Not at all. The foundations are there as a supportive starting point if you’d like them, but they’re never required. Many neurodivergent clients find that having a gentle structure helps them feel oriented and understood, and gives them words for experiences they’ve carried alone. But if you already know what you want to explore, or if you prefer a more open beginning, we follow your pace and your needs. Therapy is always tailored to you.

​We will ​discuss in ​our intro call which ​are the areas you would like to explore and we will create a bespoke plan for our first few sessions together. After this, we can review and discuss ongoing therapy. 

Coming Soon! 

I will soon be offering online group sessions, for 6-8 people.

Across 8 weeks (90 minute sessions), we will be covering the Navigate Neurodivergence Foundations with psychoeducation and a resource pack including burnout maps, masking reflection tools and sensory regulation ideas.

Please get in touch if you would be interested and I will add you to my waiting list. 

Neurodivergent-affirming therapy recognises autism, ADHD and AuDHD as natural differences in how people experience and process the world. The focus is on self-understanding, regulation and reducing shame, not changing who you are.

Each foundation session follows a clear, predictable structure so you know what to expect.

Most sessions include:

• a short check-in and grounding
• a focused weekly theme (explained in an accessible way) of your choice
• guided reflection and discussion
• identifying patterns, needs, and what helps
• a gentle “takeaway” for the week (optional)

There is no pressure to talk about anything you don’t want to.

Yes - therapy can still be supportive if you’re in burnout or feeling overwhelmed. In fact, this is often when people find the gentle structure of the focus areas most helpful, because it offers clarity without pressure and gives us a way to understand what your nervous system is asking for. 

We take things slowly, focus on what feels possible, and create space for rest, regulation, and making sense of your experience. There’s no expectation to be “doing well” in order to start.
