Neurodivergent people have often spent a long time in their lives trying to find professional help or support and being disappointed. As a queer autistic person myself, I use a combination of training and lived experience to find the best ways of supporting your aims. I only offer online sessions, and I am currently only able to support adults who are 18 or over. 

Counselling

I offer compassionate, neuro-affirming, queer-affirming counselling which is a safe space to talk about anything. Many neurodivergent people feel the need to look back and examine past experiences when they are first diagnosed or suspect they are neurodivergent. I can help with that process as well as anything else in life which is causing difficulty for you. Issues I often deal with include: integrating what a diagnosis means to you, parenting as a neurodivergent person, work issues, exploring sexuality or gender identity, learning about sesnory issues, capacity, regulation, emotions and motivation.

Coaching

If you would like to take a more forward-looking approach, then I offer calm and compassionate life coaching which goes at your pace, and helps you formulate your goals and then achieve them. If you struggle to work out what you want, or to stick to your aims, or to motivate yourself, coaching can help clarify your way forward and keep you accountable to get going. I also offer parenting coaching - parenting as a neurodivergent person, or parenting neurodivergent kids, or often both! 

I always work to the ethical standards required of me by my professional association, the ACCPH, and those of the BACP which provide a general and comprehensive standard for all counsellors. As part of those required standards, I have a regular counsellor's supervisor who oversees my work, and I always hold current professional liability insurance.

If you are interested in counselling or coaching with me, please email me at mailto:info@neuroreflections.co.uk or use the  contact page and I can will reply to arrange a free half-hour video-chat session via Zoom so you can decide if I am the right person for you. My fees are £50 per hour-long session on Zoom for either counselling or coaching.
