Do you look as though you're coping on the outside, while feeling exhausted and overwhelmed on the inside? Do you tend to keep going, overthink everything, put everyone else first and try harder than most people realise? From the outside, you seem capable, yet you're wondering why life feels so much harder for you than it seems to for everyone else. Perhaps food has become a way of coping with feelings that are difficult to name or understand. Perhaps you're beginning to wonder whether ADHD and/or autism might explain experiences you've struggled to make sense of for years.
I believe the ways we cope often make sense when we understand the experiences that shaped us. Many of us learn to adapt in order to belong, succeed or meet the expectations of others, but over time this can come at a cost. Therapy can help you understand these patterns, reconnect with yourself and discover what feels authentic to you.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you're used to coping on your own. I offer a brief introductory call so you can meet me, ask questions and get a sense of whether I might be the right therapist for you. If my approach feels like a good fit, please get in touch and we can take it from there.

I'm a neurodiversity-affirming counsellor in Oxford (and online), supporting neurodivergent young adults through key transitions such as leaving education, starting work, building independence. I also work with adults wondering if they might be neurodivergent who may also be struggling with burnout, anxiety and/or eating distress.

My approach is neurodiversity-affirming, curious and paced to suit you. In therapy, we look at how past experiences shape present patterns, drawing on psychodynamic thinking. In coaching, the focus shifts forward, exploring how present choices shape the future you're working towards. Throughout, I meet you where you are, working in small, manageable steps.
