My practice focuses on adults who are themselves living with high functioning autism and/or HSP and/or ADHD. The sessions provide opportunities to talk in detail about one’s own unique experiences living with ASD or ADHD with someone who gets you.

Engaging guided explorations lead to the revelation of blind spots and the discovery of ways to see things from new perspectives. Collaborative development of tailor-made strategies helps with communication, boundary-setting and the management of daily challenges. Sessions are free from judgement and you are supported to work at your own pace.

Exploration during the sessions leads to increased understanding and the development of practical strategies which may facilitate communication, productivity and an increased sense of well being. Instead of endeavoring to “treat or fix” ASD or ADHD, the priority is on getting to know oneself better, leveraging strengths and optimizing quality of life.

A key benefit of sessions is being able to talk in depth about one’s experiences of living with ASD or ADHD as this chance might be rare in one’s life. Areas of exploration can include communication, interaction dynamics, discomfort with conflict, sensory overload, perfectionism, overthinking, emotion regulation, procrastination and the tendency to overwork.

With an MA in Counselling Psychology, my expertise as a counsellor stems from extensive formal education and over 15 years of clinical practice.
