I'm a neurodivergent counsellor working with adults and young people aged 16+. I offer integrative counselling and rewind trauma therapy online and in Launceston, Cornwall. Weekly, fortnightly and one-off sessions are available.

I am LGBTQIA+, home education and neurodivergence-affirming. People in all of these groups can find themselves misunderstood by counsellors and other professionals who don't understand their identity. I aim to provide a safe space and to affirm your lived experience.

Some of my clients are exploring their identity and processing their past after realising their neurodivergent or LGBTQIA+ identity, while others are seeking help with other life issues and want a counsellor who is likely to understand and validate their experiences.

I do not view autism, ADHD or other neurodivergences as disorders or conditions. There is nothing wrong with being neurodivergent. Research shows that building a positive neurodivergent identity is crucial for improving self-esteem.

As an integrative counsellor I draw on different techniques depending on your needs, preferences and aims. What works for one person does not necessarily work for another, even if they share a neurotype.

In addition to counselling I also provide Rewind Trauma Therapy for PTSD which quickly stops flashbacks, nightmares and intrusive thoughts without having to talk about them.

I aim to offer a safe space where you can be yourself. Stimming and unmasking as you feel comfortable are very welcome here.

I offer a free 30-minute online call so you can see if I’m the right person to work with you.
