Neurodivergent Coaching & Counselling That Fits
What to Expect
The Discovery Call
Before anything else, we talk. This first conversation is free, informal, and without pressure or expectation. It's a chance for you to ask questions, get a sense of how I work, and for us both to feel whether working together makes sense. If it does, I send you a form that you ideally complete before our first session, so we can make sure sessions actually work for your brain from the start. If it doesn't, that's ok too.
The First Sessions
Sometimes people arrive with a clear sense of what they want to explore. Sometimes they know something isn't right but aren't sure where to start. Both are completely fine — we take our time, explore what feels most alive or most pressing, and begin to get a sense of what our sessions might look like for you.
What Happens in Sessions
What unfolds depends on you — on what you're carrying, what you're reaching for, and what feels most useful at any given point.
Sometimes sessions are about building forward towards precise goals: getting clearer on what you want, understanding what's getting in the way, finding practical ways to move. This is where coaching comes in — active, focused, grounded in where you want to go.
Sometimes it's about understanding what's been or why things are the way they are: making sense of experiences that have shaped you, sitting with things that haven't had space to be processed, finding a different relationship with your own story. This is where counselling comes in — slower, deeper, held with care.
In practice, we often move between the two. What matters is following what's actually needed, rather than staying in a lane for the sake of it.
Some sessions are very talky — we follow a thread, pull on it, see where it leads. I'll ask questions you might not have thought to ask yourself: about patterns, about what's underneath the obvious answer. Sometimes we slow right down and pay attention to what's happening in your body, not just your head. Sometimes we use a guided visualisation when words aren't quite reaching what needs to be reached. You won't be given homework you don't want, and you won't be pushed somewhere you're not ready to go. Each session ends with a short stitch-up — a brief recap of what emerged and what you might want to carry forward.
The Approach
Whatever shape our sessions take, a few things remain constant.
Integrative
Drawing on a range of therapeutic approaches rather than a single fixed model, because different things are useful at different times and for different people. The framework adapts to you, not the other way around.
Trauma-informed
Understanding that many of the patterns, responses, and struggles that bring people to therapy make complete sense in the context of what they've been through.
Neurodiversity-affirming
Understanding that your brain is not to be fixed. Your neurological differences are part of who you are, not a problem to be solved. We work with your brain, not against it.
Non-judgmental
Curiosity and kindness through it all. Nothing you bring will be met with judgement.

Google Meet is my go-to, but if you prefer something else, just let me know.

Book your discovery call directly through Tidycal - it's straightforward and you can choose times that work for you. For regular sessions, this is discussed together when we see each other.

When do I pay?

It is if you're:
- Neurodivergent (living with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, OCD, PDA, giftedness, etc. or a lovely combination of these) and over 18 years old.
- Parents (neurotypical or neurospicy) who love their neurodivergent kids to bits, but need better understanding and approaches that work for everyone's sanity.
- I work with adults and parents — I do not offer direct work with children.
Do I need a diagnosis?
Absolutely not! Some people find it useful to be formally diagnosed; others do not. In working together, we focus on your experiences, so a diagnosis is not essential.
Will you give me a diagnosis or prescribe medication?
No, I will not. To both! I am not qualified to assess you formally or prescribe any medication.
