ADHD & Autism Specialist Counsellor

I am a neuroaffirmative counsellor, and have considerable experience of working with adults, students & young people who have an assessment or self-diagnosis of ADHD and Autism.

I will offer you a warm, accepting, and non-judgemental space to talk about your feelings and the issues you would like to bring to counselling.

Starting counselling can be daunting so I offer a free 15 min telephone or video call to see if you feel we could work together. You can let me know of any accommodations that you would like, such as shorter sessions, no eye contact, any sensory issues etc. I will not ask you to decide straight away, you can see how you feel after talking to me, and get back to me if you would like counselling.
