Neuro-Sensitive Counselling
Understand your unique self, your needs and make sense of your experiences
You don't have to have everything figured out before you come to counselling.
Whether you are wondering about your neurotype, considering or going through an assessment, have received a diagnosis, or simply know that you experience the world differently, counselling can offer a space to slow down, make sense of your experiences and begin to understand yourself with greater compassion.
With my own lived experience and late discovery of neurodivergence, I understand that discovering or making sense of this part of yourself can feel big, isolating and overwhelming. It can bring relief and recognition, while also opening up questions about your past, your identity, your relationships and how you want to move forward.
Sometimes the starting point is simply: “Where do I even start?”
There is no prescribed pathway. Together, we can explore what supports you, what drains you, what you need more or less of, and discover ways that works with who you are, rather than continually asking you to work against yourself.
Depending on what feels relevant to you, counselling may include exploring:
🌿 Acceptance and self-compassion
Making space for your experiences without judgement and developing a kinder relationship with yourself.
🌿 Emotional awareness and regulation
Understanding emotions, recognising your capacity and finding ways to respond to what you are experiencing.
🌿 Sensory and environmental needs
Exploring how your surroundings, sensory experiences and daily demands may influence your wellbeing.
🌿 Executive functioning
Understanding how your particular way of processing, organising and managing daily life may affect you, and exploring practical supports that fit your way of being.
🌿 Needs, boundaries and advocacy
Identifying what you need, learning to communicate those needs and exploring accommodations that may help you feel more supported.
🌿 Wellbeing and self-care
Creating a personalised and realistic blueprint for a life that supports your energy, needs, relationships and sense of self.
You are the specialist in You. My role is not to tell you who you are or how you should be. I offer a safe, curious and collaborative space where we can explore together — at your pace — what makes sense for you and what you might want to change.
Mind-Body Approach
Re-connect. Re-attune. Respond.
Re-connect with your body.
Re-attune to what you feel.
Respond to what you need.
I offer holistic, tailored counselling that recognises there is no single approach that works for everyone. There is no prescribed pathway. We explore together, at your pace, what helps you feel more connected, resourced and able to navigate your life in a way that feels good for you.
Counselling doesn't always have to happen through words alone. Where appropriate, we can also incorporate gentle breath, movement and body-based practices inspired by traditional mind–body approaches.
These practices invite you to slow down and notice what is happening within you — sensations, tension, breath, movement and emotions — without needing to analyse or change them straight away.
A body-based approach can be particularly supportive for people who experience the world and their own internal sensations intensely. It can offer another way to reconnect with yourself, find a greater sense of grounding and develop awareness of what your body may be communicating.
Rather than overriding what you feel, we gently explore how to listen to it and respond with greater awareness and care.
Emotional Acupressure
Supported and Nurtured with Acupressure
Sometimes you may not have the capacity for a counselling session, or counselling may simply not feel like what you need that day. Acupressure can offer a gentle, body-based form of support that can be used alongside counselling or as a complementary wellbeing practice.
Acupressure involves gentle stimulation of specific points on the body using finger pressure or other forms of gentle pressure. Depending on your preferences, this may include pulsing or vibration with an acupressure pen, or the application of small magnets for ongoing gentle stimulation.
These practices may help you pause, reconnect with your body and create a sense of calm and grounding. They can be particularly supportive when you are feeling overwhelmed, tense, emotionally unsettled or simply in need of some nurturing.
Acupressure sessions are a gentle way to attend what body needs with a different kind of support.
Acupressure is offered as a complementary wellbeing practice and is not intended to replace counselling, medical care or other appropriate professional support.
