Hi, I’m Violet. I work with autistic, ADHD, and AuDHD individuals and couples experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, chronic shame, relationship difficulties, or navigating a recent or later in life diagnosis. My practice is underpinned by advanced training in working with neurodivergent clients, alongside a lived experience of neurodivergence. At the heart of my work is a belief in the transformative power of self-compassion. With self-compassion, it becomes possible to move beyond anxiety, overwhelm and shame and begin to live with greater clarity, confidence, self-acceptance and connection to ourselves and others.
Clients can choose either counselling or coaching, depending on what support they want. Counselling provides space to explore emotions, identity, unconscious patterns and relational challenges in depth. Coaching focuses on practical, goal-oriented strategies and tools to help you work out what you want in life and how to make it happen.
If any of my services resonate, you are warmly invited to arrange a free 50 minute session. The first step is a brief 15-minute phone conversation to discuss your availability, what brings you to therapy or coaching and my approach. If, after our conversation, you feel my approach may be helpful, we can then book a complimentary session.
