I offer counselling to both neurodivergent clients and to those whose loved one is neurodivergent. As a neurodivergent counsellor I understand the importance of taking the time to explore with each client what therapeutic support looks like for them. My MSc research focussed on working with neurodiversity in the counselling room, and I am passionate about making counselling as accessible and relevant as possible to anyone whose life is impacted by neurodivergence.

For neurodivergent clients
I recognise that each person's experience of being neurodivergent is unique and seek to adapt my therapeutic space and practice to be responsive to each person's needs. If you have received a diagnosis later in life, I am aware that there is little follow up support available within the health services, so we can take the time in counselling to explore how you feel about the diagnosis and what it means for you going forward. Or perhaps others have told you that they think you might be neurodivergent and you would like a space to explore your own feelings about that. I aim to make the counselling space as welcoming as possible for all clients, so I am mindful of sensory needs, language preferences and any other adaptations that would put you at ease. 

For families of neurodivergent loved ones
If you have been in a supportive or caring role you may wish to find a space where you are supported and heard by someone who can understand the challenges of neurodiversity within relationships. Differences in thinking and processing can cause tension and stress and I want to provide a non judgemental space to be heard and supported. Parent carers of neurodivergent children often find very little time for self-care and can find other parents don't understand the uniquely different experience of needing to fight for the needs of your child. I want to offer a warm and compassionate space for you to explore your own feelings.
