I am a 47 year old nonbinary AuDHD counsellor and counselling psychologist in training, with over 10 years of experience working within the private sector, NHS and charities. I have a private practice where I work with a variety of clients, with a range of difficulties. Not all my clients are neurodivergent, nor do they have to be, however being a AuDHD counsellor does give me added insight into the experiences of ND clients. I work online providing support for clients; being in private practice does mean that I can offer greater flexibility as we both work from our preferred

UKCP Registered Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and BABCP Provisionally Registered CBT Therapist. I believe we are fellow travellers in our striving for self-knowledge and health, and sometimes we need a guide to support our desire to understand ‘why we do what we do’. My approach explores how the past affects what we do in the here and now, identifies inner resources and strengths, as well as teaches simple but effective strategies to better manage feelings, thoughts and behaviour and reverse the cycles of anxiety, depression or low mood we can get locked into.

Hi I’m Mel. I’m an Integrative counsellor working online via Zoom. My specialist areas are in domestic abuse (and also in eating disorders, please see my other profile). I can help explore anger, shame, violent behaviour, abuse, coercive control, manipulation, narcissism, and more – for those who have perpetrated or have been a victim of these behaviours. I have worked on perpetrator programmes in group settings and 1:1, and utilise these experiences in my counselling work with individuals who would like to understand and change their behaviours.
