Package Fees: recommended min. 12x sessionsHow I work with neurodivergence:You may have a recent diagnosis or navigate neurodiversity for longer. You may suspect that you are neurodivergent, or are self-identifying. Even with the knowledge of a diagnosis, it can be challenging to navigate the many ways that neurodiversity may show up in your life.I am neurodivergent myself, and I have a particular interest in ADHD and autism. I know from lived experience how important it is to work with a therapist who understands how to adapt therapy and counselling to neurodivergent needs. I try to do this in collaboration with you, based on what you find helpful. This can involve making space for accommodations, the need for structure and practical approaches, and tackling potential emotional challenges.

Being neurodivergent often means that we have a strong sense of justice, and I believe that the world we live in impacts our mental health. As such, my practice considers the effects of climate change and the social and political challenges of our times.My Background:I am a therapist and psychotherapeutic counsellor, and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. I can work with you online from anywhere in the world (outside the US) and in person in London, UK.
