Welcome to Transpose Therapy and Wellness

After 20 years in education — where I specialised in adolescent development and quickly learned that young people are far more complicated than the curriculum allows for — I pursued a Master of Guidance and Counselling and haven't looked back since.

My practice is grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) — two approaches I genuinely believe in because they start from a place of curiosity rather than fixing. I'm not interested in making you "normal." I'm interested in helping you understand yourself better, live more authentically, and stop trading who you actually are for the sake of keeping the peace.

I work primarily with neurodivergent and queer people across the lifespan, with a particular focus on older teens and adults. A significant part of my work sits in the late-diagnosed and undiagnosed space — because getting a diagnosis at 35, 45, or 55 doesn't mean you're starting over. It means everything finally starts making sense.

As a qualified ADHD Coach and counsellor, I support clients in understanding their own neurodiversity on their own terms — not as a deficit to manage, but as a wiring system worth understanding. That includes navigating neurodivergent burnout, learning to unmask, and figuring out how to advocate for yourself in relationships, workplaces, and spaces that weren't exactly designed with you in mind.

I also work with neurodiverse communication in relationships — both couples work and the broader relational challenges that come with being neurodivergent in a world full of people who communicate very differently. This isn't about teaching you to perform neurotypical. It's about building a shared language that actually works.

I'm not your typical counsellor — and if you've spent years not quite gelling with a therapist, that might be exactly why you're here. With lived experience as a neurodivergent person and a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I bring a perspective that's personal as well as professional. I'm direct, real, and genuinely invested in the people I work with.

My approach is trauma-informed and person-centred, and grounded in the belief that authenticity isn't a luxury — it's a non-negotiable. So when we unmask, the rest is 20/20.

I believe therapy should feel like a supportive conversation, not a clinical appointment. After completing my Bachelor of Psychological Science, I was drawn to counselling to help people find calm, connection, and confidence in their everyday lives.

I focus on working with children and adolescents, and I'm passionate about supporting anyone ready to explore their experiences and work towards meaningful change. As an LGBTQIA+ ally with experience working with neurodiverse individuals, I understand that each person's unique differences are strengths. With younger clients, I use play therapy and art therapy to help them express what words sometimes can't capture, creating natural pathways for processing experiences and developing emotional skills.

My approach is trauma-informed and person-centered, drawing from evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I tailor my methods to what feels most helpful and authentic for each individual.

Whether we're working through play, creative expression, mindfulness practices, or practical skill-building, I'm committed to creating a space where you can understand your challenges, discover your strengths, and develop strategies that create lasting, positive change in your life.

I started out as a high school teacher, which was an excellent crash course in two things: how systems fail young people, and how much of that failure happens long before anyone calls it a crisis. I made the shift into counselling because I wanted to do something about that, and I'm now on the pathway to becoming a registered psychologist.

Most of my career so far has been spent in crisis and acute need — which sounds heavy, and it is, but it also taught me the most important lesson of my practice: by the time someone arrives in crisis, the supports they actually needed were missing years ago. My work now is geared towards stopping that cycle. Getting in earlier. Building the scaffolding before things fall down.

My practice draws on Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) — approaches I lean on because they're practical, evidence-based, and flexible enough to actually meet people where they are. I'm a trans man and neurodivergent, and I work primarily in queer and neurodivergent space, grounding my practice in both empirical research and lived experience — because in this work, one without the other only ever gets you halfway. I'm especially interested in helping queer clients move from surviving to thriving, making sense of earlier experiences that never quite added up at the time, and reframing the deficit narratives we've all been handed at one point or another.

My goal is straightforward: I want to help you understand yourself, and figure out how to make life work for you — not the other way around. I take the relationships I build with clients seriously, and the ones that work best are the ones built slowly, on mutual trust and respect.
