Are you autistic, ADHD, AuDHD or have a Learning (Intellectual) Disability — and finding things particularly hard right now? You might feel anxious, low, or overwhelmed, or be facing a change that feels unsettling. You don't have to make sense of it on your own. My approach is neuroaffirmative: I recognise and value different ways of thinking, feeling and communicating. Together we can find practical ways for being well and to build a fulfilling life on your own terms.
I'm a Clinical Psychologist with over 26 years' experience, much of it within the NHS, specialising in autism, ADHD, AuDHD and Learning Disabilities — and I have neurodivergent lived experience of my own. I offer compassionate, evidence-based therapy and Diagnostic Assessments to help you understand your experiences and feel more grounded and confident.
Reaching out can feel hardest exactly when you need it most. If things have been difficult for a while, it's understandable to feel unsure or low in hope — you're welcome to get in touch to talk through how I might be able to help. Email me for a free 30-minute consultation to see if it us a good fit.
