Counselling That Understands You

Who Is Counselling For?

Counselling may be helpful if you spend a lot of time trying to understand yourself, manage anxiety or cope with feelings that have become difficult to carry on your own.

Perhaps you feel different from those around you, replay conversations in your head, struggle to explain what you need or find that keeping everything together takes more energy than people realise.

You might have an ADHD or autism diagnosis, be waiting for an assessment, or simply be wondering whether neurodivergence could help explain some of your experiences.

You don’t need a diagnosis, the right words or a clear idea of what’s wrong to seek support. We can start with what’s happening in your life now and work from there, at your pace.

What We Can Explore Together

Counselling gives you space to explore what’s been difficult, make sense of your experiences and understand yourself better. We can look at anxiety, overwhelm, masking, self-esteem, relationships and the impact of neurodivergence on everyday life.

There’s no expectation to have everything figured out before you start. We work at your pace, focusing on what matters most to you.

A space without judgement

You don’t have to mask, minimise your struggles or pretend you’re coping. You can show up as you are and talk openly about what’s happening for you.

Understanding your neurodivergence

Explore how ADHD, autism or other aspects of your experiences may affect your emotions, relationships, confidence and everyday life. You don’t need a formal diagnosis.

Working at your pace

There’s no pressure to have all the answers. We’ll work together to explore what’s difficult, recognise what you need and find a way forward that feels right for you.

What to Expect from Counselling

Starting counselling can feel like a big step, particularly if you’re used to managing everything on your own.

Our sessions offer a confidential, supportive space where you can talk openly, explore what’s happening for you and begin to make sense of your experiences. There’s no pressure to share everything straight away or to know exactly what you want to talk about.

My integrative approach means we can work in a way that suits your individual needs, experiences and preferences. We’ll take things at your pace, together.

Ready To Take The Next Step

Reaching out for counselling can feel daunting, especially if you’re used to managing things on your own.
