My Holistic Specialisms in Psychology & Wellbeing
My Specialisms
As an expert psychologist specialising in trauma, neurodiversity, and mind–body health, I support individuals and organisations worldwide to understand the connections between ADHD, Autism, trauma, nervous system regulation, women’s health, and the mind–body relationship.
Through 30 years of experience, I have seen how these areas often overlap, impacting every aspect of someone’s life. This means the challenges someone faces can’t be understood in isolation and that support in the workplace is crucial.
Below you’ll find an overview of my specialisms and the kinds of topics I explore during therapy, neurodivergent coaching as well as through my training, workshops, and webinars.
-
Workplace trauma, including bullying, harassment, redundancy and burnout
Complex trauma, including childhood adversity, attachment disruption, and long-term unsafe or invalidating environments
Developmental and relational trauma, including early experiences that shape identity, safety, and self-worth
Sexual trauma and domestic abuse
Identity-based trauma, including experiences related to race, gender, sexuality, religion, or marginalisation
Nervous system dysregulation, PTSD and trauma responses, including chronic overwhelm, anxiety, emotional numbing, shutdown, dissociation, intrusive memories, or flashbacks
Trauma-informed approaches to healing, including EMDR, nervous system regulation, grounding, and body-based practices; supporting the restoration of safety, stability, confidence, and emotional resilience
-
Understanding ADHD and autism, including individual strengths, challenges, and neurocognitive differences
ADHD and autism in women, including missed, late, or misdiagnosis across the lifespan
Executive functioning differences (initiation, organisation, follow-through, time, decision-making)
Burnout and masking fatigue from sustained effort and high-demand environments
Emotional regulation differences, including rejection sensitivity and shame cycles
Sensory processing differences, including overload, social fatigue, overwhelm, and shutdown
Common internal blocks such as avoidance, task paralysis, and fear of failure
Neurodiversity in the workplace: performance pressure, communication differences, disclosure, and adjustments
Practical, strengths-based strategies for home, relationships, education, and work
Nervous system regulation, energy management, and sustainable pacing
Physical and health overlaps, including hormones, hypermobility, inflammation, immune function, and mast cell activation
-
Menstrual and reproductive health, including endometriosis, adenomyosis, pelvic pain, PCOS, PMDD, and amenorrhoea
Fertility and reproductive journeys, including infertility, assisted fertility pathways, pregnancy, pregnancy loss, birth trauma, and postnatal adjustment
Perimenopause and menopause, including mood changes, anxiety, sleep disturbance, cognitive changes (“brain fog”), fatigue, migraines, and impact on work and wellbeing
Hormonal influences on mental health, neurodivergence, emotional regulation, and nervous system functioning across the lifespan
Chronic and complex health conditions, including IBS, chronic fatigue, Long Covid, chronic pain, and the psychological impact of ongoing illness
Women’s mental health and identity across life stages, including anxiety, depression, self-esteem, body image, role transitions (e.g. motherhood, caregiving), loss of identity, and the process of reconnecting with meaning, vitality, creativity, and a sense of self beyond survival
Trauma-informed support for sexual trauma, domestic abuse, and coercive or controlling relationships
Sexual health, intimacy, and identity across different life stages
Gendered barriers in healthcare and the workplace, including dismissal, misdiagnosis, inequality, and advocacy within systems
-
A specialist, trauma-informed approach that works with mind, body, and nervous system together — understanding symptoms through the body, not just the mind.
Anxiety, low mood, emotional overwhelm, perfectionism, and stress-related patterns expressed and held in the body
Trauma-informed, body-based (somatic) work that gently explores how stress, trauma, and past experiences are held in the body — through breath, posture, muscle tension, pain, and patterns of feeling activated or shut down.
