Therapy that meets you where you are
I provide neuroaffirming counselling that completely steps away from deficit models. My practice is designed to be a calm, steady space where late-diagnosed or exploring Autistic and ADHD adults can unpack burnout, masking, chronic stress, and systemic shame without the pressure to perform or meet expectations that simply don't fit how they operate.
Rather than focusing on fixing or changing who you are, we work together at your pace to unlock your natural strengths, build genuine self-compassion, and navigate life transitions. Whether we are reshaping boundaries to protect your energy, building authentic communication structures, or using practical psychoeducation to understand how your mind works day-to-day, therapy is entirely collaborative and tailored to your real life.
You’re welcome to reach out even if you’re new to therapy or still figuring out exactly what you need.

I’m passionate about supporting neurodivergent adults to build lives they don’t need to recover from. As a late‑diagnosed neurodivergent woman with eight years of experience working in the community, I understand the complexities of navigating systems, seeking support, and facing everyday barriers. That lived experience shapes everything I do.
You can expect a warm, empathetic, and non‑judgmental space where trust, respect, and understanding guide our work. Whether you’re exploring identity, working through challenges, or wanting to feel more connected to yourself, we move at your pace, in your way.

What to expect (and how I work)
Therapy should fit your life, not add another demand to it. Here is how I keep my practice transparent, accessible, and low-pressure:
Upfront, clear communication: I prioritise direct and transparent communication so you never have to guess what I’m thinking or read between the lines. There is zero pressure to have it all figured out or know exactly what to say, you are welcome to turn up precisely as you are.
A low-demand environment: I don’t use clinical jargon or push rigid homework assignments that just add to your to-do list. Your capacity is always respected, and we move entirely at a pace that suits you.
An unmasking-safe space: You do not need to perform or mask in our sessions. If you need to fidget, look away, move around, or take a moment to process things in silence, that is entirely welcomed and normal.
Practical day-to-day tools: We focus on offering clear insights into how your mind works alongside realistic, manageable strategies for emotional regulation and wellbeing that actually fit into your real life.
