Get to know me better

As a parent of two neurodiverse young people — one of whom is also transgender — I deeply understand the unique challenges that can come with growing up in a world that often doesn’t accommodate difference.

My professional journey has always been rooted in supporting children and young people. I began as a primary school teacher before moving into group therapy, where I supported young siblings of children with disabilities. In addition, I’ve worked as a counsellor in primary, secondary, and special schools, helping young people navigate the difficulties they face both at home and in the classroom.

This work is also personal to me. I have a neurodiverse sibling, which has given me lifelong insight into the complexities and resilience that often accompany neurodivergence. These lived and professional experiences shape my empathetic and inclusive approach to supporting others.

I am warm, friendly and work in a child centred, creative way to allow the young person to feel comfortable, understood and build resillience and improve their overall wellness.  

I believe the therapeutic relationship is the most valuabe aspect of counselling.  As each young person is unique, I develop an individual plan to address their specific needs and goals.  

Who I work with . 

Adolesence

Adolesence is already a challenging time, but being neurodiverse can add unique difficulties. Whether this is social issues, sensory,  school or emotional and mental health challenges. I can unpick and support your teenager on this journey.  

Sibling Support

As an adult with a neurodiverse sibling, I  understand the challenges that  siblings who have a brother/sister face, I support the sibling to have greater understanding, as well as learn strategies to enhance their own mental wellbeing and resillience.  This service also extends to adults too.
