UK Autistic Therapists

"An opportunity to cultivate attention to the life of your inner body, with the support of a skilled and experienced practitioner. The body is an ancient storehouse of emotional experiences. These are stitched into our tissues – cells, organs, fascia, bones. Whatever we have been too young, scared, overwhelmed or frozen to feel, the body holds, until we are ready to let it into consciousness and express and integrate it. Yoga, somatic and parts work therapy offers a safe space to gently unpick some of the seams."

"Everyone faces difficult situations and painful experiences. As a person-centred counsellor, I offer you the space and time to explore whatever feels important, in a non-judgemental and safe setting. I believe that everyone has the capacity to grow, change, and heal, given the right conditions. Through counselling, I hope to help you feel heard, understood, and empowered. It's important to me to offer authentic warmth and care to clients and listen with empathy and understanding. Together we can explore ideas and options, helping you to imagine a new way forward.  My counselling room is comfortable and relaxing, with the chance to have a hot drink while we meet. It is also wheelchair accessible, and there is access to a toilet."

I work with all neurotypes but my experience and training has enabled me to work effectively with neurodivergent clients (ASD/ADHD) as I am more aware of sensory overload, overstimulation and autistic burnout. For those struggling with eye contact my rooms can easily be adapted to suit clients needs.  I endeavour to help my clients regulate themselves and welcome requests for reasonable adjustments, so they can get the most out of our sessions together.

With 25+ years of experience and being AuDHD myself, I understand the process of reframing your life. Whether you're a professional navigating workplace demands, a student balancing university pressures, or have relationships at the forefront of your concerns, I'm committed to helping you define and achieve your own vision of quality living. My approach is neuroaffirming, LGBTQ+ friendly, and focused on practical realities.
