About me

Who am I?

I’m an Integrative Counsellor- this means I’m not wedded to any one type of therapy – different people need different things at different times. We can work together on finding out what you need.

I have a background working with neurodiversity – especially ADHD and autism – depression and anxiety, and developmental trauma. There is no single ‘right’ way to be in this world, and we all have to find our own path. No two lives will ever look the same.

I believe in a holistic understanding of people – we are more than just our bodies, or our thoughts, or feelings, or behaviours. We are a complex system comprising all of these, as well as the relationships we have with other people, with the world around us, and the various parts within us.

For a deeper dive into my personal approach to the work, check out the Elemental Wellbeing section – we can incorporate as much or as little of this as you like.

Elemental Wellbeing

My framework of wellbeing, based on my own understanding of psychology, physiology, neuroscience and philosophy. What is needed to live a good life? What has to be in place for us, as humans, to achieve a sense of wellness, mental and physical health, and connectedness with ourselves and something greater? Elemental Wellbeing tries to answer the question – what are the necessary components, and how do we achieve them? This is an ongoing exploration – start with the introduction here.
