Neurodiversity affirming somatic therapy

Neurodiversity affirming
somatic therapy

A space for neurodivergent individuals to be seen, understood, and supported in their own way.

There is a certain kind of exhaustion that comes from living in a world that was never built for the way your mind and body work. A constant adapting, adjusting, and pushing through environments that do not quite fit. Many people arrive here after being misunderstood or misdiagnosed, having their needs not fully seen, or being told parts of themselves need to be fixed instead of understood.

Over time, this can lead to masking, adapting, and constantly overriding yourself just to get through. Holding yourself together, staying alert, and trying to meet expectations that do not match your system. Surviving in this way can leave little room to feel at ease, to breathe, or to be who you are, often leading to deep fatigue, isolation, or burnout.

This is a different kind of space. Here, your neurodivergence is not seen as something wrong, too much, or not enough. It is understood as a different way of sensing, thinking, and moving through the world, one that is unique and worthy of acceptance.

You do not need to become more typical. We work with your system, not against it. This means slowing down, listening to your body, and finding ways of living that reduce pressure rather than add to it.

Whether you are newly diagnosed, self-identifying, questioning, or simply exhausted, you are welcome here.

Who I Work With

I work with people across many areas of neurodivergence, including autism, ADHD, ADD, dyslexia, OCD, and AUD.

I support neurodivergent and sensitive people who may be navigating a wide range of emotional, relational, and life challenges, whether diagnosed, self-identifying, questioning, or exploring neurodivergence.

I provide affirming support for all sexualities, gender identities, and relationship dynamics. I support you in finding ways of relating and living that feel true and sustainable for you, especially if you have often felt outside of typical norms or expectations.

I support self-expression, autonomy, and the freedom to be who you are.

I do not offer diagnosis, but I can support you in exploring whether you may be neurodivergent, including support in seeking diagnosis in a safe way and integrating that understanding afterwards.

I am neither for nor against medication. If you choose not to take medication, that is respected. If you do, I can support you alongside that process.

My Approach

I offer a relational, somatic, curious, and deeply respectful approach. We slow down and listen to your body, your brain, and where masking has left its imprint. Using somatic practices, gentle inquiry, and nervous system-informed tools, we create space for regulation, expression, and rest.

I hold space for both the strengths and struggles of neurodivergence, including intensity, sharp perception, deep emotion, and the longing to be seen as you truly are. We work with patterns that are often unseen or misunderstood. I also bring a depth of experience in the patterning and behaviours connected to neurodivergence, allowing us to work with what is often unseen or misunderstood.

We explore:

  • How your nervous system responds to stimulation, stress, and rest to prevent burnout
  • Patterns of masking, over-adaptation, or sensory overwhelm
  • How emotions, focus, and energy flow uniquely for you
  • Practical strategies for navigating daily life, relationships, and work

Areas of Support in Neurodivergent Work

Many neurodivergent people experience patterns that are often misunderstood or misdiagnosed, including:

This work helps bring these experiences into context, so they feel less like personal failure and more like understandable responses to your system.

Relationship, Connection and Breakups

I offer support both individually and in relational work with couples, families, and friendships.

Neurodivergent relationships can feel different from neurotypical relational patterns, which often rely on unspoken “shared rules” around communication, emotional regulation, and roles. When one or more people are neurodivergent, relationships often need more explicit, personalised ways of relating that fit both nervous systems and capacities.

In relational work, we focus on understanding each person’s needs, communication style, and nervous system, and how these interact within the dynamic. This helps you recognise patterns between you and develop ways of relating that work for both people’s perspectives and capacities.

This may include ROCD (Relationship Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder), relationship anxiety, attachment patterns, and challenges with trust, closeness, and regulation.

Breakups can feel especially intense when attachment is deep, often involving grief, rejection sensitivity, and self-blame. Support focuses on processing loss, stabilising, and making sense of the relationship in a way that supports recovery and self-understanding.

Boundaries and Self-Expression

Many neurodivergent people grow up without learning healthy boundaries. Patterns like people-pleasing, fawning, or over-adaptation are often survival strategies rather than dysfunction.

In this work, we explore:

  • Recognizing your yes and no in your body
  • Expressing needs safely
  • Navigating sensory, emotional, and energetic boundaries
  • Becoming aware of red flags, green flags, and situations where you might be taken advantage of
  • Dealing with avoidance, withdrawal, or intense stimuli from others while maintaining regulation and safety
  • Untangling relational overwhelm from codependency, anxious or avoidant attachment styles
  • Reclaiming autonomy in relationships, time, energy, and self-worth

Hormonal, Pregnancy and Body-Based Changes

Hormonal shifts across the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and menopause can significantly affect neurodivergent experiences, often increasing sensitivity, emotional intensity, fatigue, or overwhelm.

These changes are understood as part of the whole system, where hormonal and nervous system patterns interact, and may influence how capacity, regulation, and daily functioning fluctuate over time.

Childhood Experiences Often Faced by Neurodivergent Individuals

  • Feeling different from a young age without understanding why
  • Being misunderstood or mislabeled as lazy, defiant, dramatic, or attention-seeking
  • Difficulty with social cues leading to isolation or bullying
  • Being told to mask or suppress natural behaviors
  • Copying others to blend in, causing identity confusion or burnout
  • School struggles despite intelligence
  • Sensory overwhelm often unnoticed in classrooms or social settings
  • Deep passions or interests dismissed as obsessive or weird
  • Frequent rejection or rupture in peer relationships
  • Receiving praise only for performance, not authenticity
  • Internalizing shame, anxiety, or low self-worth
  • Growing up with unmet emotional or sensory needs
