplomas in Holistic Therapy and have qualifications in Breathwork and Meditation for children and adults whilst regularly undertaking CPD courses to inform and shape the way I work. I am fully insured and hold MNCPS (Accred) and MBACP, which means I’m an accredited member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
how I work…
I work uniquely. As an integrative therapist, I draw upon different modalities in my work, meaning each therapeutic relationship feels unique. I believe in creating a space for you to explore and process your narrative freely - without judgement.
Having a lived experience of ADHD and being a mother of two neurodiverse children enables me to support clients with ADHD. I also work with clients who wish to support another with ADHD, such as parents or partners.
I believe that working with ADHDers in a therapeutic space is unique. It requires a dynamic way of working, full of curiosity and wonder.
my story...
Working in the fast-paced world of broadcasting felt overwhelming and all-consuming. Becoming a mother mirrored those feelings, mixed with soul-deep purpose and expectation.
Suffering from PND, I enlisted a therapist. On my therapeutic journey, I discovered myself. It felt raw. An unpeeling of layers. It began to make sense. Realisations were had. Further explorations developed into a passion for psychotherapy.
Being a therapist and working with clients feels meaningful and worthwhile. Discovering my ADHD after years of advocating for my ADHD child has organically soaked into my therapeutic work. My academic research and personal understanding of ADHD inform the way I work.
Outside of my work, I enjoy being with my children, riverside stomps with my dog, writing, creating (in a variety of ways) and reading. Mainly via audible, but still.
"At one time or another, most of us have felt trapped by things we find ourselves thinking or doing… imprisoned by our own history. We feel unable to go forward and yet we believe that there must be a way.”
