I’m a neuroaffirming, accredited person-centred, CBT and EMDR counsellor based in Birkenhead, Wirral with a special focus on working with neurodivergent teenagers, young adults, and their families. I offer a safe, accepting space where you can explore what’s going on in your life without fear of judgment or pressure to be anyone other than yourself.
I work extensively with young people and adults facing a wide range of issues including anxiety, low mood, identity struggles, school trauma, bullying, friendship challenges, grief and loss, family breakdown, disordered eating and self-harm. I also have experience working with clients who have lived through recent or historic emotional, physical, or sexual abuse. I work in a way that’s flexible, person-centred and supportive, tailoring sessions to suit each individual’s needs.
I work to support those who may have recently received a diagnosis, or are considering if diagnosis might be right for them. This is a space where you will be met with understanding, not assumptions. My approach is rooted in the belief that neurodivergence is something to be celebrated, not “fixed,” and I’m always guided by your pace and preferences.
As well as 1:1 counselling, I also work in schools in Wirral, offer training for other practitioners interested in building their skills around working with neurodivergent clients, am a qualified supervisor and am Co-Director of Birkenhead Park Counselling Centre.
I’m an Accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP 398389), working within their ethical framework.
