Though I have broad and ongoing experience of working with people of all genders, ages, faiths, nationalities, sexualities and capabilities, the below are demographic groups with whom I would consider myself particularly specialized.
At the age where young people should have the freedom and security to take risks with their ambitions, desires, and hopes, we find a societal environment that has rarely been more uncertain, indifferent, or even openly hostile. When diagnosed or potential neurodiversity is involved, our vulnerability to these difficulties is often amplified.
I can help explore the intricacies of your specific neurodiverse traits and find ways to successfully mitigate and manage their more intrusive characteristics. This will help you integrate and embrace your neurodiversity, so that you don’t feel like you’re constantly fighting against a part of yourself you can’t control.
If you’re exploring the possibility as an adult that you may be neurodiverse, it can be a painful and disruptive experience. The process of familiarising yourself with the nuances of neurodiversity, what traits may or may not apply to you whilst seeking assessment and support is one that is often bruising, alienating and confusing. It can be hard to reflect on your life so far through this new lens and wonder what might have been different or easier had you or someone else recognised the signs earlier.
The world of neurodiversity can be a confusing, overwhelming and contradictory arena to navigate. Due to its genetically hereditary nature, it’s increasingly common that the clients I work with have recognised aspects of neurodiversity in themselves as their children go through an assessment or screening process.
