I support neurodiverse women and girls to find their strengths, grow their wellbeing and recover from mental health difficulties. My approach recognises the unique challenges and strengths that hormones and neurodiversity have on mental health.

I offer preliminary screening sessions for Autism and ADHD. These are not formal diagnostic assessments, but they can provide clarity and guidance if you’re wondering whether seeking a full assessment would be helpful. They take about 90 minutes (we can put in breaks) and you will receive a written report that you can share with a work manager or college.

One-to-one sessions offer a personalised coaching experience, providing focused support tailored to your unique strengths, challenges, and goals, ensuring you receive the attention and guidance you need to thrive.

Why specialist support matters

• Different presentation: Autism and ADHD can look different in women compared to men, and are often under-recognised.
• Masking and burnout: Many women push themselves to “fit in,” which can lead to anxiety, depression, or exhaustion.
• Intersection with mental health: Neurodiversity often overlaps with challenges like low self-esteem, emotional regulation difficulties, or identity struggles.

How support can help

• Understanding & validation: Having your experiences recognised can reduce self-blame and bring relief.
• Practical strategies: Tools for emotional regulation, managing overwhelm, improving focus, and building balance.
• Safe space: A therapeutic relationship where you don’t need to mask, and where your strengths and individuality are celebrated.
• Exploration: Gaining insight into your neurodiverse identity and how it shapes your relationships, work, and wellbeing.
