OnlineI’m a senior neuro-affirming and LGBTQIA+-affirming, trauma-trained therapist (BABCP-accredited) and mindfulness teacher. I have over 10 years of experience in lots of different mental health services, including as NHS senior clinician and university clinical supervisor. I’ve also dabbled in academic research and healthtech, and have 4 degrees.
But I think that all of that means squat if you don’t feel safe, heard, and understood by me. So – I don’t do polished; expect humanity, authenticity, and a silly sense of humour.
Also, I’m an anxious overachiever myself, have practised mindfulness personally since 2015, and have had my own therapy. I’ll be human first, always- bringing humour and honesty, so you feel at ease.

I’m an experienced, yet very human BABCP-accredited CBT therapist specialising in working with high-achievers with low self-esteem, high-functioning anxiety, or OCD, including autistic and ADHD folks, as well as LGBTQIA+ folks. I use evidence-based approaches – Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), but really from an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness perspective (I’m also a mindfulness teacher) – so if you’ve tried CBT before and haven’t really connected with it, I might be your person. Maybe your life looks great, but inside you feel inadequate and like you’ll be ‘found out’. Anxiety, intrusive thoughts, overwhelm; feeling stuck, not good enough; overpreparing, procrastinating, checking; it may all actually be a fear of failure. My approach? Challenge what’s unhelpful while honouring your experiences and unique brain – so you unhook from the “there’s something wrong with me” loop and live your truth. We’ll work with the anxiety, intrusive thoughts, overwhelm, procrastination, overthinking, but also with what’s underneath – expectations, fear of failure or vulnerability, of being found out. We’ll both explore deeply and use active interventions to get you to a place where you don’t just survive, but really live your life. This may look like less noise, overthinking, or limiting yourself; more peace, balance and understanding – and knowing, deep down, that you’re enough.
