MNCPS(Acc) The Gay AuDHD and Dyslexic Counsellor

About me

Hi, I'm Kroy, an openly Gay AuDHD and Dyslexic Counsellor. I offer a neuro-affirming, inclusive space that champions all those who are neurodivergent or exploring. I support the daily challenges faced by individuals like me, which include but are not limited to

Do Bright lights or noises  seem overwhelming, stressful, or uncomfortable

Do you get Anxious or upset with unfamiliar situations

Do you find yourself thinking the same thing over and over

Do Hobbies seem like an obsession

Feeling like you are not enough and rejected (RSD)

You don't look Autistic

The first time having therapy can be a little apprehensive, but the relaxed atmosphere and tailored sessions, plus all the fidget toys, will help put you at ease. If you find it difficult to talk, there are always video games we can play or pop on some music.

Everybody faces mental well-being challenges in their lives. My commitment to you is:

  • to treat you with compassion
  • to accept you unconditionally
  • to be authentic in my relationship with you
  • to work to empower you in working towards your goals

My practice is inclusive and welcomes LGBTQIA+ clients and accepts that there are more than two genders.

I offer a free 15-minute telephone consultation so you can determine if our fit is right.

Wheelchair user access

If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
