A little bit about me…
It’s good to get to know a little bit about the person behind the therapy before we get started, right?
I’m originally from Derby but I moved up here in 2015 to start my undergraduate degree in Psychology and well, basically never left… So York has become my home over the past 11 years!
Outside of work I love live music, concerts, rock and metal in particular, and festivals. They are a real happy place and music is a special interest of mine, long standing favourites are My Chemical Romance and Sleep Token.
I enjoy getting into a new TV series with my partner (the more seasons the better) but also have my trusty fave movies! They are Alice in Wonderland, The Rock Horror Picture Show and Toy Story.
I enjoy being by the water whether that’s a beach or a stream. In the summer you will find me enjoying a Greek beach as it’s somewhere I’ve holidayed throughout childhood and adulthood.
I am on my own journey with being diagnosed autistic in 2024 and ADHD in 2025 and this is something I am exploring in the day to day.
Areas of counselling I work with
I am comfortable working with a wide variety of presenting issues, typically individuals tend to reach out to me to explore things like: anxiety, low mood, navigating being neurodivergent, burnout, how to accommodate themselves more, exploring who they are when they begin to unmask. I have a special interest in working with OCD (diagnosed or not). If you’re not sure, feel free to get in contact and ask! If it is an area I feel I won’t be the best fit for you, I’m happy to suggest other counsellors who may be more appropriate for your needs.
