Hi , I'm Grant. 

People come to me for many reasons. Sometimes people come to work with me because they feel trapped in a world that is harsh, bleak, others are troubled by feelings of anxiety, ovewhelm and inadequacy, others can barely let themselves feel at all. 

I trained in person centred practice. Although I have developed other humanistic ways of working, that remains the core of the way I work. By jointly attending to the issues that concern you, going at the pace and depth you choose, I offer a safe time and place for you to nurture and grow. You can use this saftey to explore and meet the challenges you face with playfulness, acceptance, curiosity and compassion.

I do not diagnose, however, I have worked with many neurodiverse clients, both adult and young people, helping them process their experience. I am concious of the struggle it can be at times to navigate a neurotypical world.

I only meet in person because I like to pay attention to the whole individual and find that sharing a thereputic environment greatly helps us work. I am aware that  individuals have different demands on their time, and I am happy to be as flexible as I can with scheduling timing and frequency of meetings.
