I am a queer, autistic counsellor with a background in Buddhist psychology. I specialise in working with late-realised autistic and ADHD adults, and those questioning their neurotype. We often work together to navigate issues such as identity, unmasking, burnout, and moving towards thriving and joy.
I understand from lived experience how life changing a late-realisation of neurodivergence can be. It can bring up a range of big feelings, from relief to grief and confusion.
About me and my practice
In counselling sessions with me, you will be completely welcomed and supported to explore whatever feels important to you. I will offer you the time and space to slow down, bring mindful attention to your experience and discover new perspectives. I will listen to you with compassion, respect and hold what you share in confidence. Together we can give your difficult feelings, thoughts and emotions the space that they need to be heard, felt and understood. I will support you to deepen your connection to the things you find meaningful in life, and accompany you in finding new ways forward so you can make choices that feel positive for you.
I work in an integrative way, so counselling sessions will be different with each client, and the process will always be a collaboration with you. As well as listening to you with acceptance, I may offer mindfulness, grounding and visualisation exercises, body awareness, object work, tarot, creative or imaginative exercises, to help you to explore new perspectives, if you would like to.
I am a qualified counsellor with training in Buddhist psychology. My practice is trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming.
