If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or held back by low self-esteem, feeling misunderstood, you are not alone. I work with adults (18+) who want to understand themselves more deeply, heal, and grow into a more, grounded version of themselves. Clients often come to see me with a sense of feeling overwhelmed, worried, they might struggle with focus, overthinking, sleeping patterns, relationships and want to explore this in relation to their Autism and/or ADHD.  Some clients come not knowing the reasons for their struggles and through the sessions we can explore what might be going on underneath the surface.  
 My approach blends practical tools for managing anxiety, overwhelm, and the challenges of life with space to explore the deeper roots beneath your struggles/trauma. I offer a core of Person-Centered therapy but have an holistic approach and can blend in a range of techniques and theoretical approaches adapted to you and what you bring.
I offer a warm, understanding, non-judgemental space to explore the world as you see and experience it. You can see me in person in Harrogate or online from the comfort of your own space-wherever feels safest for you. If you’re ready to take that first step, or even just curious, I’d love to hear from you.
