About me
As a Neurodivergent counsellor, obtaining a late diagnosis of ADHD in 2012, and with a neurodiverse family, I understand the importance of finding the right support. My passion for counselling was born from the desire to be the support I wished I had received when I was first diagnosed, a counsellor with more than just a textbook understanding of neurodivergence, who would be able to see beyond the stereotypes and work with the client to find ways to navigate life with a diagnosis, not in spite of it.
Ways of Working
I am an Integrative counsellor, blending three theories, Person-Centred, Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, to find the best balance for each individual. Whilst that may sound complicated, it means is that I am here to listen and really hear what you are saying without any judgement. We might look at what has happened in the past, or at tools to help manage the future, but each session is led by you.
I offer face-to-face counselling at Eastham Hall on the Wirral Peninsula. It is a lovely, peaceful setting and a safe space to explore what is happening for you, and what a diagnosis means for you, whether you suspect you may be neurodivergent, you are exploring diagnosis or have already received your diagnosis.
