I provide a friendly and professional counselling service where I help you to normalise, understand and manage your experiences. I am experienced in working with a range of presenting issues, including anxiety, depression, stress, trauma and relationship difficulties. One area that I specialise in is autism and other neurodivergent profiles which includes, (although not limited to): Autism, ADHD, Asperger’s Syndrome, Tourette’s Syndrome, Dyslexia and Dyspraxia. I provide a counselling service for autistic, ADHD and neurodivergent individuals (whether they have received a diagnosis or not). I also work with the parents, carers, friends and wider family of autistic and neurodivergent individuals.
My sessions are neuro-affirmative and LGBTQ+ friendly. Being autistic and neurodivergent myself means that I can relate to, and have experienced first-hand, some of the opportunities and challenges resulting from being autistic and neurodivergent.
As a gestalt relational counsellor I work with you in the here and now by focusing upon the what and the how of your experience. I do not neglect your past or your future, but instead ask you to consider the impact that your past or future has for you within the present. I am interested in how you perceive your environment and your individual context.
Establishing a connection is important so that you feel able to work with me. I offer a free 20 minute phone consultation to help you decide if I am the 'right' counsellor for you. Through listening to you I aim to personalise your counselling sessions to meet your individual needs. Please get in touch to discuss how we might be able to work together.
