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. I understand that being neurodivergent in a society that doesn’t always understand or accommodate different ways of thinking, communicating and experiencing things can be exhausting.

 

Busy environments, sensory overload, social expectations and the pressure to fit in or perform in certain ways can make everyday life feel overwhelming. Work, relationships, life stressors and past experiences can add further layers to navigate.

 

My mission is to create a space where you feel less pressure to mask, perform or explain yourself, and where you can feel as comfortable as possible to be yourself.

​

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
