I am passionate about creating
equal opportunities for all individuals
Accessible counselling
Hello, I am a qualified online counsellor offering compassionate support for adults (18+) navigating the challenges of disability, neurodivergence, chronic fatigue, anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. I work in a creative way around identity exploration and improving mental well being.
I work in a neurodiversity-affirming way with individuals who are autistic, ADHD, dyslexia, or dyspraxia. Many of the people I support are processing the emotional impact of a diagnosis, as well as balancing study or career demands or managing caregiving responsibilities.
Together, we can explore how your experiences — including health, work, and relationships — have shaped your sense of self. I’m passionate about providing inclusive, individual focussed support and promoting equal opportunities for everyone I work with.
My services
General counselling
Life can feel overwhelming — but you don’t have to face it alone. I offer online counselling for issues like stress, anxiety, depression, loss, life changes, and reaching personal, work or study goals. Together, we’ll explore what’s going on and find a way forward that feels right for you.
Neurodiversity
I offer supportive counselling for adults navigating disability and neurodivergence, including autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and dyspraxia. My approach is affirming, flexible and tailored to your needs — whether that means evening sessions or adapting how we communicate, I can work with you to create a space that feels accessible and supportive.
Chronic pain & fatigue
Living with chronic pain or fatigue can make it harder to access support — this is why I offer flexible counselling options to meet your needs. This might include shorter sessions, meeting fortnightly instead of weekly, or using paced emails or text instead of video. Together, we’ll find a way of working that honours your energy and supports your wellbeing.
Sessions are flexible and tailored to your needs — whether that means adapting to your energy, sensory, or time requirements. You can choose from webcam sessions, live typed messaging, or weekly email exchanges.
Not sure if online counselling is right for you? I offer one-off taster or listening sessions, and I’m happy to arrange a free 20-minute phone call to explore what might work best.
I’m passionate about making counselling truly accessible — everyone deserves the chance to improve their well-being and feel heard.
Pricing: Sessions are £36 per hour, with reduced-rate options available for those on lower incomes — please email for details.

Other considerations
Like all forms of counselling, online counselling requires a commitment of time, emotional energy, and reflection. It also involves a financial cost, as with any professional service — however, I do offer reduced rates for individuals on a low income.
Online counselling also relies on consistent internet access and some basic digital skills. For example, you may need to access emails, use video conferencing tools, and open password-protected documents (especially for email counselling, to maintain confidentiality).
To support your safety and privacy online, I recommend reviewing this guide to staying safe online — while aimed at women, it offers useful advice for everyone. You may also wish to visit GetSafeOnline.org for further tips.
Since online counselling involves sharing personal information over the internet, I take data protection very seriously. I use Kaspersky Internet Security for a high level of digital protection, and all sensitive documents are stored securely using Steganos Safe 19 with password protection.
