Who I Work With

Counselling can support a wide range of experiences. You might be:

• Feeling anxious, low, or emotionally overwhelmed

• Navigating burnout, particularly in creative or high-pressure environments

• Exploring identity, neurodivergence, or a sense of “not quite fitting in”

• Working through relationship challenges, family dynamics, or life transitions 

• Living with self-doubt, perfectionism, or a harsh inner critic

• Wanting to understand yourself more deeply or feel more emotionally connected

I work one-to-one with adults (18+) in a space that is:

🧠 Neurodivergent-affirming

⚧️ GSRD-affirmative (Gender, Sexual, and Relationship Diversity)

🌿 Vegan-friendly

🏳️‍🌈 LGBTQIA+ inclusive

This space is especially attuned to:

Neurodivergent adults, or those beginning to explore whether this language resonates with their experience. This includes ADHD, autism, AuDHD, OCD, dyslexia, dyscalculia, dyspraxia, Tourette’s, and other ways of thinking, processing, and experiencing the world. Your traits are recognised and respected as part of human diversity, rather than something to be fixed or pathologised.

Adults working in the arts or entertainment industry — from performers to behind-the-scenes and office-based roles — who are navigating the pressures, unpredictability, and emotional demands of creative work. With lived experience in the arts and music industries, I bring an understanding of the unique challenges this work can involve.

How Online Counselling Sessions Work

All sessions are held online via a secure and easy-to-use video platform. There’s no software to download — you’ll receive a waiting room link at the start of our work together, which you can use for each session.

Sessions are usually held once a week, in a regular time slot, to support consistency and a sense of rhythm in our work. At the same time, I recognise the realities of freelance life, performance schedules, executive dysfunction, and the demands of creative industries. Where possible, I aim to offer flexibility if your needs or availability change.

You’re welcome to come just as you are. Some people find it helpful to arrive with notes or ideas; others prefer to speak freely in the moment. We can also explore more creative ways of working if that feels supportive for you — this might include writing, music, imagery, or other forms of expression.

We’ll work at a pace that feels manageable, and I’ll regularly check in with you about how the process is feeling. If there are any adjustments that would help make the space more accessible, comfortable, or supportive, you’re very welcome to discuss these with me at any time.

You might also find my FAQ page helpful.

Getting Started With Online Counselling

I offer a free 20-minute introductory call — a relaxed, no-pressure space for us to meet, talk about what’s bringing you to therapy, and get a sense of whether working together feels like a good fit.

If we decide to move forward, I’ll send you a short form to complete along with a therapy agreement. Once this is in place, we’ll arrange an initial session, where we can go through the agreement together, talk about any reasonable adjustments, and begin our work at a pace that feels right for you.
