- Neurodivergence, including ADHD and autism

My philosophy
Individuality
I value each person as an individual and adapt my approach to meet your unique needs. I take time to understand your strengths and challenges, offering a supportive and respectful therapeutic relationship.
Responsibility
I take my responsibility as a counsellor seriously and am committed to providing you with the support and understanding you need.
Equality
I am committed to offering a space where everyone feels respected, valued, and treated with dignity. I work in an anti‑discriminatory way to ensure therapy is accessible and welcoming to all.
Competence
With years of experience and in‑depth training in psychotherapy, I am competent and qualified to offer you the professional support you need.
Autonomy
I work alongside you with the belief that you already hold the wisdom and potential to discover your own answers and move forward in a way that feels authentically yours. I always aim to encourage and support your autonomy.
Transparency
I communicate openly and transparently so you feel informed and involved. I welcome your thoughts on what feels most helpful and the direction you’d like our work to take.
Let's work together on your future.
If you are ready to take the first step in a new direction, get in touch with me.
I will support you to explore your experiences safely and without judgment, helping you understand yourself -your feelings and your needs - more deeply, and develop new paths forward in your life.
Client Testimonials
Unlocking feelings
“You gave me the chance to vocalise the thoughts and troubles I was going through - something I desperately needed to unlock feelings I’d never spoken about. I’ll be forever grateful for your professional help, care, and understanding during a time of need.”
Building self worth
“I worked with Nat for 7 months. I gained a much better understanding of myself- why I react the way I do - and developed invaluable coping skills for when I feel low or respond in unhealthy ways. This has had a hugely positive impact on my relationships and on how I view myself and my sense of self-worth.”
Outlook lifted
“I really appreciate the help and work you've put in for me over the past year; I feel my outlook has improved a lot and I've managed to assert myself in certain situations which I might not have managed before.”
