Elephas Counselling

Main information

Service categories: Counselling and therapies

I specialise in supporting neurodivergent adults and offer ADHD Counselling and Autism Counselling, while also welcoming adults from all backgrounds experiencing overwhelm, stress, burnout, bereavement and other difficulties.

I offer face-to-face counselling in Hayling Island, Hampshire near Chichester and Portsmouth, as well as online counselling across the UK.

​​Are you coming to terms with a recent or later-in-life diagnosis of Autism or ADHD? Or beginning to suspect that this may be part of your experience?

It can feel overwhelming to re-evaluate your childhood, relationships and life experiences through a new lens.​

Perhaps you’ve always struggled to navigate the workplace and are now wondering what support or accommodations to ask for, whilst battling imposter syndrome and self-doubt.

Maybe you want to explore who you are or who you want to be after years of masking and trying to fit in.

You may also be managing co-occurring health conditions, parenting a neurodivergent child, navigating menopause, or struggling to balance the demands of everyday life with self-compassion.

Talking to a counsellor who understands these experiences can feel affirming and validating.

Without needing to constantly explain or justify yourself, we can explore your challenges together and help you move forward with greater clarity, confidence and understanding of your needs.​​​
