If you are neurodivergent and struggling with counselling or supervision because it isn't designed for you, you're in the right place.
Here you will feel seen and supported, because I get you and your brain.
Being neurodivergent-affirming means you won’t be asked to mask, make eye contact or process things the “right” way, because we’ll work in ways that suit your brain. You’ll be supported by someone who gets it personally, professionally and academically, and who sees your neurodivergence as a strength, not something to manage.
I’m a Senior Accredited member of the NCPS with over 13 years in practice as a psychotherapist, with a background in mental health and the criminal justice system before that. Since completing my core training as an Integral Therapist, I have also trained as an EMDR therapist and I hold a Specialist Diploma in Neurodiversity Informed Psychotherapy. I am neurodivergent myself, so I get you and your brain. I have dedicated my career to helping people because I believe that when people know themselves more fully, they feel better. I know that therapy can be transformative not just for clients, but for their loved ones and the therapist too.
I've also been a qualified supervisor for over 9 years and have Private Practice Mentoring for the last 4 years. I have a particular interest in support neurodivergent therapists to run their own successful practice. I believe that when your deeply know your practice, you can love your work.
How to get started
- Get in touch using the contact form, email, WhatsApp, text or a call (or leave a message)
- I’ll offer you some times for a free 15–20 minute video call
- Choose a time that works for you, and I’ll send you a link to join
After that, you can decide whether you’d like to work with me, with no pressure either way.
