My ideal client is someone navigating the complex terrain of neurodiversity or mental health challenges. They may be an adolescent or adult grappling with autism, ADHD, anxiety, depression, burnout, identity issues, stress management, parenting support, or life transitions. Their goal is to live more authentically, to understand and embrace their unique differences, and to advocate for themselves in a world that often demands conformity. They seek not just to cope, but to thrive, using their strengths to create a life that is fulfilling and aligned with their values.

I’m Dom Caesar, a queer, non-binary autistic social worker and counsellor, offering affordable, neuroaffirming support to adults and young people navigating life’s complexities. I blend professional expertise with genuine understanding. My approach is rooted in radical, relational practice: I don’t pathologise, I don’t “fix,” and I’m not here to force you into boxes. Instead, we’ll work with your strengths to reimagine what support can look like - whether that’s challenging systems that exclude you, embracing your neurodivergent identity, or finding practical ways to exist authentically in a world that misunderstands difference.

Choosing a psychologist is a big decision, and I suspect you've thought about this for a while. You know that therapy is an investment in yourself, and you don't make investments without doing your research. You are looking for someone you feel safe and comfortable sharing your most difficult thoughts and feelings with. You want someone to listen carefully, to respect you and your experience and to be invested in your goals providing support that is specifically tailored to who you are (otherwise you'd just be buying a self-help book). That's what you deserve!
