About me and my therapy practice
As well as offering therapy for issues such as anxiety, grief and trauma my personal experiences, my client work and training make me ideally placed to help with birth trauma/babyloss, gender identity and neurodiversity.
THERAPY RELATING TO NEURODIVERSITY
Awareness of neurodiversity is increasing and whether diagnosed, or undiagnosed, many people now are now linking their thoughts and behaviours to autism (ASD), ADHD, ADD, ODD and OCD.
I work with people who are seeking some understanding of their condition or disorder. Processing a diagnosis or simply starting to recognise neurodiverse tendencies can be challenging. I work with the individual, meeting their needs through accommodations to sessions where necessary or I can work with family members or carers who are supporting people with neurodiversity.
GENDER IDENTITY ISSUES
- Non binary & transgender identity
- Intersex individuals
- Gender dysphoria
- Relationship & sexuality issues
- Gender fluidity
- Issues relating to social, hormonal and physical/surgical transitioning.
We live in a world where tolerance and understanding is not always forthcoming and members of the queer community are increasingly at risk from prejudice and ignorance.
If you would benefit from a supportive, safe and non-judgmental space to discuss how your gender identity or sexuality is affecting your day to day life, then please get in touch.
CHILDLOSS, BIRTH TRAUMA, STILLBIRTH & INFERTILITY
- Infertility,
- Miscarriage,
- Stillbirth,
- Traumatic childbirth experience,
- Medical termination,
- Unwanted pregnancy,
- Neo natal death,
- Sudden death (including cot death),
Each person's experience is different and I will support you while you work through your grief and the repercussions of your loss.
I can support grandparents, siblings and other family members who might be struggling with their own response to this loss.
