ADHD and neurodivergence
We all experience the world differently. For some people, understanding ADHD or recognising aspects of their neurodivergence can help make sense of experiences that have felt confusing or difficult for years.
You might feel that you have always had to work harder to keep up with expectations, struggle to understand why certain situations affect you differently, or recognise that you've spent a long time masking parts of yourself to fit in.
Exploring neurodivergence can bring a sense of relief and understanding, but it can also raise questions about identity, relationships, past experiences and the future. I have written a blog on this website about grief after ADHD diagnoses which you can read here. I have also written a guest blog for The Nook.
Counselling offers a space to explore these feelings, understand your needs and consider what might help you live in a way that feels more authentic to you. You don't need a formal diagnosis to talk about your experiences or explore whether ADHD or other aspects of neurodivergence might be relevant to you.
LGBTQ+ identity and relationships
Understanding who you are and where you belong isn't always straightforward. You might be exploring your sexuality or gender identity, questioning what feels right for you, or navigating the challenges of being yourself in a world that isn't always kind or understanding.
You may also be working through the impact of past experiences, family expectations, relationships, or the pressure to hide parts of yourself.
I offer a space where you can explore your identity and experiences without judgement or the expectation that you need to explain or justify who you are.
My practice is also kink-aware and welcoming of people with diverse relationship structures and experiences.
Whatever stage of your journey you're at, you are welcome to bring your questions, uncertainties and experiences to counselling.
During my training there was little to no mention of the specific discrimination and struggles that LGBTQ+ people face, and so already having knowledge and lived experience I took it upon myself to educate my peers on this as much as I could. I introduced them to things like the language surrounding this community such as, nonbinary, the reclaimed queer, demisexual, internalised transphobia, I introduced pronouns and showed them examples of how to be affirming with understanding. I am passionate about LGBTQ+ rights and supporting people on their journey to discovering and accepting themselves.
