Neurodivergent Affirmative Therapy for Adults in London & Online

I work with adults coming to therapy for many different reasons, including ADHD, AuDHD and other neurodivergent experiences, burnout, anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, emotional overwhelm, perfectionism, low self-esteem and questions around identity or self-understanding.

You are welcome whether you identify as neurodivergent, neurotypical, are questioning, or prefer not to use diagnostic labels at all.

No ,you do not need a formal diagnosis to work with me. I work with people at many different points in their understanding of themselves , before or after diagnosis, while waiting for an assessment, questioning whether they may be ADHD, autistic or AuDHD, self-identifying as neurodivergent, or choosing not to pursue a diagnosis at all.

I can offer a safe space to explore your experiences and, if helpful, support you in understanding or navigating the UK diagnostic system.

Diagnostic labels are often used within a medical model, which can sometimes focus on difficulties, disorder or deficit. A social model and neurodivergent affirmative approach also consider the impact of environments, expectations and systems, and recognises neurological diversity as a natural part of human variation.

For some people, a diagnosis can bring clarity, validation and new language for understanding their experiences. Others prefer a broader or more holistic way of understanding themselves.

Ultimately, therapy is about you, your experiences and what you want to explore ,not about fitting into a particular label.

Neurodivergent-affirmative therapy means therapy adapts to you, rather than expecting you to adapt to therapy.

We work with the way you naturally think, process, communicate and experience the world. This might mean adjusting the pace or structure of sessions, using practical tools where helpful, allowing different ways of communicating, and making sense of experiences such as masking, burnout, overwhelm, executive-function difficulties or sensory needs.

It also means taking distress seriously without automatically treating neurodivergence itself as the problem. Together, we can explore what is difficult, what has shaped your experience, and what helps you live in a way that feels more sustainable and more like you.

I work with people both before and after diagnosis, as well as those who are questioning or self-identifying.

Yes. I work with anxiety, overthinking, burnout, stress, depression and low mood, whether or not these experiences are connected with neurodivergence.

Yes. I offer individual therapy for people who want to explore relationships, attachment, boundaries, communication, recurring patterns or difficulties feeling understood and connected.

I also offer couples therapy for partners who would like to attend together, including couples where ADHD or neurodivergence may be part of the relationship dynamic.

I offer in-person therapy across Central and South East London, with current locations including London Bridge, Forest Hill, Sydenham, East Dulwich/Peckham and Brockley/Deptford, depending on availability.

Yes. I offer online individual and couples therapy across the UK and internationally.

Online therapy can work particularly well if travel is difficult, your schedule varies, you live outside London, or you simply feel more comfortable talking from your own space.

No. You can use the contact form to choose either a free 15-minute consultation or go straight ahead and request your first full session.

The consultation is simply an opportunity to ask questions and get a sense of how I work before deciding whether you would like to begin. I won’t call unexpectedly — we will agree a time first.
