About Me
I am a Counsellor and I have been working with Clients since 2015. I also have 30 years of experience in the public sector building supportive relationships.
I have a special interest in NeuroDivergence. I am myself Autistic and ADHD. This insight helps me understand the challenges faced when the NeuroTypical and NeuroDivergent worlds collide. I am NeuroDivergent Affirming which means I see advantages and disadvantages for all Braintypes.
My strengths are my warmth, my ability to engage genuinely without a facade or pretence and my honesty in exploring delicate issues sympathetically. I am very open minded and work hard to help clients understand that they are important to me in this caring Therapeutic Relationship.
I studied Person Centred Counselling and Psychotherapy at Warwick University and am committed to continuous Professional Development. Most recently this has evolved with Creative and Expressive Therapies alongside previous training in Trauma work, Bereavement and Family/Parenting work.
I am considered quite 'out there' as I believe that being authentic is important. I am a bit sweary, relaxed and am as transparent as is needed at any time. I am very boundaried and professional, but lighthearted and 'real'. This can surprise some Clients who expect someone formal and closed.
I write about NeuroDivergence in my honest, raw Blog.
