As an openly neurodiverse individual myself, I specialise in offering counselling support for neurodiverse individuals, including screening for ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder, neurodiversity coaching and counselling support for individuals and families. In addition, I offer general counselling, psychotherapy, CBT, mindfulness and critical incident debriefing support.
I also offer counselling for individuals, couples (relationship counselling) and through Employee Assistance Programmes (EAP) and health insurance (BUPA).
