Many people are happy with their existing supervisor but may feel they would like extra supervision when it comes to neurodiversity issues. I offer ad hoc consultation to support with neurodiversity questions related to your client or education work.

Increased awareness of neurodiversity means that more and more clients are recognising or exploring their own neurodivergence, and there has been a particular surge in awareness of autism and ADHD. Issues that are common for neurodivergent people are not covered in most counselling training, or in many other professional roles. Working in standard neuronormative ways may halt work with the client and become harmful to their progress.

I only have availability for ad hoc sessions so you must also have regular supervision in place if required by your role. I am unable to offer emergency consultation but will endeavour to meet with you as soon as possible when requested. Risk and safeguarding remain the responsibility of you and your existing supervisor or manager as applicable.

About Me and How I Work 

I do not currently have the capacity to offer regular supervision, and therefore offer ad hoc supervision and consultation sessions.

People usually book a session with me because they'd like to discuss how they are supporting a particular neurodivergent client or clients, or because they'd like to learn more about the neurodiversity paradigm, neuronormativity, and neuroaffirming practice. Sessions therefore tend to have a practical or educational focus. I consider my approach to be relaxed but direct.

Other supervisees come to me when their regular supervisor is on holiday, or they would like the lived experience perspective of a neurodivergent counsellor.

I also work as an integrative counsellor (person centred, gestalt, transpersonal, CBT, DBT) and rewind trauma therapist.

Professional Experience and Qualifications

I am a qualified clinical supervisor and NCPS-accredited counsellor. I trained as an integrative counsellor and hold a Level 7 Postgraduate Certificate in Clinical Supervision of Psychological Therapies Practice from the University of Exeter, completed in 2023. I am DBS checked, ICO registered, and hold professional insurance.

I have experience working in private practice; the NHS; schools; and the charitable sector. I have worked with adults, young people, parents, and children aged 7 and up.
