I spent a lifetime feeling like I was different to everyone I knew. It wasn’t until my early twenties that I pursued diagnosis and found out I was both autistic and ADHD (a few years apart).

Diagnosis gave me an invaluable framework of self-understanding, but I couldn’t help but thinking… now what?

My whole life had been spent trying to squash myself into neurotypical moulds. I now had words to understand why I thought and behaved in certain ways, but I hadn’t been given any practical ways of figuring out how to start living in a way that actually respected the way my brain worked.‍ ‍

I also struggled to find support services and networks that actually understood me. Therapy was (and continues to be) a useful support, but my therapists still didn’t have lived experience of what it meant to be neurodivergent. And definitely not what it meant to experience the world as an auDHD person of colour.

These are just some of the gaps I aim to fill through my practice.

In a world that lacks understanding, I believe in the power of lived experience. I bring my full humanness to this human-centred work, and show up as my authentic self to create a space where you can do so too.
