Counselling for Neurodivergent Adults
ADHD • Autism • Late Diagnosis • Anxiety • Self-esteem • Overwhelm
Do you feel different, misunderstood, overwhelmed, or like you're constantly trying to keep up?
Or perhaps you've spent years wondering why certain things seem harder for you than they appear to be for other people.
I offer warm, compassionate, neurodiversity-affirming counselling for adults, helping you make sense of your experiences, understand yourself more deeply and find ways to make life feel more manageable.
You don't have to figure it all out alone
Perhaps you've become very good at masking, coping or appearing as though everything is fine, while privately feeling exhausted, anxious or overwhelmed.
A diagnosis of ADHD or Autism later in life can bring relief and understanding, but it can also bring new questions.
Why have I always felt different?
Why have some things been so difficult?
Who am I underneath all the expectations I've carried?
You may not have a diagnosis at all. You may simply recognise yourself in the experiences of neurodivergent people and want somewhere safe to explore that.
Therapy can give you the space to slow down, understand yourself and begin to work out what you need — without judgement.
You don't have to arrive knowing exactly what you need. We can work it out together.
How therapy can help
Therapy can be an opportunity to understand yourself better and work out what you need.
Understanding yourself
Make sense of your thoughts, feelings, reactions and patterns, and develop a clearer understanding of who you are.
Relationships and boundaries
Understand relationship patterns, communicate your needs and develop healthier boundaries.
Self-acceptance
Develop greater compassion for yourself and begin to let go of some of the criticism, shame or expectations you may have carried.
Confidence and
self-esteem
Explore the beliefs you hold about yourself and develop a kinder and more accepting relationship with yourself.
Managing overwhelm
Explore what overwhelms you and develop ways of coping that work for your particular needs.
Moving forward
Identify what you want from your life and find manageable steps towards meaningful change.

How does it work...
Initial phone call
Get in touch via email or book directly through my Calendly page to arrange a free 15-minute phone call to explore together what brings you to counselling, how my approach might suit you and whether you wish to proceed with therapy with me.
First session
In our first session, we will explore your world, your expectations from therapy and any particular areas of your life you would like to focus on.
Some clients like to set goals, others don't, either is fine. We will work at your pace and establish what is comfortable for you.
Moving forward
I recommend an initial commitment of 10 sessions, after which we can review our work and decide how to move forward. You may wish to work with me on an open-ended contract, meaning you can stay in therapy for as long as you wish.
