Hello and Welcome to my website ...

Counselling and Life Coaching can be a great support during times when things feel overwhelming, unmanageable and/or problematic; however, from conversations with clients, I understand that contacting a counsellor for the first time can be daunting.  I would like to reassure anyone thinking of contacting me that I offer a warm, friendly, relaxed and supportive environment; enabling clients to work through thoughts, problems and feelings in a confidential and non-judgmental setting.   

During the past six years, after my own ADHD diagnosis at the age of 41, I have largely worked with clients diagnosed with ADHD, seeking assessment, or those who suspect they have the condition.  I also offer professional development courses to fellow therapists, providing education about ADHD and the traits associated with a diagnosis.

Given that restlessness has been one of my greatest personal ADHD challenges, I refer to myself as 'the restless therapist'.  But please rest assured, you will have my full attention in the therapy room.  I will bring my lived-experiences and understanding of ADHD to our sessions, and assist you in building improved self awareness and self-compassion.

My belief is that 'you' are the expert of your life and I will work alongside you in order to help you find the answers/solutions that are right for you.   

I am a qualified Counselling Psychotherapist, Life Coach & Clinical Supervisor working in Nottingham (NG9 and online).   My office is easily accessible by car (with free on-street parking).  And is also accessible by public transport (Trent Barton I4).​

Experience
I've spent over eighteen years working in a range of therapeutic settings including private practice, an FE College, a Bereavement Service, and an Addictions Centre.  In addition, I have worked in pastoral roles in both colleges and universities for over 27 years.    

I work with adults (18+) and specialise in:
  • relationship counselling and working with individuals who are going through divorce, separation and/or managing difficult relationships. 
  • supporting those diagnosed with ADHD and/or their family members 

If you feel counselling or coaching could be beneficial for you, please visit my 'contact me' page.
