About me
Autism and ADHD focussed counselling can help you build your strength and resilience, without the need to mask or pretend you don't struggle when you do.
Based on decades of lived-experience, as well as formal training, I can work with you to rebuild your self-esteem and and improve your confidence with socialising and dealing with people. By helping you understand your neurodivergence, I can help you figure out who you are and find better ways to cope with anxiety, social issues, meltdowns and burnout.
As an autistic, ADHD person myself, I've been there too. I know what it's like to be different and feel like I don't fit in. I know the value of talking things through with someone who really understands.
I help people come to terms with their diagnosis, work through pros and cons of getting a diagnosis and then keep it together while on the waiting list. But I can also support you if you're 'just different' and aren't interested in a formal diagnosis anyway.
Many neurodivergent people are part of the LGBTQiA+ community, including myself, so I am very happy to work with people expressing gender, sexuality and relationship differences, including trans and non-binary clients.
I have experience of working with a lot of clients with chronic health conditions including ME/CFS, hypermobility/EDS, autoimmune conditions and cancer.
Please note, I am only able to work with people over 16.

Training, qualifications & experience
I'm a qualified counsellor and supervisor, but more than that, I have been a part of the autism & ADHD world for 30 years, after discovering I was autistic, and later, ADHD.
Since qualifying, I have been learning and adapting, finding new ways to work with neurodivergent clients. We think differently and we need a different way of working.
Chronic illness is often part of the neurodivergent experience, part of my lived experience and a big part of my work.
I have lived-experience of trans and non-binary loved-ones and have done additional training in counselling trans and gender non-conforming people.
