Many of the adults I work with are ADHD or Autistic — often diagnosed later in life, or beginning to explore the possibility.

You may have spent years feeling:

  • Different, but not understanding why

  • Easily overwhelmed or emotionally reactive

  • Exhausted from masking or trying to keep up

  • Misunderstood — including in previous therapy

For many people, getting a diagnosis (or even considering one) can bring a mix of relief, confusion, and grief.

A different kind of therapy

You may have already had therapy that:

  • Focused heavily on thoughts or behaviour

  • Didn’t quite “fit” how your mind works

  • Left you feeling like you were still the problem

My approach is different.

I work in a neuroaffirmative way, which means:

  • We don’t try to “fix” you

  • We understand your nervous system and processing style

  • We work with your strengths as well as your challenges

What we might work on

Therapy can support you with:

  • Emotional overwhelm or shutdown

  • Burnout and chronic exhaustion

  • Self-criticism and shame

  • Relationships and feeling misunderstood

  • Identity following a late diagnosis

  • Difficulty accessing or staying with emotions

How I work

My work is grounded in Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT).

This means we:

  • Slow things down

  • Stay with emotional experience (at your pace)

  • Make sense of patterns that developed over time

  • Help you respond to yourself differently

This can be particularly helpful for neurodivergent adults who:

  • Feel things very intensely

  • Or feel disconnected from their emotions altogether

My experience

Alongside my therapy work, I have experience conducting autism assessments in adults, which informs my understanding of how autism can present in more subtle or internalised ways.

I also have a personal understanding of ADHD, having been diagnosed later in life. This shapes how I approach therapy — with both clinical knowledge and lived insight.

You don’t need a diagnosis

You are welcome to come to therapy whether:

  • You have a formal diagnosis

  • You suspect you may be ADHD or autistic

  • Or you simply relate to some of these experiences

The aim of therapy

The aim is not to make you more “normal”.

It is to help you:

  • Understand yourself more deeply

  • Feel less overwhelmed or alone

  • Develop a more compassionate relationship with yourself

  • Find ways of living that actually work for you
