I assume you have something you would like to talk privately to somebody about. I wonder what it is like to be you. Do you often feel alien, struggling to understand and be understood by others? Is finding friends and keeping them hard? Would you rather avoid groups whilst wanting to belong? Does change hit you hard? Do you feel distant from others and even yourself? And maybe answering seemingly simple questions, such as “how are you?” or “what do you need?” feels difficult. I have some idea of what that is like. I offer you acceptance within a non-judgemental, empathic therapeutic relationship.
I work with adults that are struggling to work through life events, and specialise in working with people that suspect or discover their neurodiversity later in life. I will provide a confidential, safe and stretching space where we can explore your life, gain insights, develop coping strategies and support your development.
Life is a journey of experiences around which we build a life-story. That story is often negative and critical. Join me if you want to change that. We will focus on the here-and-now and at times consider your history and cultural contexts. You have already shown courage to get this far. Connect with me to take the next step.

I understand having therapy is a major financial commitment. I do have some limited places at a concessionary rate however these are currently full.

Transitional events encourage us to look at our lives and see where we want to go next. Whether it is becoming a parent, or the kids leaving home; being diagnosed with a life altering illness; a family member receiving an autism diagnosis; going through the menopause or perhaps retiring. We can be destabilised and stuck. What do you want to achieve? What do you need?

I use Transactional Analysis to focus on how we relate to each other, to understand the patterns and rules you live by. Understanding will lead to change but sometimes there are no words. I will be creative to help you find the words e.g. using imagery, associated memories, your dreams, the arts or your body sense. The relationship provides the foundation to forming new patterns of behaviour.
