Specialist Therapy for Autism and ADHD in Sheffield
Specialist therapy, without putting you in a box.
For when you’re feeling stuck, hopeless or frustrated.
You might not know what you need, only that you want things to change.
I offer a trauma-informed space to explore what is shaping your reactions and to support you in finding your own ways forward. Our work together is more than simply talking things through. It is a chance to notice patterns, build awareness and begin to relate to yourself differently.
Together we will work to develop a toolkit to support you now that you can continue to draw on in the future.
Experienced in working with trauma, bereavement, eating disorders, bipolar disorder, intrusive or obsessive thoughts and behaviours, BPD and intense or overwhelming emotions.
Working with the whole picture
Most of us can’t neatly describe what we’re struggling with in just one headline.
Your experiences interact with one another and shape who you are.
My work focuses on how these experiences link with each other.
Many people come to see me because they are looking for specialist understanding rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. The problem is that support is often organised around single issues or diagnoses. This can mean receiving help for your eating but not for the thoughts and feelings behind it, or being offered structured approaches that don’t always fit with neurodivergent ways of thinking.
Drawing on specialist training across eating disorders, trauma, bereavement, BPD, autism and ADHD, I work with these connections rather than treating issues in isolation. I use strategies from a range of approaches, including CBT, ERP and DBT, adapting them to fit you rather than following a single model.
Where helpful, I also bring in grounding and regulation techniques such as EFT tapping, focused breathing and sensory grounding.
Starting where you are right now, we will develop a way of working that feels right for you.
Issues I work with
Many of the people who come to see me don’t arrive with one clear problem. Their experiences overlap, change over time, and interact, making it hard to know where to begin.
You don’t need a diagnosis, a crisis, or one single defining event for what you’re going through to be worth exploring here. Counselling is not about where you start from, but about finding a way forward that feels right for you.
