I'm Chris, an Integrative neurodivergent counsellor who works with individuals, couples, and young people who want real, grounded support not silence or clinical detachment. My space is somewhere you can potentially drop the mask and be fully yourself, whether you're overwhelmed, angry, unsure, or exhausted. I’m engaged, collaborative, and gentle but honest. Together, we explore what’s going on for you at your pace, unpicking patterns, relationships, trauma, and sensory overwhelm to help you move toward clarity, compassion, and lasting change.
I provide neurodivergent-affirming counselling, Relational Life Therapy for couples, and a safe, confidential space for young people. My approach is warm and actively involved, helping you make sense of your feelings, relationships, and experiences so you can move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
If life feels heavy or confusing right now, you’re not expected to navigate it on your own. Reaching out can feel daunting, but it’s a powerful act of self-care. If you’re looking for a therapist who truly shows up and walks beside you, I’m here when you’re ready. Drop me a message and we’ll start from where you are.
