About me

I am an AuDHD therapist specialising in supporting neurodivergent clients navigating difficult or overwhelming life experiences, including PTSD and complex trauma.

Many people I work with navigate the intersection of Autism, ADHD, AuDHD and adversity - sensory overwhelm, burnout, masking, identity struggles, social anxiety, relationship difficulties, and the impact of bullying, rejection, or discrimination.

My work focuses on the whole person - untangling trauma, anxiety, low mood, hypervigilance, self-criticism, and the relational patterns that follow a lifetime of feeling never quite right in a world not built for you.

I also provide post-diagnostic support for those processing the meaning of a recent autism, ADHD or AuDHD diagnosis, offering a space to explore what it means for identity, past experiences, and how to move forward from here.

My Approach:

PTSD and complex PTSD develop as responses to traumatic experiences, often deeply rooted in relational wounds where safety and trust were compromised. These responses are closely tied to shifts in nervous system states, such as hypervigilance, shutdown, or avoidance, which shape our interactions and relationships.

For neurodivergent individuals, these challenges can be even harder. A sensitive nervous system can make trauma feel more overwhelming, and being misunderstood by others often adds to the emotional pain. That's why it's so important to have a space where the connection between trauma and neurodivergence is understood.

In therapy, we explore how your past experiences impact your current thinking patterns, emotional states, and behaviours, including the effects of trauma on your body and mind. By developing practical emotional regulation strategies, you can then start working toward building stronger connections, improving resilience and self-acceptance, and enhancing your overall well-being in a grounded and supportive way.

ABOUT ME

I work both within the NHS and independently with adult clients (18+), supporting both neurotypical and neurodivergent individuals. I am a neurodivergent, bilingual BABCP-accredited practitioner with 10 years of experience. My practice integrates Compassion-Focused Therapy, EMDR, Schema Therapy, CBT, Mindfulness, and somatic approaches.

With both lived experience and robust clinical training, I offer a genuine, practical, and affirming approach to therapy. If this resonates with you, feel free to get in touch.
