For The Deep Feelers & Big Hearted People Pleasers

Accredited Interpersonal Psychotherapy & Therapeutic Neurodivergent Coaching

Registered Independent Mental Health Nurse

AuDHD Human, Artist, Writer & Parent Carer

β€œI reached out to Alice hoping that a brief period of therapy would help support me following my late diagnosis and while I had some scepticism in spending the money on myself, I cannot emphasise how life changing the time working with her has been. I have never felt so safe, seen and comfortably challenged to understand my own needs, worth and value. My neurodivergent journey is in some ways just beginning but Alice was instrumental in getting me on the right path with the right tools and with more love for myself than I've ever had in my life.”

Hello & welcome!

If you’ve landed here, it’s no accident, this is the beginning of a life-changing journey for you.

I’m Alice a late discovered AuDHD Psychotherapist, Coach and Registered Mental Health Nurse of 30 years. I’m also a parent to autistic and ADHD children, a writer and artist.

I help highly sensitive, people pleasing neurodivergent folk, untangle the beliefs and patterns that get in the way of empowered communication, nourishing healthy relationships, and powerful self-advocacy.

By exploring attachment styles, unconscious beliefs, patterns of relating to others & communication techniques, I expertly and in collaboration, guide clients back towards home, their true self, with more aligned ways of interacting, with themselves and others.

I blend science-backed techniques & evidence based strategies (IPT strategies, attachment theory, polyvagal theory, transactional analysis) with creative, practical tools like role-playing and communication analysis to reframe how you relate to yourself and other people.

Whether it's boundaries within yourself, partnerships, friendships, or workplace dynamics, it's all connected-and I help you make it work in a way that feels good for you.

Imagine…

Speaking up without apologising. No guilt, no shame - just your voice, clear and strong.

Setting boundaries that actually stick. Feeling respected, not resentful.

Ditching self-doubt for self-belief. Finally trusting your instincts.

Flourishing creatively. Letting your unique ideas shine without fear.

Living unapologetically. Enjoying a life that feels truly aligned with who you are.

A nourished nervous system. A bespoke toolbox of exercises to support your new beliefs.

You Are NOT Broken

You don’t need fixing. What you’ve been carrying is a result of conditioning, the societal messages, family patterns, and expectations that told you life has to look a certain way to be β€œworthy.” I’m here to help you rewrite those rules and reconnect with the powerful, unique person you’ve always been beneath the noise.

Why Me?

I’m not just a therapist, coach and mental health nurse; I’m a fellow traveller on this path. As a late-discovered AuDHD at the age of 47, Parent to neurodivergent children, deep feeler & recovering people pleaser, I’ve walked through the burnout, the frustration, and the yearning for something more. I’ve combined my lived experience with decades of professional expertise to create a compassionate, creative, and transformative space for you to grow.

This is your invitation to stop dimming your light and start embracing the vibrant, courageous, and unapologetically authentic person you are meant to be.
