I'm a trauma-informed psychotherapist and counsellor offering gentle therapy for people navigating complex trauma, neurodivergence, grief, chronic health conditions, relationship issues and life transitions. My work is practical, affirming, slow-paced, and attuned to nervous system needs. I draw from modalities like Somatic Psychotherapy, EMDR, Polyvagal Theory, and mindfulness. I honour each client as the expert of their own experience and support healing in a way that feels safe, spacious, and led by you. My practice is neurodivergent-affirming, gender diverse, anti-pathologising, and grounded in the belief that you don’t need to be ‘fixed’, you need to be heard, felt, and met with care.

Why the Spoony community matters to me

I believe in care that centres lived experience, nervous system safety, and accessibility, not just as buzzwords, but as foundations of real healing. As a therapist who works with many neurodivergent, disabled, and chronically ill clients, I’ve witnessed how often people are overlooked, dismissed, traumatised, or misattuned to in traditional mental health systems. The Spoony community matters to me because it’s a space that validates people as they are, and honours them. It’s a privilege to be part of a platform creating the kind of care I believe in: slow, spacious, affirming, and human centred. I am also a neurodivergent person, who parents neurodivergent children, and a transgender child.
