I founded Not Like the Others Counselling out of my belief that autistic and ADHD people need a different kind of counselling: One that adapts to their differences rather than forcing a round peg into a square hole. I wasn’t diagnosed autistic and ADHD until my 30s, so I know myself how important it is that people ‘get you’. It’s not about ‘curing’ your autism or ADHD, or coaching you how to ‘mask’ more – it’s about learning to accept yourself as you are, and working with what you’ve got, whether you’re diagnosed or not.

Life with a neurodivergence can be challenging, but it doesn’t have to be miserable.

I also have a particular interest in working with people experiencing chronic ill-health and physical disability, which is much more common in our community. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I am inclusive of all sexualities and genders.
