Specialist therapy for autistic, ADHD and AuDHD women

Pre- and post-diagnostic therapeutic support for autistic, ADHD and AuDHD women across the UK (online) and in York.

Have you recently discovered that you may be autistic, ADHD or AuDHD?

Perhaps you've received a diagnosis, begun identifying with neurodivergent experiences, or found yourself questioning why life has always felt harder than it seems to feel for other people.

Many of the women I work with arrive feeling exhausted from years of masking, overwhelmed by everyday demands, recovering from burnout, or struggling to understand who they are beneath a lifetime of adapting to fit in.

Understanding that you are neurodivergent can bring relief, but it can also bring grief, confusion, anger, self-doubt and a need to re-evaluate how you've been living.

This is where therapy can help.

I am a BACP-registered psychotherapist, with lived experience, specialising in supporting autistic, ADHD and AuDHD women, particularly those who are late-identified, recently diagnosed, self-identifying, recovering from burnout, or navigating the impact of hormones and peri-menopause on their neurodivergence.

Rather than simply providing information about autism or ADHD, I help women explore the emotional and psychological impact of being neurodivergent and begin building lives that feel more sustainable, authentic and compassionate.

I offer two pathways of support:

1 - Navigate Neurodivergence: A Structured Therapeutic Journey

Navigate Neurodivergence is my six-session therapeutic programme for women who want a clear framework for making sense of their experiences and creating meaningful change.

Together we explore:

• Your Neurodivergent Story - Making sense of your experiences and understanding what this new awareness means for you.
• Masking, Authenticity and Identity - Exploring the impact of adapting, fitting in and losing connection with yourself.
• Burnout, Capacity and Nervous System Needs - Understanding overwhelm, recovery, energy and sustainable ways of living.
• Self-Criticism, Shame and Self-Compassion - Developing a kinder relationship with yourself and challenging long-held beliefs.
• Relationships, Boundaries and Needs - Exploring communication, connection, people-pleasing and authentic relationships.
• Creating a Sustainable Life - Building a future that works with your strengths, needs and neurodivergent way of being.

While psychoeducation may be included where helpful, this is primarily a therapeutic process focused on reflection, self-understanding, emotional wellbeing and lasting change.

2 - Ongoing Specialist Therapy

Alongside Navigate Neurodivergence, I also offer longer-term neurodivergent-affirming psychotherapy for women who would benefit from deeper or ongoing support.

Common areas include:

• Neurodivergent burnout
• Anxiety and overwhelm
• Late-discovery autism, ADHD and AuDHD
• Identity and self-esteem
• Boundaries and relationships
• Peri-menopause and menopause
• Grief and life transitions
• Trauma-informed therapeutic support

Qualifications

• Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP)
• Level 7 Postgraduate Diploma in Humanistic Counselling (Distinction)
• BA (Hons) Education for Children and Young People with Special Educational Needs (First Class Honours)
• Additional specialist training in autism, autistic masking, neurodivergent wellbeing and nervous-system regulation

Free 20 - 30 min Introduction Chat

The purpose of the introduction call is to find out what issues you are keen to work on and to explain a little of how I work.

I will ask some questions about your challenges and how they are impacting you across your life - home, work, relationships, sleep etc. I will take some contact info and make some notes (which are destroyed if we do not go on to work together).

If I think at the end of the call that I can support you, I’ll share that with you and we can discuss how it would work. But, if I feel that I am not the best person to help you I’ll tell you and if I know someone who could help, I’ll point you in their direction instead.
