Further information
This is what you can expect when you work with me. I am an Integrative Psychotherapist, Coach and Mentor. I work with different models of therapy to ensure you, the client, gets the most tailor made support as the unique person you are.
I do not sit passively. I do actively listen as a pattern matching detective. I want to know why you feel the way you do and which best tools I have to help you feel better.
I have many resources and have researched extensively around neurodiversity and will share what I have found with you. You can expect to see elements of existential therapy, humanistic, CBT, Internal Family Systems, Transactional Analysis, Nervous system regulation and grounding techniques as well as breath work and Guided Imagery/Hypnosos when appropriate. Also gut/brain relationship and joint mobility and menopause support.
You are the expert of yourself. I will help by shining a light on what we find, your strengths and limitations.
Practical support. Therapy with a fellow neurodivergent.
