Counselling is a safe, confidential space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences with someone who will listen without judgement. It is not about being told what to do or having your life “fixed” for you. Instead, it offers the time and support to make sense of what you are going through, understand yourself more deeply, and find your own way forward.

The Aim of Counselling

The aim of counselling is to give you the chance to feel heard and understood. For some, this means finding clarity, self-acceptance or new ways of coping. For others, it may be about making changes, finding balance, or simply having somewhere to talk openly.

In neuro-affirmative counselling, the focus is on valuing and respecting neurodiversity. This means seeing neurological differences—such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia and others—not as problems to be “cured” but as natural variations in how people experience and interact with the world. The aim is not to change who you are, but to support you in living authentically and confidently as yourself.

What to Expect from Person-Centred Counselling

Person-centred counselling is based on the belief that you are the expert in your own life. My role as a counsellor is to walk alongside you, offering empathy, acceptance and honesty.

In our sessions, you can expect:

• A safe and welcoming environment where you can be yourself without pressure to mask or fit in.

• A collaborative approach – we go at your pace, focusing on what feels most important to you.

• Respect and affirmation of your identity, experiences and ways of being in the world.

• Time to reflect and process your feelings, thoughts and experiences in a supportive space.

You don’t need to prepare anything in advance or know exactly what to say. Some people come with specific issues they’d like to explore, while others just want space to untangle what’s going on inside. Wherever you are starting from is completely okay.
