The Curiously Kind Counsellor

Main information

Service categories: Counselling and therapies

I offer online counselling designed with autistic and neurodivergent adults in mind — a space where your way of thinking, sensing and communicating is understood rather than pathologised. Many people who are autistic, late-diagnosed, self-identified, or exploring their neurodivergence have spent years adapting, masking or trying to fit into neurotypical expectations. In my work together we focus on you, not on forcing you to change how your mind works.

My approach respects your sensory and emotional experiences and supports you to:

  • Make sense of how neurodivergence shows up in your life
  • Reduce overwhelm, burnout and self-doubt
  • Explore long-held patterns like masking or chronic over-effort
  • Build clearer self-understanding, confidence and self-trust
  • Navigate identity, relationships and emotional regulation in ways that feel genuine to you

You don’t need a formal diagnosis to work with me — what matters is your experience and what feels meaningful for you right now. Sessions are online or by telephone, flexible in pace, and shaped around your needs rather than a one-size-fits-all model.

Together, we make space for your way of being as it is — valid, valuable and whole — and gently untangle the pressure to constantly adapt to neurotypical expectations.
