About me
Accepting new clients.
I work with neurodiverse young adults and adults. Maybe you’ve always felt a bit out of step with the world – like everyone else got a manual you didn’t receive. You might be wondering whether ADHD or autism could be part of your story, or you may simply know that life feels harder than it seems to be for others. Late-night researching can bring moments of relief alongside uncertainty and overwhelm.
I work with young adults and adults in Sheffield who identify as neurodivergent, or who are exploring ADHD or autism, and are feeling anxious, self-critical, or emotionally exhausted.
Many of the clients I work with are trying to navigate work, friendships, relationships, or simply get through the week. You may feel tired of masking, or unsure who you are underneath it. This isn’t about labels or diagnoses unless you want it to be. It’s about exploring what life feels like for you, without pressure or expectation.
How can counselling help?
Counselling can help you make sense of patterns, emotions, and reactions that feel confusing or exhausting. It offers space to understand yourself better and find ways of coping that fit how your mind works, rather than trying to force yourself to fit expectations. I bring lived experience to this work, having been diagnosed with dyspraxia later in life. You don’t have to mask here. You don’t have to explain yourself. You can just be you.
What to expect in the first session.
The first session includes an initial assessment and is taken at your pace. It gives us space to explore what’s going on for you and what you’re hoping for from therapy and allows me to consider the most appropriate way of working together. There’s no pressure to make decisions or talk about anything before you’re ready. You can also book a free 20-minute call or ask questions by email if that feels easier.
