Hello. Welcome. Are you an adult recently diagnosed with ASD or ADHD? Or is ASD or ADHD on your radar but you have no diagnosis? In any case, my practice is for adults who are living with high functioning autism and/or ADHD or HSP. Sessions are entirely free from judgement - you can talk through your unique experiences living with ASD or ADHD with someone who gets you but is different to a relative or friend. Benefit from help with communication, interaction, relationships, stress, burnout, boundary-setting, uncovering blindspots and developing self support. Sessions are safe, confidential, engaging and foster quality of life.
Exploration during the sessions leads to increased understanding and the development of practical strategies which may facilitate communication, productivity and an increased sense of well being. Instead of endeavoring to “treat or fix” ASD or ADHD, the priority is on getting to know oneself better, leveraging strengths and optimizing quality of life.
A key benefit of sessions is being able to talk in depth about one’s experiences of living with ASD or ADHD as this chance might be rare in one’s life. Areas of exploration can include communication, interaction dynamics, discomfort with conflict, sensory overload, perfectionism, overthinking, emotion regulation, procrastination and the tendency to overwork.
