Here to offer counselling for individuals,  parents, caregivers or children who have received or potentially awaiting a diagnosis of Autism, ADHD or Autism Spectrum Condition and the worries, concerns and thoughts that stem from this. I have a personal understanding of how these differences can affect everyone's life and can use person-centred theory to work through these concerns.  

There can be times in life where we struggle to have confidence in the decisions we make, or to have any positive feelings of ourselves. This can present especially during feelings of low mood, any life changes or when re-living past life experiences. During this time it can mean our boundaries slip, we start to people please and have difficulty saying no without guilt or negative feelings. Together we can work on self-compassion, contentment, acceptance and confidence using different ideas and strategies that is comfortable for you. These can be finding out your personal values, looking at passive and aggressive behaviours, and building confidence to communicate in a firm, calm and clear way. 

Anxiety and depression are two of the most common forms of mental health concerns that can create stressful, physical, mental and emotional responses. These can be life altering and feel impossible to manage. I work alongside you to find achievable techniques to help combat these unwanted feelings and to build up resilience for your future self when/if these feelings present themselves again. 

In our lives we enter into many different relationships and play different roles within them. We are someone's child, a sibling, a parent, a spouse, a friend, a fling, a soulmate etcetera. From each of these relationships come different expectations and how to navigate them can leave feelings of confusion, sadness, anger but also fulfilment and happiness. We can use the space to address problems and conflicts that arise in relationships by exploring and unravelling how they make you feel, think and behave. 

Mental health struggles is still a huge barrier that is faced in todays society with expectations being placed on individuals that they should be strong and silent. I have experience of working with clients of all ages and aim to build a therapeutic relationship that takes the above into consideration when working through any concerns or problems in your life, in a non-judgemental way. 

Children and Adolescent counselling is specifically adapted for young people aged between 7 - 18 years old, and takes into consideration different laws and ethics that surround this age bracket.

Children can experience long term affects from adverse childhood experiences that can change their brain development and growth, using play therapy can help a child process their experiences and their world.

Being a adolescent means being in one of the most influential parts of your life with pressures from school, friends, parents/carers, whilst going through changes in your body and understanding who you are. Together we can work through uncertain, anxious and confusing times in a safe and respectful manner. 

Counselling and therapy can be an effective way for older adults to work through their feelings and improve cognitive ability. Working through thoughts about aging and reflecting on lives experiences and focusing on future goals.
