Neuro-affirmiNG TherapY
Therapy that adapts to you...not the other way around

My Experience

Alongside professional experience supporting neurodivergent clients, I also bring lived experience as a late-diagnosed ADHDer and part of a neurodivergent household. I continue to learn through ongoing training, keeping up-to-date with the latest research and listening to neurodivergent voices

 

My Beliefs and Approach

  • I​ believe neurodivergence is a difference, not a deficit, or something that needs to be fixed. Many struggles neurodivergent people experience come from living in systems that prioritise productivity and conformity over compassion and support.

  • Busy environments, constant demands, pressure to perform in a certain way, social media, and too much stimulation can make everyday life feel even more overwhelming and exhausting for neurodivergent folk.

  • Navigating life stressors, the workplace, social systems and traumatic experiences can add extra layers of difficulty. Neurodivergent people are more likely to experience fatigue and long-term physical health problems, which can incredibly tough to navigate and manage.

  • My mission is to create a space where you feel less pressure to mask, perform or explain yourself, and where you can show up more fully as you are!

What I offer

Therapy can be adapted to support you in ways such as:

  • Flexible and collaborative sessions

  • Therapy tailored to your communication style and needs

  • Space to unmask without judgement

  • Consideration of sensory needs and finding the right pace

  • Support with burnout, anxiety, rejection and self-doubt 

  • Exploring identity, self-understanding and self-acceptance

  • Identifying and working with your strengths

  • A compassionate, non-pathologising, approach

  • Support with late diagnosis or self-identification journeys
