Being a Neurodiverse-Informed Therapist

My Journey & My Practice

For a long time, I had a sense that my brain didn’t quite work like everyone else’s.

Not in a bad way, just… different. A bit faster, a bit louder, sometimes brilliantly clear and focused, other times foggy and overwhelmed. I could hyper-focus on the smallest details, yet forget something I said five minutes ago. I could feel everything deeply — the energy in a room, the subtext of someone’s tone, the slight change in someone's expression — but sometimes struggled to explain how I was feeling in words. I learned how to "mask" without even realising that’s what I was doing.

It’s only recently, as I’ve started my own diagnosis journey for ADHD and begun unmasking in quieter ways, that things have started making more sense.

And it’s changed how I practise — or maybe it’s deepened what was already there.

I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. I never have.

But now, more than ever, I’m passionate about creating therapy spaces that feel right for each person who walks through my door (or into my Zoom room). That might mean sessions that are more structured, more visual, more flexible, or that honour your unique pace. It might mean writing things down. Or fidgeting with something while you talk. Or just sitting in stillness when words don’t feel right.

Being neurodiverse-informed isn’t just about knowledge, it’s about curiosity, respect, and making space for all ways of being human.

A space where you don’t have to mask - If you’ve spent years trying to fit into spaces that weren’t made for you - socially, emotionally, even in therapy - you’ll know how exhausting it is.

In my practice, you don’t have to translate yourself. You don’t have to explain why you talk a lot or go quiet, why your thoughts race, or why some days are just harder than others. You can stim, fidget, script, pause, info-dump, or simply be. And if you don’t quite have the words for what you feel, that’s okay, we can find other ways to explore it together.

I offer a space that adapts to you, not the other way around.

Clients often come to me when they’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, burned out or “too much.” Some are exploring a diagnosis of ADHD or autism for themselves. Others aren’t sure where they fit, they just know they process the world differently.

Whether you're navigating the stress of masking, struggling with identity, sensory overload, sleep difficulties, people-pleasing, emotional regulation, or just want to feel more in control of your life, I can help.

We might use talking therapy, creative tools, hypnotherapy, EFT tapping, or just some structured calm in a chaotic week. Together, we’ll build a way of working that feels clear, kind, and completely your own.

You don’t have to be “typical” to be supported

Therapy should never feel like another place where you have to shrink yourself or try to "fit in."

It should feel like a space where all the parts of you (including the ones you’ve hidden or silenced) are welcome.

And that’s the space I’m committed to offering. Not perfect. Not clinical. But real, respectful, and ready to meet you wherever you are.

If you’re curious, questioning, or simply want therapy that honours how your brain and body really work, I’d love to work with you.

You belong here.
