Neurodivergent Adults
Therapy for Neurodivergent Adults in St Albans & online
Whether you were diagnosed late, are on a waiting list, or have just recognised yourself in something you read, you are welcome here. You don't need a diagnosis to work with me.
People often come to me with:
- exhaustion from masking, or a sense of having performed "normal" for years
- burnout, overwhelm, or shame about things that seem easy for other people
- feeling "too much" or "not enough"
- relationships where they feel misunderstood
- making sense of a late diagnosis and seeing their past in a new light
How I work
As well as training, I have lived experience of neurodivergence, personally and in my family, I won't treat the way your mind works as the problem. We'll look at the patterns and the pressures around you, at your pace. Only accept what is true for you. We can work online or in person and sessions can be structured, or more open, depending on what works for you.
I'm a therapist, so I can't diagnose but I can support you while you explore whether assessment would help, and talk through the options.
Get in touch
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about how counselling works, or to arrange a free 15 minute phone or video consultation. This enables us to discuss the reasons you are thinking of coming to counselling, whether it could be helpful for you and whether I am the right therapist to help.
All enquires are usually answered within 24 hours, and all contact is strictly confidential and uses secure phone and email services.
Directories
Sessions
Individual Therapy
Sessions are for a 50 minute ‘hour’ (the remaining ten minutes is so I can reflect and be fully present for each client). My fee is payable by BACs in advance of the session.
Your session is your time. If you arrive late, we'll still finish at the normal time.
Couples Therapy
Session duration is 60 minutes and in some cases 90 minutes. My fee is payable by BACs on the day of the session.
I am not able to conduct the session if only one of the couple attends and if you arrive late, I will still end the session at the normal time.
Guidelines
- If therapy is to be beneficial, it is important that you are available for your weekly sessions on a regular basis.
- I ask for 48 hours' notice if you need to cancel, because your time is held for you. Sessions cancelled with less notice are charged in full.
- Please come to sessions sober, so that our time together is useful.
- I'm not an emergency service. If you need urgent support, please contact your GP or the Samaritans.
