Supporting Autistic, ADHD and Neurodivergent Individuals to Better Understand Themselves
Supporting Autistic, ADHD and Neurodivergent Individuals to Better Understand Themselves
Many neurodivergent people spend years feeling different, misunderstood, or under pressure to fit into environments that do not fully reflect their needs.
You may be exploring an autism or ADHD diagnosis, processing a recent identification, experiencing burnout, or trying to make sense of your experiences and relationships.
Counselling provides a space where those experiences can be explored openly and respectfully.

A Neurodiversity-Affirming Approach
A Neurodiversity-Affirming Approach
I view neurodiversity as a natural part of human variation.
My approach is not about helping people become less autistic or less ADHD.
It is about helping people better understand themselves, recognise their strengths, identify their needs, and build lives that feel sustainable and authentic.
