Neuro-affirming therapy for autistic people and their loved ones. Because you ARE enough.
Hello there…
My name is James and I’m an AuDHD counsellor, providing person-centred counselling services for autistic adults and for parents of autistic children. Self-diagnosis is completely valid here (though I can’t offer assessments or diagnoses).
You’re here because you might be experiencing some or more of the following challenges:
Exploring your identity as a neurodivergent person
Struggling with the stresses of parenting a neurodivergent child
Dealing with the aftermath of a late diagnosis and wondering where to go from here
Feeling lost or alone in a world not made for people like us
Not being able to receive counselling that feels like a fit for you
Neuro-affirmative counselling
Neuro-affirmative counselling is all about celebrating and supporting you for who you are, rather than trying to ‘fix’ you. Because you are enough already. Neurodivergent people bring unique strengths and perspectives, but we also face real challenges in a world built for neurotypical people.
The counselling I offer comes from the perspective of a neurodivergent counsellor and focuses on acceptance, self-understanding and finding strategies that will work for YOU as an individual, rather than imposing someone else’s idea of the right way to do things. We all get enough of that in our daily lives.
We will work together in a way that suits you, making you feel comfortable and working at your pace. Life is hard enough. Counselling doesn’t have to be.
