Welcome

I am a firm believer that therapy doesn't need to be stilted to be effective, I have a relaxed approach and meet my own needs so I'm fully present with you (which usually looks like wearing colourful leggings, comfy t shirts, and sitting on one of the beanbags in my therapy room)! I've had private therapy before and the rigid, sitting in silence, warm but generic smile unnerved me, so I am who I am and if that aligns with what works for you, awesome! If not, that's awesome too, I sincerely hope you find your therapeutic match. 

All that being said, I have a masters qualification in Psychotherapy and Counselling with a further undergraduate degree in Psychology and Counselling. I have been neurodivergent specialising since 2018 with a full enhanced DBS safety check done yearly and I undertake specific training to further my understanding of client needs. 

I offer face to face therapy as a local counsellor in Skipton, and digital therapy via Zoom.

As an autistic and ADHD individual with many chronic illnesses, I understand how quickly simple events can become overwhelming and support from friends and family may not be enough. Finding a counsellor who understands you can be pivotal in your healing process and I hope that my personal and professional experience can support you in a way that allows you to take control of your life again or simply understand yourself better. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask them via my contact page. There is no obligations to begin therapy and I'm happy to help where I can.

If you have any questions, need more information, or want to arrange sessions please contact me on the button below. There is no obligation to begin sessions and I offer a free 20 minute introductory call to allow us to get to know each other and see if we could work together. I refer to it as my "Vibe Check" because we will both know quite quickly if we want to work together!
