Neurodiversity

Living with neurodiversity can be both challenging and deeply misunderstood, especially if you’ve spent years masking, self-blaming, or feeling “too much” or “not enough.”

Whether it be ADHD, autism, dyslexia or dyspraxia, talking about both the struggles AND the superpowers in therapy can help you to better understand yourself and the way your mind works.

If you’ve been formally diagnosed or simply recognise neurodiverse traits in yourself, therapy can offer a supportive space to explore your experiences with curiosity and compassion.

What a neurodiverse mind might feel like

You may find yourself saying things like:

“Why can’t I just get started?”

“My mind is always racing.”

“I get overwhelmed so easily.”

“I am always so clumsy.”

“I cannot understand social cues.”

"Why does everyone else find spelling so simple?”

How Therapy Can Help

As an integrative therapist, I offer space to explore how neurodiversity shows up for you, without shame, judgement, or rigid expectations. Therapy can help you:

Explore how neurodiversity affects your thinking, emotions, and behaviours, both now and historically.

Unpack the shame, guilt, or frustration that may have built up over years of being misunderstood.

Reconnect with your strengths and superpowers so that you can shift away from cycles of self-criticism.

Work collaboratively to find approaches that align with how your brain actually works, not how you’re “supposed” to function.

Neurodiversity and intersectionality

I also bring awareness to how neurodiversity intersects with gender, race, trauma, and social structures. For many women and marginalized people, neurodiversity often goes unrecognised or mislabelled as anxiety, mood disorders, or personality traits. Therapy can be a space to unravel those layers and make sense of your experience in a wider context.

You’re Not Broken. You’re Wired Differently.

If you're exhausted from trying to “keep up,” constantly masking, or just want to explore how your mind works in a more compassionate way, therapy can help. You deserve support that sees the whole of who you are.
