About me and my therapy practice

Neurodiversity brings with it unique strengths, but also difficulties. Are you experiencing a heightened sensory experience, struggles with change, burnout, pressure of external expectations. As a autistic therapist with lived experience dealing with many of the same challenges, I bring empathy and a genuine understanding into every session.

My goal is to help you feel supported, valued, and empowered. However you may be feeling, whether it is in the freedom of the skies or in the deepest hole. The therapeutic process can give us the ability to sculpt and create a vision of belonging that can help you to flourish.

How I support the autistic / adhd community-

As mentioned previously I am a autistic therapist providing neurodiversity-affirming therapy for autistic and ADHD clients. I offer support to those struggling with the following -

autistic / ADHD / AuDHD burnout recovery
executive dysfunction,
the complex process of unmasking,
nervous system regulation
sensory overload
emotional regulation

as well as many other challenges.

My Approach-

My approach to therapy is a person centred approach that is a adapted to suit individuals on the autistic / ADHD spectrum. This is done by using the positive openness of a person centred approach that allows the freedom of all feelings to be explored and heard while providing a structure that allows the individual to feel secure and where they can work towards positive change.

About me-

I was diagnosed with Asperger's which is a form of autism when I was 8 years old.

I have struggled myself with living in a world built for neurotypicals through childhood and into adult life. I am blessed to now have a passion and opportunity to help and support the neurodiverse community who have struggled with many of the same aspects of life.

Special interests of mine between now and then have ranged from dinosaurs to lord of the rings and I'm happy to hear all about yours too :)
