I am a qualified person-centred psychotherapist based in the UK and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. I know what being on the other side of a page like this can feel and look like, beyond the aesthetics and the simple words that oversimplify our human experience. My journey into this space began over 15 years ago with my therapeutic journey, the unlearning and relearning, the reparenting and the painful growth that followed. I volunteer at a charity organisation for people who cannot access therapy in the community, as well as a tutor for adult learners who are embarking on the beginning of their journey as a counsellor. I am deeply passionate about the neurodiverse community and how little support is available for parents, children and adults alike who struggle to be understood.

I would like to think that knowing what true darkness and despair can feel like has allowed me to become a better therapist. Most of us do not want to give up - I presume that is why you are reading this.
