Autism Counselling in Sheffield
You've tried everything to "fix" your OCD. You've read self-help books, googled all sorts, promised to try harder tomorrow. But here's what you've discovered: the more you fight it, the worse it gets. The checking spirals. The avoidance spreads. The intrusive thoughts get louder and louder. You're exhausted from battling your own mind, and you're wondering if maybe you're just broken. Here's the truth: you're not broken. Your brain is doing exactly what brains do, it's trying to keep you safe, just in a not so useful way. The pathways back to the life you want are still there; you just need someone who can help you see them again.

Whether you grew up knowing you were autistic/ADHD or realised later in adulthood, it can have an influence on your ability to connect, express emotions & to let go of neurotypical (NT) standards & thrive as a neurodivergent (ND) adult.
I meet clients where they are & empower them to go where they want to be. I work with clients to help them explore their feelings & become emotionally stronger. Explore their identity & what it means to be ND for them. Supporting them to cope with their challenges & to embrace themselves. Supporting others to explore, strengthen & improve relationships.

Hi, I am a Consultant Clinical Psychologist, CAT Therapist and EMDR Practitioner. I specialise in working with both adults and children/young people and offer an approach focusing upon what’s most helpful to my clients. Life can bring up a number of adverse life events which can be overwhelming and we require support to process emotions/experiences or understand what’s going on. We also sometimes need guidance to help make the changes we desire because we can get stuck in negative patterns. I work collaboratively with clients to assess their needs and tailor therapy to meet these needs. I can help with a wide range of difficulties.

I have also gained experience working in specialist services for autistic individuals and those with ADHD.
When you need support, accessing the right help is important.

I have specific training in Family Systems, Couples, Teens, Trauma, Abuse, Narcissism, Autism, ADHD & Self Harm/Risk.
Deep down, you know- it's not love, it’s control. You deserve freedom. You deserve safety. It’s time to name it, feel it, and move the fuck on. If you’re done second-guessing yourself, people-pleasing, and tolerating other people’s bullshit, here’s the truth: you’re not the problem... trauma is. I work online with teens, adults, and couples who are done doubting themselves after toxic, abusive, or narcissistic relationships... whether with a partner, ex, or family member.
I also work with couples where past trauma fuels repeated conflict & miscommunication. It’s time to find your voice and start living on your own damn terms.

Hi, I am a mature counsellor working online, by phone and in person. Many life transitions are the catalyst for seeking help. Talking to me in a unjudged safe space can help you provide the answers, unpicking a lifetimes hurt and shame. Working through the jumble of memories, people who have caused you harm and spoken critical words takes its toll and won’t go away by just ignoring it.
Our own self criticism can eat away at the successes. I can help you make sense of it and move forward with your life’s goals that you deserve finally.

I often collaborate with people who define as highly sensitive, neurodivergent or alternative in some way.
We can combine a range of trauma informed approaches when collaborating. I draw from evidence based approaches for living authentically, including somatic, DBT, I-CBT, CFT and ACT. I have a particular interest in nervous system regulation and OCD. However, the main thing I offer is a thoughtful, reflective, kind and relational approach to therapy.
