Neurodivergent Therapy

Psychoanalytic therapy centred on ADHD, autism, and the realities of living neurodivergent.

An overhead photographic view of a smooth, light-wood tabletop used in psychoanalytic work, with a blank white A4 sheet at the center representing open possibility, surrounded by small symbolic objects: a polished river stone, a neatly coiled red string, and a simple brass key. Off to one side lies a soft grey card labeled “unconscious patterns” in small, clean typography. Gentle, diffused natural light from above creates subtle, contemplative shadows around each object. The composition is carefully balanced and minimalist, with sharp focus throughout, conveying the process of decoding internal logic and making hidden narratives visible in a calm, thoughtful, and professional manner.
A tranquil waiting area in a psychotherapy practice, completely empty of people, with two mismatched yet harmonious armchairs in soft teal and warm charcoal wool facing a low oak coffee table. On the table rests a neatly stacked selection of thoughtfully designed mental health books and a single leafy green plant in a matte ceramic pot. The walls are painted a soothing warm white, accented by a simple abstract artwork in muted blues. Diffused overcast daylight enters from a side window, softening the entire scene. Photographic realism with a slightly wide, eye-level composition, balanced using the rule of thirds, creating an atmosphere that feels grounded, welcoming, and unpretentious.

ADHD and Autism Support

Living with ADHD or autism often means working hard to fit systems that were never designed for you. My psychoanalytic approach is grounded in lived understanding of neurodivergence, adapting therapy so your differences are respected, explored, and thoughtfully supported.

My approach

Adaptations

We can adjust session length, pace, and structure; use notes or screensharing; factor in stimming, movement, or cameras-off time; and leave extra space for processing, tangents, or shutdowns so therapy works with, not against, your wiring.

Session options
A close-up of a minimalist wooden desk in a psychotherapy office, no people present, with a single open lined notebook, a fine black fountain pen resting diagonally across the page, and a small sand timer with pale grey sand mid-flow. Behind, a blurred view of a tidy bookshelf and a discreetly placed tissue box. Late-afternoon natural light from an unseen window falls diagonally across the desk, creating gentle highlights on the paper texture and soft shadows along the pen. Photographic realism, shot from a slightly elevated angle, emphasizing order, intention, and quiet focus, with a calm, professional mood that suggests space for making sense of complex inner narratives.