Nervous system regulation and grounding approaches, drawing on psychology, yoga, breathwork, and body-based practices to support regulation, recovery, and resilience
Movement-based release and expression, including gentle movement, shaking, stretching, dance, and sound
Learning to recognise the body’s early signals of overload and respond with regulation rather than pushing or collapse
Embodied self-care and regulation practices, including hydration, nourishment, rest, pacing, temperature exposure, and daily grounding strategies
Digestive health, gut–brain functioning, and chronic or complex physical conditions, including IBS, chronic pain, fatigue, ME/CFS, and Long Covid
Supporting conditions often experienced as difficult to treat by offering a shared language, increased agency, and tools for working with the body rather than against it
-
Stress management and nervous system regulation in high-pressure environments
Burnout prevention, recovery, and sustainable ways of working
Resilience coaching for individuals and teams, focused on capacity, pacing, and long-term wellbeing rather than endurance
Emotional regulation, boundaries, and psychological safety at work
Navigating change, uncertainty, and organisational instability with greater clarity and support

Working with managers, HR, and teams to build cultures that support wellbeing, inclusion, and realistic performance expectations
-
Digestive and gut–brain health, including IBS, IBD, functional gut disorders, pain, and medically unexplained gastrointestinal symptoms
The gut–brain axis; the interaction between digestive symptoms, stress, anxiety, mood, sleep and overall psychological wellbeing

Trauma-informed therapy and EMDR for medical trauma, chronic illness, adverse life experiences impacting digestive health
Mind–body awareness and movement-based approaches, drawing on yoga and breathwork to support nervous system regulation, recovery, and reconnection with the body
Lifestyle and wellbeing support, including sleep, exercise, energy management, and adherence to treatment plans
Digestive health identity; reconnecting with meaning and a sense of self beyond symptom management and survival
Collaborative working alongside gastroenterologists, GPs, dietitians, and other healthcare professionals to support integrated, joined-up care
How I Can Help
Across all of these areas, my work is interactive, evidence-based, and collaborative. Whether we are working on therapy or neurodivergent coaching, or designing a workshop tailored to your team or exploring a topic together in a webinar, I ensure that information is clinically informed and addressed in a compassionate, inclusive manner.
If you're looking for therapeutic support or guidance around neurodiversity, women’s health, anxiety, or trauma, for yourself or your team, I’d love to help.
Therapy
As an expert psychologist, I offer specialist support for:
Trauma and stress-related difficulties
Women’s hormonal health and wellbeing
Chronic illness, chronic fatigue (ME/CFS), long covid, pain management
Digestive health and gut-related health
Stress, burnout, anxiety, low mood, and self-esteem
Through our work together, therapy can support you to:
Develop greater emotional awareness and regulation
Reduce the impact of distressing symptoms, both emotional and physical
Build clearer routines, boundaries, and ways of communicating that feel sustainable
Strengthen self-understanding, confidence, and self-compassion
Therapy is collaborative and individualised. Our work focuses on developing a deeper understanding of your experiences, patterns, and inner world, alongside practical tools that support regulation and change. We work at a pace that respects your capacity and context, with the aim of creating meaningful, lasting change.
Neurodiversity Coaching
As a Health Psychologist and Neurodiversity Coach, I offer holistic, evidence-based support for adults with ADHD and autism.
My work sits at the intersection of coaching and clinical psychology. Alongside practical strategies, I bring a strong understanding of mental health, trauma, emotional regulation, and nervous system functioning.
This work is not about treating a diagnosis or applying generic solutions. It focuses on understanding how strengths, challenges, nervous system patterns, and life context interact, so support can be tailored in a way that is practical, respectful, and sustainable.
Through our work together, coaching and psychological support may help you to:
Understand how your brain and nervous system work, including your unique strengths and challenges
Make sense of a late diagnosis, including earlier experiences of feeling different or misunderstood and their impact over time
Identify what helps — and what gets in the way, including when, why, and how change becomes difficult or unsustainable
Identify and work with blocks around starting, sustaining, and completing tasks
Make sense of overwhelm, shutdown, or avoidance when things feel “too much”
Reduce fear of failure and long-standing patterns of self-criticism or shame
Improve regulation of energy, emotions, and attention
Build systems and structures that fit your strengths and real-life demands
Understand the impact of hormones and life stages, particularly for women and how these can affect attention, regulation, energy, and mood
Explore overlaps between neurodivergence and physical health, such as inflammation, hypermobility, immune functioning, or mast cell activation, where relevant
Training, Workshops & Webinars
If you're looking to deepen your understanding of trauma, neurodiversity, or mind–body health in a group or organisational setting, I offer a range of interactive, evidence-based sessions tailored to your needs.
Whether you're a team leader seeking inclusive wellbeing strategies, a practitioner exploring somatic approaches, or a community group curious about nervous system regulation, my training is designed to be accessible, compassionate, and clinically informed.
