My Approach

I believe our maladaptive coping mechanisms are frequently creative and courageous attempts at problem-solving. Working collaboratively, with empathy and radical compassion, I ground the work in deepening awareness, responsibility and choice, and freedom. Working from the position that it is rarely the individual who is broken, but rather that the world is often hostile to difference, I attend to my client’s internal world and their wider relationships.

I support clients in making sense of what helps and what hinders in the pursuit of authenticity and happiness.

Please note, all of my reduced fee spaces are currently full.

About Me

I have extensive experience working with dual diagnosis and eating disorders, both in 1-2-1’s and in groups. As someone personally diagnosed with ADHD late in life, I have a particular interest in ADHD/ASD and the Neurodivergent experience in a predominantly Neurotypical world. Most recently, I led the eating disorders treatment at the Outpatient and Residential secondary treatment centre, Start2Stop, where clients navigate their “bridge to normal living”.
