How I Work
Therapy with me is not about trying to 'fix' you. It is about developing an understanding of how you experience yourself and the world around you.
Sessions focus on understanding both how you process things from the inside – sensory, cognitive, or emotional – and how this shapes your responses and reactions.
This can include experiences that have been overwhelming, repeated, and not fully recognised or supported.
That can help things become clearer and easier to make sense of.
Some sessions may be more reflective, others more practical. We can follow what feels most useful in the moment.
Practical work might involve finding adjustments that make things easier day-to-day – for example around energy, expectations, or demands.
This work can also apply to:
• How you see yourself and your place in the world
• Patterns in how you think and respond
• Emotional reactions and overwhelm
• How you take in and make sense of your experiences
• Sensory experience and its impact
• Nervous system regulation
• How your energy and capacity change over time
Autism-Affirming Practice
I see autism as a different way of processing and responding to your surroundings, not a deficit.
The aim is not to change who you are, but to reduce friction between your way of being and the environments you move through.
Working Together
Therapy with me is collaborative and shaped around you.
We can work with clear structure or keep things more open, depending on what feels helpful.
We go at a pace that fits you. There is no pressure to move faster than feels manageable.
If speaking feels difficult, we can use chat functions instead. Silence and short breaks are also completely fine. Direct communication is welcome.
You don't need to sit still during sessions — movement, fidgeting, stimming, or walking are all welcome.
If something doesn’t feel right, we can talk about it openly.
