Neurodivergent-affirming COUNSELLING AND PSYCHOtherapy for autistic and ADHD adults

I provide counselling and psychotherapy to support those who identify as autistic/have autism and/or ADHD, Whether you're clinically diagnosed, self-identify or are exploring whether you may be neurodivergent. I work collaboratively to help you better understand yourself, your relationships and your needs. Our work can be guided by a neurodivergent-affirming lens. Together, we can explore burnout, communication and the impact of living in a predominantly neurotypical world. This can include understanding your unique sensory profile through sensory mapping, identifying and meeting your physical, mental and emotional needs, recognising the impact of masking and supporting safe unmasking where helpful. We can also develop practical strategies and evidence-informed tools that help you live in ways that feel authentic and sustainable. Working with executive functioning, montropism and PDA (demand avoidance/drive for autonomy.)

​

Where helpful, I draw on energy-pacing concepts such as Spoon Theory and use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) (a type of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) in a neurodivergent-informed way to support psychological flexibility, values-led living and self-acceptance.
