Counselling & Consultancy
Counselling
Counselling can help those who are finding things difficult in their lives. It can help you to better understand what isn’t working well in your life, or what doesn’t feel right, and help you to decide what and how you want to change.
I will provide a confidential space, with no judgement, so you can safely explore your thoughts, feelings and worries.
I specialise in working with teens and adults who have ADHD or autism, issues arising through mixed culture life, and/or issues arising through gender, sexual or relationship diversity.
For more information about the areas I specialise in, please check out the About Me page.
What does it involve?
I offer a free half-hour intro call, where we can find out more about each other. You will then need to decide:
- how often you want to have sessions
- length of sessions – 30, 50 or 90 minutes per session
I also offer single session therapy, or a pre-set block of sessions, which can be useful to work through a clear or specific issue.

Consultancy – supporting neurodivergent young people – for carers and teachers
I offer coaching or consultancy to parents, carers and teachers around how to support young neurodivergent people at home or in the school environment. This differs from therapy, but can often involve some therapeutic support, as the issues discussed can be very emotional for those involved – for example, many parents come to me because they are out of ideas, they need guidance or advice, or they’re not sure why ‘traditional’ (aka neurotypical) parenting strategies aren’t working.
I can also offer consultancy support to businesses and schools around how to make their workplace more neuro-affirming, or to help support an individual.
During these sessions, I would first gather information, listen to your concerns, then help with identifying potential causes or triggers for your child or young person, and help you to identify possible solutions. This would usually range from a single session to four sessions for the initial stage, depending on the complexity of your needs, after which I would usually work with parents or educators for half-hour follow-up sessions, as and when requested by you.
During the initial phase, the sessions are followed up with a written plan of what was discussed, including any support modifications or strategies, so that you have a written record to refer to. I will also send updated documents as and when required, off the basis of future discussions together.
