Type of service: Counsellor

Website: http://www.hycounselling.co.uk

I am a humanistic Gestalt counsellor and I provide a counselling service
for neurodivergence (with or without a diagnosis). This includes, (and
not limited to): Autism, ADHD, Asperger’s Syndrome, Tourette’s Syndrome,
Dyslexia and Dyspraxia. I also provide a counselling service to those,
(family members, friends, carers, and the wider community) supporting
neurodivergence.

I have experience of working with neurodiversity within a counselling
capacity and as a specialist mentor. As a neurodivergent therapist I
feel that I can relate to, and have experienced first-hand, some of the
challenges resulting from neurodiversity.

Maybe you would like support with understanding what neurodivergence may
mean for you and your family? Or perhaps you are wondering if you or a
family member is neurodivergent and you might not be too sure what to
do? You might be experiencing a range of feelings resulting from a late
diagnosis or a misdiagnosis that you wish to work through. I support
individuals to work through difficulties with social communication or
with establishing, managing and sustaining relationships. I also explore
neurodiversity within an education or workplace setting, and with
understanding sensory experiences and preferences. Finally, you might be
female and looking to understand your specific neurodivergent
presentation.

Autism and neurodivergence can affect individuals in a number of ways.
Whilst autistic or neurodivergent individuals will share certain
characteristics, they will experience these differently. I modify the
counselling sessions to accommodate your individual needs and I invite
you to contact me to discuss your needs.

In addition to my experience with neurodiversity I am experienced in
working with a range of presenting issues including, anxiety,
depression, stress, trauma, grief and relationship difficulties. My
sessions are autism, neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ friendly.

I offer short term and long term, online or telephone counselling
sessions to adults of all ages within the UK. I also offer sessions face
to face at my private practice, in Fareham, Hampshire. Sessions are
available Monday-Friday 9am-5pm and some evening and weekend
appointments available.

I offer a free 20 minute phone consultation to help you decide if I am
the ‘right’ counsellor for you.
