Therapy that adapts to how you’re wired

Creating a neuro-affirming therapy space for you

I am particularly passionate about supporting neurodivergent clients.

Neurodivergent people are far more likely to experience anxiety due to having to experience a world that has not been designed for you and your beautiful brain. Navigating both anxiety and neurodivergence can lead to:

  • Never ending self-doubt and comparison to others

  • Constantly questioning your own judgement

  • Sensory overwhelm that feels impossible to come down from

  • Sensitivity to rejection that feels physically painful

  • Fear of getting it wrong that overtakes day-to-day decision making and leads to avoidance

  • Catching yourself in intense negative thought cycles

  • Exhaustion from having to hide behind a mask of ‘normal’

  • Over reliance on external reassurance

So, whether you are diagnosed, self-identified, or just wondering. You are welcome here.

What does neuro-affirming therapy with me look like?

Sessions are tailored to work with your strengths and techniques adapted to your neurodivergent brain. I use a range of therapeutic approaches and tools to ease your anxiety and build your confidence and self-esteem while we’re doing it; learning to finally embrace your unique and individual self. Having trained in traditional talking therapy, alongside CBT and third-wave CBT (including ACT) AND coaching, I am uniquely placed to support you.

Through therapy and coaching, you can move from where you are now, to this:

  • A deeper understanding of yourself and your anxiety

  • Saying yes to what you want to do without feeling dread and sensory overwhelm

  • More compassion for yourself; noticing what’s happening before it leads to meltdown and burnout

  • Self-belief and confidence that you are enough

  • More energy to do what you love

Nothing about you needs fixing, but your experience needs understanding

Striving to meet your specific preferences and ways of working wherever I can

As a neuro-affirming therapist and coach, I will strive to meet your specific preferences and ways of working wherever I can. Including:

  • Direct questions and clear literal language

  • No expectations about contact

  • Movement is welcome – bring your sensory tools and fidget as much as you need

  • The choice of online sessions from your own space, or over the phone if this is your preference
