About me
Hi, I'm Angela. Welcome.
I'm an integrative counsellor and neurodiversity coach with over 20 years' experience supporting people through life's challenges. I'm also a neurodivergent woman and a parent, and that lived experience is at the heart of how I work.
My story
My approach is grounded in warmth, authenticity and a flexible, person-centred ethos. I trained at Metanoia Institute, graduating with a First-Class BSc (Hons) in Reflective Therapeutic Practice, and I have specialist training in mindfulness-based approaches and neurodiversity coaching.
Alongside my private practice, I also work as an ADHD Single Point of Access Pathway Navigator in an NHS adult ADHD service.
I have a particular interest in supporting women exploring later-life ADHD and autism diagnoses, helping you develop self-understanding, acceptance and confidence in who you are. I see private clients online across the UK and in person in Bispham, Blackpool.
What I bring to our work
Lived experience
As a neurodivergent woman, I understand masking, overwhelm and the relief of finally making sense of yourself. You won't have to explain everything from scratch.
Counselling & coaching
I offer therapeutic counselling and solution-focused coaching. Sessions can be one or the other, or a blend of both, shaped around what you need at the time.
A calm, body-aware approach
I'm also a trained yoga and mindfulness teacher. When it helps, I weave in gentle grounding and breathing, always at your pace and only if it suits you.

Outside the therapy room
I'm happiest walking my dogs and soaking up the sunshine. I love new adventures, learning and exploring, and I find real joy, freedom and flow in solo travel. I bring that same curiosity and openness to our sessions, encouraging connection to whatever brings you comfort and a sense of belonging.
Ready when you are.
Choosing a counsellor can feel overwhelming. A relaxed 15-minute chat is often the best place to start.
