About me
People often come to therapy when they have reached the point where carrying on no longer works in the way it once did.
You may still be getting through the day. You may be working, parenting, caring for other people, answering messages and doing the things that need to be done. People around you may have no idea how much effort this takes. But perhaps you are exhausted in a way that sleep does not touch, more tearful or irritable than you recognise, or increasingly unable to keep up the version of yourself that everyone expects.
For some people, this begins with a growing realisation about neurodivergence. You may be autistic, ADHD or AuDHD, diagnosed recently or not at all. You may be looking back over your life and seeing the masking, the over-preparing, the people-pleasing, the shutdowns, the feeling of being “too much” whilst also somehow "not enough". You may be trying to understand why things that appear ordinary to other people have cost you so much.
For others, it is a change that has shaken the ground beneath them. A bereavement, perimenopause or a relationship ending or changing. Children growing up and needing you differently. Illness, redundancy, a move, retirement, caring for a parent, or a life you chose that does not feel as you imagined it would. Sometimes there is no single event; just the gradual sense that you have lost contact with yourself.
These experiences can bring grief in many forms: grief for a person, for the future you expected, for time spent trying to fit in, or for the version of you who could once keep going. They can also bring difficult questions: "Who am I now?" , "What do I need? ", "What happens if I cannot keep doing things in the same way?"
I work with adults who are living with these questions. My particular focus is in supporting autistic, ADHD and AuDHD people, alongside those navigating burnout, grief, perimenopause and other significant life changes. You do not need to arrive with a diagnosis, a neat explanation or a plan.
Therapy can be a place to put down some of the effort of holding everything together.
We can pay attention to what has happened, what it has asked of you, and what has been difficult to say elsewhere. Rather than treating your responses as problems to be corrected, we can understand them in the context of your life.
I offer a free 20-minute introductory call. It is a chance to talk about what has brought you here and to get a sense of whether working together might feel right.
