A therapist who understands from the inside out
I'm an AuDHD therapist based in Maidstone, Kent. I'm adult-diagnosed with autism and ADHD. That's not a footnote to my practice; it shapes everything about my working practice.
Most neurodivergent adults arrive in therapy having spent years adapting to environments built for neurotypical people. You may have learned to mask so well that you've lost track of who you are underneath it. You may have received a late diagnosis and be trying to make sense of a life reframed. You may not have a formal diagnosis at all, but know something feels different about the way you move through the world.
All of this is valid starting material for therapy.
What I can help with.
I work with neurodivergent adults across a range of experiences, including:
Autistic burnout — exhaustion from sustained masking and sensory overload
Late diagnosis — processing a new identity, grief for the past, and what comes next
ADHD and executive function — how difficulty with organisation, time, and attention intersects with self-worth
AuDHD complexity — navigating the particular push-pull of autism and ADHD co-occurring
Anxiety and overwhelm — especially when rooted in sensory, social or environmental overstimulation
Masking and identity — reconnecting with who you actually are, not the performance you've learned to give
Pre-diagnosis exploration — you don't need a formal diagnosis to begin. If you suspect you're neurodivergent, that's enough
I also have a particular interest in addiction and its frequent comorbidity with neurodivergence.
My approach
I I reject pathology-based and medical models of neurodiversity as helpful foundations of therapy and instead work with you as a human being and not a label.
I don't treat neurodivergence as a problem to fix. Autism and ADHD are not deficits, they are different ways of processing and experiencing the world. Therapy isn't about helping you pass better as neurotypical, it's about helping you accept yourself as you are.
I'm client-led, not compliance-led. We work toward what matters to you, not toward conforming to external expectations about how you should be.
I focus on actual distress, not social conformity. If something causes you genuine difficulty, we'll work on that. If something is simply different, we won't pathologise it.
Sessions are held online via Zoom, which many neurodivergent clients find more manageable than in-person therapy — no commute, no waiting rooms, no unhelpful environmental surprises.
I firmly believe that the neurodivergent community has a lot of valuable knowledge that the rest of society could benefit greatly from.
