I am a neurodivergent affirming psychologist. I utilise the latest behavioural and psychological interventions including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness Integrated Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (MiCBT) and Compassion Focused Therapy to help neurodiverse people thrive including addressing common psychological difficulties such as:
-stress, worry and anxiety,
-mood management and depression,
-adjustment difficulties,
-motivation, focus and concentration difficulties,
-health and disability,
-relationship difficulties and interpersonal conflict,
-trauma, grief and loss.

I am committed to welcoming everyone – all abilities, ages, beliefs, cultures, genders, identities, bodies, relationships and sexualities.

I have extensive experience supporting neurodivergent students at four universities over the last 15 years including helping students discover their strengths and unique learning styles and developing social skills to improve their enjoyment of university life. I am also well-known in the LGBTQA+ community as being an affirming therapist who understands the intersectionality between neurodivergence and queer identity.

I use a strengths-focused approach with clients, their partners and their families to help develop a more self-compassionate response to difficulties experienced by ADHD. This includes developing an understanding that:
-ADHD is not a deficit or dysfunction but part of the unique way we see and contribute to the world;
-People who are ADHD can develop helpful adaptive ways to live just like everyone else;
-People who are ADHD experience difficulties and challenges like everyone else and have unique strengths in managing them;
-Understanding neurodiversity and ADHD can help reduce self-loathing, anxiety and stigma around learning, thinking and behaviour differences;
-Environments such as schools, tertiary education and workplaces are rarely designed or managed with neurodiversity in mind and learning how to find our own way to achieve our goals is possible despite the barries we often face.
-Self-compassion is a vital self-care tool that helps people with ADHD be kinder to themselves and more direct with others about their needs.

If you choose to work with me, I look forward to collaborating with you to develop new psychological skills to support you moving from surviving to thriving.
