She/Her
Online counselling sessions to anyone within the UK and in-person sessions at my private practice, in Fareham, Hampshire.
Who I work with
I work with autistic and neurodivergent individuals and their families with and without a diagnosis.
Maybe you would like support to:
Understand what autism and neurodiversity may mean for you and your family.
Explore whether you or a family member is autistic or neurodivergent.
Work through feelings resulting from a late diagnosis or a misdiagnosis.
Work through difficulties with social communication or with establishing, managing and sustaining relationships.
Manage effectively in a workplace or education setting.
Understand your sensory experiences and preferences.
About Me and How I Work
As a gestalt relational counsellor I work with you in the here and now by focusing upon the what and the how of your experience. I do not neglect your past or your future, but instead ask you to consider the impact that your past or future has for you within the present. I am interested in how you perceive your environment and your individual context.
Qualifications & Professional Background
Bachelor of Science with Honours First Class in Psychology, Master’s of Science in Sport and Exercise Psychology and Level 5 Advanced Diploma in Humanistic Gestalt Counselling. I am fully insured and an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
I am an autism ambassador and subscribe to the scheme’s ethos of “improving the outcomes for individuals with autism”. I also believe that being autistic and neurodivergent myself means that I can relate to, and have experienced first-hand, some of the opportunities and challenges autistic and neurodivergent individuals and their families experience.
