Why I do this work
For many of the people I work with, life has been a long exercise in adapting. Adapting to workplaces, to family expectations, to systems that didn’t quite fit. Years of masking, people-pleasing, and pushing through have left them exhausted and unsure of who they really are beneath it all.
I understand the need for therapy adapted around your needs after years of work supporting neurodivergent, learning disabled and chronically ill people professionally in mental health and therapy settings.
I know this experience from both sides of the therapy room. As a neurodivergent woman and parent of neurodivergent daughters, I have lived experience of how it feels to move through a world that wasn’t built with you in mind. I also know how healing it can be to find a space where you don’t have to explain or prove yourself, where your needs are taken seriously and respected.
That’s why I offer therapy that adapts to you.
A space for deep, meaningful and lasting change
Kay has an exceptional ability to create a space where clients feel safe to explore every part of their experience. She works at a pace that truly honours the individual, allowing therapy to move beyond surface-level coping into deep, meaningful, and lasting change. Her work is intuitive, compassionate, and grounded in a neuro-affirming, trauma-informed approach that many clients have never experienced before.
I highly recommend Kay as a trainer
I highly recommend Kay as a trainer who brings a wealth of both professional expertise and lived experience. The training has been a huge success and has received fantastic feedback.
I highly recommend her gentle, calm approach
Kay has a vast knowledge of neurodiversity grounded in professional and lived experience, which is appreciated by all our participants who report feeling at ease, validated in their experiences and less alone. It’s always a pleasure to collaborate with Kay and I highly recommend her gentle, calm approach to supporting neurodivergent people.
How I Can Support You
I offer three therapy options, designed to adapt to your needs. You can choose the format that feels most supportive for you, and we can change it as your needs change.

A little more about me
In common with many autistic people, I’m curious, always learning and developing new skills and collaborating with other therapists to build new resources.
Currently I am working with:
Outside of therapy, nature is where I recharge. Whether walking in the woods or sitting quietly outdoors, I find the natural world offers calm and perspective, and that’s part of why I love weaving it into my therapeutic work. I also enjoy mindfulness practices and time with my family.
Ready to Take the Next Step?
If you’re curious about in-door or eco-therapy, the best way to find out if it’s for you is to try it. We’ll start with a consultation to talk through what you need, what feels safe, and how sessions could work for you.
