Our session will be

  • Collaborative

    We work together to understand what you’re experiencing and what support might help, at a pace that feels manageable and respectful.

  • Flexible

    Sessions aren’t driven by a fixed agenda or a single model. The focus and pace can shift depending on what you need, what’s emerging, and what feels supportive in the moment.

  • Integrative

    I draw on different therapeutic approaches — including relational, psychodynamic, CBT-informed, neurodivergent-affirming, and trauma-informed perspectives — depending on what’s most useful.

How I Work

Neurodivergent-Affirmative Counselling in London & Online

Approaches I draw on

Depending on what feels useful, our work may be informed by a combination of approaches, including:

  • Psychodynamic therapy - exploring patterns, meaning, and the impact of past experiences

  • Person-centred counselling -working at your pace, with empathy, respect, and collaboration

  • CBT-informed approaches -when structure or practical tools feel supportive

  • Neurodivergent-affirming practice -understanding how your mind works rather than trying to change it

  • Trauma-informed and neuroscience-informed perspectives - paying attention to safety, regulation, and nervous system responses

Pacing matters in my work. I don’t rush or push for change. Space is made for fluctuation, uncertainty, and integration over time.

We’ll check in regularly about how the work is feeling and whether it’s meeting your needs. You remain an active participant in shaping our work together.

A flexible, collaborative approach

I work in a relational, collaborative, and flexible way. Therapy isn’t something done to you , we work alongside one another, paying attention to what feels helpful and adjusting as we go.

I draw on different therapeutic approaches depending on your needs, preferences, and what is emerging in the work. There isn’t a single model you’re expected to fit into, and the work isn’t forced in a direction that doesn’t feel right for you.

My practice is neurodivergent-affirming and anti-oppressive. I don’t see distress as a personal failing or flaw, but as something that makes sense in the context of:

  • life experiences

  • relationships

  • environments and expectations

  • wider social and cultural systems

At the same time, I take suffering seriously. People often come to therapy because things feel painful, overwhelming, or no longer manageable, and that deserves care, attention, and respect.

Sessions are available online and in London.

I offer both:

  • short-term therapy (often around 12 sessions)

  • open-ended work, depending on what feels supportive for you.

We can work :

  • weekly or fortnightly. Where possible, I suggest beginning with six weekly sessions to establish a rhythm.

Frequently asked questions

  • I work integratively, which means I draw on different therapeutic approaches rather than asking you to fit one fixed model. My work can include relational and psychodynamic therapy, person-centred counselling, CBT-informed approaches, and neurodivergent-affirming and trauma-informed perspectives. What we use depends on you, what you are experiencing and what feels helpful.

  • Neurodivergent affirmative therapy recognises neurological differences such as ADHD and autism as part of human diversity rather than something that automatically needs to be fixed. We can still take difficulties and distress seriously while exploring your needs, environment, relationships, strengths, masking and the expectations you may have been trying to meet.

  • No , you do not need a formal diagnosis to work with me. I work with people at many different points in their understanding of themselves — before or after diagnosis, while waiting for an assessment, questioning whether they may be ADHD, autistic or AuDHD, self-identifying as neurodivergent, or choosing not to pursue a diagnosis at all.

    I can offer a safe space to explore your experiences and, if helpful, support you in understanding the UK diagnostic system.

    Diagnostic labels are often used within a medical model, which can sometimes frame difference in terms of disorder or deficit. In contrast, the social model and a neurodiversity-affirming approach recognise neurological diversity as a natural part of human variation and also consider the impact of environments, expectations and systems that may not fit everyone equally well.

    A diagnosis or label can sometimes provide a new way to make sense of your experiences and give you useful language, but it is not required. For some people, diagnosis brings relief or clarity; others prefer a broader, more holistic way of understanding themselves.

    Ultimately, therapy is about you, your experiences and what you want to explore — not about fitting into a label.

  • No,therapy with me is collaborative, respectful, and non-judgmental. I aim to create a safe space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns at your own pace, while I offer guidance when it feels helpful. I also welcome your feedback at any time. There is no “negative” feedback. Everything you share helps me understand what best supports you. My aim is to provide the best service in a way that works for you.

  • Most clients find that weekly sessions work best, as they help build momentum and allow us to get to know each other. Fortnightly sessions can also work, but ideally, we would start with six weekly sessions to establish a rhythm. We’ll then decide together on a pace that feels sustainable and effective for you.

    I often work with freelancers and shift workers, and if there is a strong commitment, we can explore ways to meet weekly, even with a variable schedule. The same day and time each week is usually most helpful, but I aim to be flexible within what works for you.

  • Yes. Some clients benefit from short-term work, often around 8–12 sessions, for a particular difficulty or specific challenge, while others prefer longer-term or open-ended therapy to explore deeper patterns, emotional growth or identity. We’ll work together to find a pace that feels right for you.

  • Yes. Confidentiality is a fundamental part of therapy and helps create a space where you can speak openly and safely.

    What you share with me is treated as private and confidential. There are only rare exceptions where I may need to act because of legal or ethical responsibilities .

    I will explain these boundaries clearly at the start of our work, and you can ask about confidentiality at any time.

  • You can book through the contact form on this website. You can choose either a free 15-minute consultation or go straight ahead and book your first full session — you do not need to have a consultation first.

    Once I receive your message, I’ll email you to suggest a suitable time and send you a text to let you know I’ve emailed. I won’t call you unexpectedly; we’ll always agree a time first.

  • Individual therapy sessions are 50 minutes and couples therapy sessions are 75 minutes.
