About me
Are you on a journey with neurodiversity? Beginning to think it explains your life experiences and aligns with how you think and act? (undiagnosed, exploring, self diagnosed, diagnosed all welcome!)
I predominantly work with autistic and/or ADHD clients exploring what comes with that, and how this affects living in a world not built to your neurotype.
I have a keen interest and additional training in working with OCD (diagnosed or undiagnosed) These are a few of my specialist areas that I work with and have adapted my therapy to be neuro affirmative.
I’m an integrative therapist which means I don’t think there is a one size fits all approach. Instead, I look at you as an individual; your environment, who and what’s around you, and tailor an approach which would be beneficial to you. I tend to use a mixture of the approaches below throughout our sessions.
A few ways in which I work are…Person centered, which is an important part of how I work, understanding your emotions and responses to them.
Solution focused therapy, where we can break situations down into manageable chunks to work towards, this can help in breaking routines.
CBT, setting tasks and worksheets that may help you to identify patterns and challenges in your life (adapted to be ND friendly).
I offer psychoeducation, the science and brain bits behind what's happening. These are different approaches to therapy that might work for you!
I aim to hold your best interests, and care for your wellbeing at the core of my practice. I aim to provide a calm, sensory friendly space where I can hold your emotions and story competently and be that space for you.
