Counselling for young people, parents and adults

Who I work with

I am passionate about working with:

• Young people
• Parents and families
• Adults experiencing challenges with university, work, family or burnout
• Neurodivergent people, including ADHD, autism and AuDHD
• People living with type 1 diabetes
• People in helping professions who are prone to burnout, including provisional psychologists and psychologists

What we might work on

• School, work, relationship or family difficulties
• Anxiety, low mood and big emotions
• ADHD and executive functioning, such as getting started, staying organised and following through
• Autism and AuDHD, including understanding yourself and what you need
• Getting more out of school, work or sport
• Gaming that has started to take over
• Living with type 1 diabetes
• Working out who you are and what matters to you

How I work

Overall, my approach is neuroaffirming and strengths-based. I mainly use three approaches:

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). This involves working out what matters to you and building your life around it even when hard thoughts and feelings show up.
• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Noticing the patterns in how you think, feel and act and testing out changes.
• Collaborative and Proactive Solutions (CPS). This involves understanding the perspective of a carer and a young person and solving problems together so the solutions are ones everyone can live with.
