Moving from surviving to thriving

Counselling and Coaching for ADHD, Autism and AuDHD

Counselling and Coaching for ADHD, Autism and AuDHD

 

There are many challenges that come with being neurodivergent in a neurotypical world. It can feel like the world wants you to be a different version of yourself to ‘fit in’.  You may find that things feel overwhelming, or that you move between stress, fatigue and burnout.  You may have sensory sensitivities which can make day to day activities exhausting.  It can sometimes feel as though you are constantly fighting against your brain.

You may be pre-assessment and trying to figure out why things feel so hard for you when they seem to be so easy for others.  School or employment may lie somewhere between difficult and traumatic by not working for you in the way your brain needs it to.  You may also be recently or late diagnosed and trying to make sense of what this all means for your life pre-diagnosis and the ‘what now?’  Perhaps you have spent so much of your life masking, it’s difficult to know where to start in being the person you really are and figuring out ‘who am I?’

Your experiences and challenges can feel isolating.  But you are not alone.

Counselling and coaching can be effective with neurodivergence because it can help you make sense of your experiences and support you in finding the approaches and strategies that empower you to live your life in your way.

Testimonial

I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you once again for all the help and guidance you gave me throughout all of our sessions, I really felt lost before our first session and because of your help I don’t feel lost or confused within myself anymore. You really have changed my life for the best. The world is still super confusing, but you have helped me build a suite of tools I can use to navigate through the confusion, and they will help me learn and grow.   Thank you truly Helen.

Testimonial

As this was my first experience of person-centred counselling, I wondered if I had anything to talk about. I was astonished at what the strength of the relationship could help me understand about myself and how I relate to others and why. You have helped me in ways that I struggle to put into words, and I will forever be grateful to you.

Testimonial

As part of my Level 4 counselling, I needed to undertake 10 hours of counselling.  I found it extremely beneficial and felt inwardly very grounded and self-aware which was thanks to the counselling that I had.  I felt safe and valued and very much appreciated the experience.  The skill of the counselling sessions gave me a fantastic insight of how the therapy worked and what it is like being on the other side of the ‘room’.  Thank you for a fabulous experience.

Thank you Helen, so much for all your help and support. I feel it has helped me greatly. Although I wouldn’t say things are completely perfect, I feel a lot more confident about my feelings and emotions than I did when I first started the sessions. The lessons I have learnt I will continue to work on. I know where Helen is if I need to book any more sessions in the future. Helen has been amazing and I would totally recommend her to others. Again, just a massive thank you, I no longer feel as broken as I did!

Being different doesn’t mean being less. It just means being you.
