How I can help
Whatever's weighing on you, there's space for it
People come to counselling for all sorts of reasons — and just as often for reasons they can't quite name yet. These are some of the things we might work on together.
Relationships
Difficulties with a partner, family, friends or colleagues — including the patterns that seem to repeat. A space to understand and be understood.
- Communication
- Recurring conflict
- Feeling disconnected
Anger & frustration
Anger usually has something important underneath it. We'll explore what yours is trying to tell you, without blame or judgement.
- Reacting then regretting
- Bottling things up
- Frustration & irritability
Low mood & stress
When everything feels heavy, flat or like too much. Gentle, steady support to help you feel more like yourself again.
- Burnout & stress
- Low motivation
- Feeling stuck
Life changes & loss
Bereavement, separation, work, identity, becoming a parent — the big shifts that ask a lot of us. You don't have to navigate them alone.
- Grief & loss
- Big transitions
- Loss of direction
Self-esteem & meaning
A quiet sense that something isn't right, or that you've lost sight of who you are. Space to reconnect with what matters to you.
- Confidence
- Self-criticism
- Searching for meaning

Neurodiversity-affirming
A space that works with how your mind works
Warm, affirming counselling for neurodivergent adults — including autistic and ADHD clients, and anyone questioning or self-identifying. You're welcome exactly as you are.
No masking here
You don't need to mask, perform, or sit still. Stim, fidget, look away or take pauses — whatever helps you feel at ease is genuinely welcome.
We work the way you do
Sessions flex to how you think and communicate — clear structure or open space, phone or video, and a short written summary afterwards if that helps.
Calm and low-stimulation
A quiet room with soft lighting, plus phone and video options, so the environment isn't one more thing to manage.
Strengths, not deficits
Neurodivergence isn't something to be fixed. We make sense of things together, working with how your mind works — not against it.
Book a free consultation
Affirming counselling support — not a diagnostic or assessment service.

Questions & reassurance
Call 07354 564293It's normal to have questions
A few of the things people often wonder before getting in touch. If yours isn't here, please just ask — no question is too small.
Not at all. You don't need a diagnosis, a crisis, or even the right words. If something feels difficult — or you simply have a sense that things could be better — that's reason enough to reach out.
Sessions are 50 minutes and usually take place weekly at the same time, which helps build a steady, trusting space. How long we work together is entirely up to you — some people come for a few weeks, others for longer.
Sessions are £60 each. Concessionary rates are available for students and people on a low income — please just ask. The initial 20-minute consultation is always free.
Yes. What you share is confidential and held with care, within the BACP ethical framework. There are rare legal and safeguarding limits to confidentiality, which I'll always explain clearly at the start.
Sessions can be in person at the quiet home office in Sparsholt, by telephone, or by secure video — whatever feels most comfortable and practical for you. Many people mix and match.
