September 6-Session Offer
Thinking about starting counselling this September?
For a limited time, I’m offering six individual 50-minute counselling sessions for £300 — six sessions for the price of five.
That’s a saving of £60 on my usual £60 session fee.
I specialise in working with neurodivergent adults, including ADHD, autism, dyslexia and those who have received a later diagnosis. I offer a warm, understanding and neurodiversity-affirming approach.
Sessions are available online or in person.
The offer is available to new individual clients booking during September. Sessions must be used within 8 weeks of the first session.
T&Cs apply. We’ll provide full details before booking and include them in your counselling agreement.
If you’d like to find out more or book your first session, please get in touch.

Which is right for me?
Counselling or therapeutic coaching
Not sure which you need? We'll decide together in your free consultation — many people move between the two.
Counselling
Understanding what's beneath
A reflective space to explore feelings, history and patterns — often where the past is still affecting the present.
- Explores past and present
- Focus on emotions and meaning
- Open-ended or longer-term
- Helpful for anxiety, grief, trauma, low mood
Best if you need to be heard and understood before anything changes.
Therapeutic Coaching
Moving towards what's next
A forward-focused blend of therapeutic insight and practical action, bridging where you are and where you want to be.
- Focused on the here and now
- Goal and action oriented
- Usually shorter-term
- Helpful for confidence, direction, transitions
Best if you broadly know yourself and want momentum and accountability.
Specialism
Neurodiversity-affirming counselling & coaching
You are not a problem to be solved. For neurodivergent individuals and couples, I offer a space where your wiring is understood rather than corrected — building practical strategies alongside real self-compassion.
In couples work, differences in communication and processing can quietly become conflict. Together we make those differences visible, so each of you can be heard.
Book a Consultation
ADHD
Time, focus, impulsivity and the emotional side rarely talked about.
Autism
Identity, sensory needs, routine and communication differences.
RSD
Intense responses to perceived rejection, criticism or disapproval.
Masking
The cost of camouflaging, and what unmasking safely can look like.
Emotional Regulation
Practical, body-aware strategies for overwhelm and shutdown.
Relationships
Neurodivergent couples: translating needs across different wiring.
Identity
Late diagnosis, self-understanding and rewriting an old story.
How Therapy Works
A simple, unhurried path
Reaching out is often the hardest part. Here's exactly what happens next.
Free 15-Minute Telephone or Video Chat
A relaxed phone or video call. No pressure, no commitment — just a chance to see how it feels to talk to me.
Initial Assessment
Our first full session. We explore what brings you here, what you'd like to be different, and how we'll work together.
Regular Sessions
Weekly 50-minute sessions, face-to-face in Heathfield or online. Consistent, confidential and led by what you need.
Working Towards Your Goals
We review progress together, adapt as things shift, and finish when you feel ready — with more clarity than you arrived with.
Sessions are £60 for individuals and £90 for couples, with a free 15-minute telephone or video chat to begin. Daytime, evening and online appointments are available.

Couples counselling
