My Approach

Humanistic and Integrative, with especial knowledge around autism/Asperger's syndrome and other variants of neurodiversity.

About Me

I am a seasoned autism specialist counsellor with almost two decades of experience. I possess a Master's degree in Autism alongside a PGC in Asperger's syndrome. More recently, in July 2025, after an 8-year study/training, I graduated from the Cambridge Body Psychotherapy Centre with a Diploma in Body Psychotherapy, which enabled me to become a full clinical member of the UKCP.

I work with

  • Companies
  • Couples
  • Families
  • Individuals
  • Private healthcare referrals

Special Interests

Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.

ADHD often comes with autism, and nowadays those who have and/or are interested in this combination will use the term AuDHD. I received training in ADHD through The Institute of Mental Health at the University of Nottingham, as well as in the USA.
I was honoured by Her Majesty the Queen in her birthday honours in 2016 for my work in Counselling Autistic Lives. I am the founder of Action for Neurodiversity, the UK's first organisation to offer neurodiversity-affirming therapy.
Through my experiential history, I truly understand how chronic illness and injury can adversely affect an individual.
I have dealt with many clients for whom estrangement is a feature of their lives, whether they are the estranged or the estranger; I can understand the kaleidoscope of emotions that accompany this phenomenon.
Through my vast experience working in the field of autism, I have encountered the combination of autism and transgender on multiple occasions.
