If you’re feeling isolated, anxious, angry, sad or overwhelmed then counselling can give you a place to unmask, unburden and gain some new perspectives.
I work collaboratively so we’ll talk about what helps you and what doesn’t, and what you need from therapy.
I primarily use a person-centred approach, offering a warm, non-judgemental, authentic relationship in which you can explore what you’re struggling with. I find that neurodivergent people in particular tend to appreciate the more egalitarian nature of this approach, as do many others who have experienced the impact of social inequalities in their lives.
