My specialist area is working with neurodivergence (either self diagnosed or officially), in an affirmative way, so you can feel free to be yourself. Do you feel like you’ve spent most of your life masking — trying to appear “fine” while inside you’re overwhelmed, exhausted, or constantly overthinking? You might relate to: Racing thoughts or executive dysfunction Sensory overwhelm or shutdown Cycles of burnout Struggling to communicate your needs Rejection sensitivity or intense self-criticism Masking so well that other people don’t see how much you’re struggling Grief, anger or confusion around a late ADHD or autism diagnosis
In our work together, you don’t have to perform, mask, or explain yourself from scratch. Therapy can be a space where you’re supported to: • Understand your nervous system and overwhelm • Work with executive functioning challenges compassionately • Explore identity, diagnosis and late-realisation grief • Reduce shame and build self-trust • Unmask safely
Above all, I aim to offer a space where you can simply be yourself — without judgement, without pressure to be “less” or “more” of who you are. If you’re looking for therapy that understands neurodivergence from both professional training and lived experience, you’re welcome to get in touch.
