Overview

Individual telehealth therapy is available for older adolescents aged 16+ and adults and is grounded in neuroaffirming, gender-affirming, culturally responsive and trauma-informed practice.

As a Clinical Psychologist, I work collaboratively with people to better understand their experiences, build on their strengths and develop practical, sustainable ways of supporting wellbeing.

Therapy may involve exploring identity, relationships, recurring patterns and the impact of broader social and systemic factors in ways that align with your values, goals and lived experience.

I have particular interest and experience in supporting:

  • neurodivergent adolescents and adults

  • trans and gender-diverse people

  • LGBTQIA+ communities

  • people navigating chronic health conditions or disability

  • parents and caregivers of neurodivergent and/or gender-diverse children and young people

Parent and caregiver consultations may involve work with parents of children or adolescents of any age. The parent or caregiver is the primary client for these appointments.

Approach

Therapy is adapted to your goals, communication style and ways of processing.

Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model, we work together to develop an approach that is meaningful, practical and sustainable.

Therapy is shaped around three interconnected areas:

Understanding — shared formulation

Developing a contextual understanding of your experiences, including identity, neurotype, relationships and the impact of broader systems.

Supporting — regulation and capacity

Building practical ways of supporting nervous system regulation, emotional processing and everyday life.

Integrating — meaningful change

Supporting identity integration and meaningful change in ways that align with your values, goals and pace.

This work draws from person-centred, trauma-informed, minority stress-informed, nervous system-informed, parts-informed and adapted skills-based approaches.

I do not use approaches that seek to normalise or change neurodivergent ways of being. The focus is on understanding, self-knowledge and building a life that works for you.

How sessions are adapted

Sessions are flexible and responsive to different communication styles and processing needs.

This may include:

  • flexible pacing

  • use of silence

  • written or chat-based communication

  • visual supports

  • flexibility in how experiences are explored and expressed

What can therapy help with?

Therapy can support a range of experiences, including stress, burnout, identity exploration, relationships, and navigating life transitions.

Identity, relationships, and life experiences

  • minority stress, relationships and systemic impacts

  • grief, loss and navigating systems

  • parenting and family dynamics

  • identity exploration and integration

Mental health and wellbeing

  • anxiety, low mood and OCD experiences

  • burnout, nervous system load and capacity

  • eating differences and body image

Health and neurodivergence

  • chronic health and disability

  • neurodivergence, including autism and ADHD

  • hormonal transitions, including gender-affirming hormone therapy, menstrual cycle-related mood changes, PMDD, perimenopause and menopause

  • gender-affirming care pathways and support alongside medical care

Parent and caregiver consultation

Parent and caregiver consultation may be available for parents seeking support in understanding and responding to the needs of neurodivergent and/or gender-diverse children and adolescents.

This work may include:

  • understanding autism, ADHD and AuDHD

  • regulation, escalation and nervous system needs

  • neuroaffirming approaches to boundaries and behaviour

  • balancing accommodation, expectations and skill-building

  • family and sibling dynamics

  • parenting stress and burnout

  • supporting identity and self-understanding

  • navigating school, healthcare or other systems

These appointments are focused on supporting the parent or caregiver. The child or young person does not need to attend.
