Neuroaffirming Assessment *** No Waitlist *** – autism, cognitive (WISC), academic and learning (WIAT) & other psychology assessments. Please contact me via email for enquiries.

Neuroaffirming Therapy. My books are at capacity. I will consider waitlisting for new clients, on the basis their mental health needs are not urgent. I expect limited availability from October 2024.

My approach

A person is disabled not by their impairment, but by the failure of their environment to accommodate their needs

Being different can be difficult and really painful. You can become filled with self-doubt trying to meet mainstream expectations.

I seek to support you as you learn to recognise and embrace your quirks and authentic self. I want you to find peace with the interesting, honest, individual you are. With me, you can be your authentic self. I will respect your rights and your dignity, and help you towards your personal goals of mental health and self advocacy.
