Hi, I’m Toni.
I’m a counsellor and coach, a mum, and co-founder of a community interest company providing neurodivergent support for adults and families.
I offer a calm, supportive space for people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, burnt out, or unsure of themselves. Many of the people I work with are navigating ADHD, autism, late diagnosis, masking, identity shifts, emotional overwhelm, or the feeling that life has become too much to keep carrying in the same way.
My work is gentle, practical, and neurodivergent-affirming. I do not believe support should be about fixing who you are. It is about understanding what you have been carrying, making sense of your patterns, and finding ways forward that feel realistic for your life and your brain.
Through counselling, I offer space to explore emotions, past experiences, relationships, self-worth, burnout, and the impact of trying to cope for a long time.
Through coaching, I support people to move forward with more clarity, structure, and self-trust, especially during times of change, transition, or rebuilding.
Alongside my private practice, I co-founded Unmasked Neurodiversity Network CIC, a community organisation supporting neurodivergent adults and families through counselling and community projects.
Whether you are looking for counselling, coaching, or simply beginning to understand yourself differently, you are welcome here.

My role isn't to tell you who you should be, what you should do or where you should be in life.
Instead, I offer a supportive, collaborative space where we can explore where you are now, what's getting in the way, what you need and what matters to you.
Together, we can recognise your strengths, make sense of your experiences and explore what might help you move towards a life that feels right for you.
Every person is different, so I tailor my approach to your individual needs. I bring together my counselling and coaching skills, drawing on a range of approaches including Person-Centred Therapy, Transactional Analysis, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy and creative techniques, depending on what feels most helpful for you.
You don't have to choose between counselling and coaching.
Sometimes you may need space to understand and process what you're experiencing. Sometimes you may want practical support to explore possibilities, make decisions or move forward.
Often, it's a combination of both. There isn't a set formula.
We start where you are and work from there.
I regularly work with adults with:
I am a BACP Accredited Counsellor, committed to working ethically and maintaining high professional standards through ongoing supervision and continuing professional development.
My qualifications include:
I am fully insured, ICO registered and work in accordance with the BACP Ethical Framework.
When I'm not working with clients, you'll usually find me spending time with my family, walking my dogs, enjoying the outdoors or developing new resources to support the neurodivergent community.
I'm also the co-founder of Unmasked Neurodiversity Network CIC, a community interest company providing affordable neurodiversity-affirming counselling, coaching and support.
I'm passionate about making support more accessible and helping people feel understood, accepted and empowered.
Whether you're looking for counselling to process the past or coaching to
help shape your future, I'd be honoured to support you.
I'd love to help you take the next step.
