30/60/90 Minute Sessions With a Fully Qualified & Insured Neurodiverse Counsellor
Autism & ADHD Informed Counselling For Adults, Children, Couples & Family
With Helen, a Neurodiverse Counsellor who Understands the Lived Reality of Autism and ADHD.
I'm Helen
A later in life diagnosed Autistic and ADHD counsellor.
I'm passionate about nature and the wonderfully positive effects it has on us (hence all the nature photos on my website!). I love being in my garden and quiet nights in. Mental Health, Psychology and Counselling have always fascinated me and I love to understand, and know the 'why' behind things!
My journey towards becoming a counsellor began with needing therapy myself. My counsellor was my fearless comapnion, always there, with empathy and an infectious warmth. I felt understood.
Having felt and experienced the profound benefits of counselling first-hand, I threw myself wholeheartedly into 4 years training to become a Neuro-Affirming Counsellor; to be your 'fearless companion' when you need help and support too.

My Approach
A Calm, Neuro-Affirming Space to Pause, Explore and Grow
Sometimes, we just need a safe space to say exactly how things are.
I offer a safe, calm and confidential space where you can show up exactly as you are, without needing to mask or explain yourself. Together, we can gently explore what’s brought you to counselling and begin to untangle the thoughts, feelings and patterns that may be holding you back.
A Neurodiversity-Affirming Space
As an experienced neurodiverse counsellor, I understand that everyone’s brain works differently. We’ll work at your pace, in a way that feels right for you, whether that means allowing extra time to process, adjusting for sensory needs, or using creative ways to express what feels hard to put into words.
My Commitment to You
Together, we’ll work gently, building self-awareness, insight and self-confidence as you reconnect with your authentic self. My hope is you'll gain deep, meaningful self-understanding and clarity.
As we work together, I'll always be fully present, listening deeply to both the spoken words and the unspoken emotions, accepting each and every part of you without judgement. We will also be sure to celebrate your strengths and progress along the way.
Gently Untangling Life's Knots
This practice of pausing and processing, is so important in order for life to continue in a different way. Just as you can't rush untangling a ball of wool without making the knots tighter, counselling provides a safe, patient and non-judgemental space for us to slowly and carefully separate your overlapping concerns.
Over time, clarity, self-understanding and confidence can grow, helping you move forward in a way that feels more grounded and true to who you are, even when life has felt too much.
