Hello! I’m the Founder and Practitioner here at Nearish Support.

I’m an experienced qualified social worker and a proudly multiply neurodivergent, chronically-ill human providing support that doesn’t expect you to mask, push through or show up in a certain way to access it.

I bring both professional experience and lived/living understanding of navigating systems, support and self. People who I work with often describe me as warm, compassionate, knowledgeable, resourceful, and passionate yet gentle.
