About me and my therapy practice
I am a person-centred therapist and specialise in working online with ADHD, autistic and AuDHD adults.
I know first-hand many of the common difficulties neurodivergent people face, including struggles with admin, self-acceptance, workplace relationships, sensory issues and being misunderstood.
I also know how often being neurodivergent overlaps with childhood traumas, including bullying at school, unhappy family lives (often involving neurodivergent parents) and being shamed or forced to mask our real selves.
Many neurodivergent people grow up struggling to be in touch with our emotions at all, or else overwhelmed by strong feelings of anger, anxiety, fear or shame.
I cannot promise any quick or easy answers to your problems, but I have a track record of working long-term with people as they build insight and self-compassion about their differences, and make changes in life that allow them to move from surviving to thriving.
Practice description
I have four years of training and six years of experience as a therapist, and hold qualifications in Psychotherapeutic Counselling and Intimate Partner Therapy.
My first degree was in Politics, Philosophy and Economics at Oxford University and before becoming a therapist I worked for 15 years as a journalist and editor at a national newspaper.
