You don’t need fixing. You deserve understanding.
Trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming therapy and supervision.
At Exceptionally You, I believe therapy should adapt to the person, not the other way around.
Many people spend years adapting, masking, holding things together, or trying to fit environments that were never designed for them in mind. Therapy can be a place to step out of that pressure and begin to understand yourself more clearly.
Some people process through conversation. Others through creativity, storytelling, play, shared experiences, or building things with their hands. Together we find approaches that fit the way you naturally think, connect, and make sense of the world.
Exceptionally You is about becoming more fully yourself rather than trying to become someone different.
Who I Work With
The people who find their way here are often thoughtful, reflective, and used to holding things together for everyone else.
They may be:
Neurodivergent people, including autistic and ADHD clients
Parents of neurodivergent children seeking support and understanding
People navigating trauma or complex life experiences
People experiencing burnout, masking fatigue, or identity questions
People trying to understand themselves beneath years of adaptation
Practitioners seeking neurodivergent-affirming supervision and reflective practice space
At its heart, this work is about creating space to understand yourself more clearly and live in a way that feels more aligned with who you are.
How I approach this work
My approach to therapy is thoughtful, collaborative, and grounded in curiosity.
Rather than trying to change who you are, our work focuses on understanding your experiences more clearly and exploring what might help life feel more aligned with your values, needs, and ways of being.
I take a trauma-informed and neurodivergent-affirming approach, with a particular interest in the ways people learn to adapt to environments that do not always recognise difference.
Sessions remain grounded in evidence-based approaches, including EMDR, CBT, ACT, and DBT-informed strategies while adapting to the individual sitting in front of me.
Therapy may incorporate conversation, creativity, play, storytelling, shared experiences, and therapeutic gaming where these support engagement and therapeutic goals.
My work is trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming, and inclusive of LGBTQIA+ identities and experiences.
