About me
Counselling and Neurodiversity-Informed Coaching in York.
Mind racing? Overthinking? Feeling misunderstood? Struggling to make sense of your thoughts, emotions or experiences?
Sometimes life can feel like a lot. We juggle work, family, relationships and responsibilities, often putting everyone else's needs before our own. We can find ourselves running on empty, feeling overwhelmed, disconnected or simply unsure of what we need.
Perhaps you feel things intensely, struggle to switch off, find everyday tasks harder than they seem for others, or feel that you're constantly trying to keep up with the expectations around you.
You might be questioning whether your experiences are connected to ADHD, autism or neurodivergence, navigating a recent diagnosis, or simply looking for a space where you can talk without feeling judged or misunderstood.
Whatever brings you here, you don't have to have everything figured out before we begin.
A little about me
Hi, I'm Jasmin, a qualified therapeutic counsellor with additional neurodiversity-informed coaching training.
I created MyBeing Counselling because I wanted to offer a space where people, particularly those who experience the world differently, can feel understood, supported and accepted without feeling they need to change who they are.
Receiving my own ADHD and autism diagnoses later in life helped me make sense of experiences I had struggled to understand for years. Exploring my own neurodivergence through counselling gave me a different perspective on myself and helped shape the way I work today.
I recognise how important it can be to have someone who is open to understanding how your brain works, rather than making you feel that something about you needs fixing.
You don't need a formal diagnosis to work with me. Self-identification, questioning and exploring whether neurodivergence might be part of your experience are all welcome.
Counselling and coaching: Understanding the WHY and exploring the HOW.
I don't see counselling and coaching as two completely separate things. I integrate both into my work, taking a flexible, neurodiversity-informed approach tailored to your individual needs.
Sometimes we might explore the WHY:
- Emotions and emotional regulation
- Anxiety, overwhelm and burnout
- Relationships and attachment
- Self-esteem and identity
- Masking, people-pleasing and rejection sensitivity
- Understanding past experiences and patterns
At Other times, we might explore the HOW:
- Executive functioning
- Motivation and procrastination
- Organisation and routines
- Managing everyday demands
- Turning big ideas into achievable steps
Finding strategies that work with your brain, rather than against it.
Often, it's both.
There is no rigid formula or expectation that every session needs to look the same. We can make space to explore what's happening beneath the surface while also finding practical ways to navigate everyday challenges.
A space where you can just be yourself
I want our sessions to feel like a space where you don't have to mask, perform or explain every little thing. You don't need to arrive with the right words, a clear goal or even know where to start.
Taking the first step
I offer counselling and integrated counselling and coaching at The Raylor Centre, York.
I understand that choosing a counsellor can feel like a big step, particularly if you've never accessed counselling before.
That's why I offer a FREE 20-minute face to face introductory chat, giving us an opportunity to meet, have a cuppa, see the counselling space and ask any questions.
There is no pressure, no obligation and no financial commitment.
If you're wondering whether I might be the right person to work with, why not come and meet me?
Make a little space for you. 💚
This is me, This is MyBeing.
Training, qualifications & experience
I’m a qualified therapeutic counsellor with a CPCAB Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and a member of the BACP.
I have three years’ experience as a counsellor with Mind, supporting people with a range of mental health and emotional wellbeing needs.
I have also completed an accredited ADHD Coaching Certificate with Barrett Coaching and Training, with a focus on ADHD, executive functioning, emotional regulation, overwhelm, motivation and practical strategies.
I integrate my counselling and coaching skills within my therapeutic work, taking a neurodiversity-informed approach tailored to each individual.
I have a particular interest in supporting neurodivergent adults, including those exploring ADHD and/or autism, late diagnosis, self-identification, masking, burnout, identity and self-understanding.
My own experience of discovering my neurodivergence later in life also informs my work and my understanding of self-acceptance, diagnosis and understanding yourself differently.
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Further information
We work together, at your pace. There is no expectation that you will arrive knowing exactly what you want to talk about or have everything figured out.
I understand that neurodivergent clients may communicate, process and experience sessions differently. You are welcome to take pauses, move around, stim, lose your train of thought or need time to process. You don't need to mask or perform in our sessions.
My aim is to provide a space where you can feel understood, accepted and supported, while developing a better understanding of yourself and finding ways of working with your brain rather than against it.
This is me, this is MyBeing
Growth without changing who you truly are. 💚
