I offer counselling for autistic and/or ADHD or neuro-curious people, and also parents/partners of neurodivergent family members. Counselling tailored to neurodiversity involves offering a space where various aspects of support are given e.g.

• Reframing the past in the context of neurodiversity
• Support in working out how to reshape your life so that you can thrive and feel more fulfilled​
• Exploring the possibility of neurodiversity; looking at individual traits and investigating symptoms over the lifespan. This can also include diagnosis-pathway support and help filling in the assessment form if required.
• Bringing a consistent neuro-affirmative lens to your life which helps with healing
• Slowing down and discovering new ways to 'do living' using strategies that fit uniquely for you
• Addressing emotional trigger points e.g. anger outbursts, boundaries, people pleasing
• Support in developing neuroception. Identifying, naming and acknowledging emotions. Understanding and untangling relationship challenges
• Support in parenting a neurodivergent child. Exploring the possibility of PDA
• EMDR trauma treatment & other trauma treatments offered and adapted for the neurodivergent brain
• Sensory acknowledgement and support in exploring how life is impacted by sensory needs. Sending relevant videos and resources post-session where relevant to support with psycho-education
