About My Practice & Background
My commitment to supporting the neurodivergent community is deeply rooted in both extensive professional expertise and personal lived experience. As a certified neuro-affirming practitioner with formal accreditation from Aspire Autism Consultancy, I have worked extensively with Autistic and AuDHD clients to build therapeutic spaces tailored to their unique processing styles. Beyond my clinical training, I bring a profound, firsthand understanding of neurodivergence through my personal life and family dynamics, alongside my ongoing work running the PTENUKI charity. This blend of specialised professional insight, charitable leadership, and personal experience allows me to look past traditional, compliance-based frameworks. Instead, I offer an authentic, deeply empathetic, and peer-informed partnership that honours your autonomy, validates your lived experience, and truly understands the nuances of navigating a neurotypical world.
What to Expect in Our Sessions
At Mind Over Matter Therapy, counselling is entirely collaborative, self-determined, and designed to respect the unique way your mind navigates the world. Our sessions completely strip away the rigid power imbalances of traditional therapy; there is absolutely no pressure to mask, sit perfectly still, or maintain forced eye contact. Instead, you are fully welcome to move, pace, utilise fidget tools, look away, or rest your eyes while we process thoughts together. We work flexibly and at your pace, offering gentle transition rituals to ease anxiety around shifting mindsets, incorporating written communication options if speaking feels too taxing, and allowing for processing silence whenever you need it. By recognising processing styles like monotropic “attention tunnels” and honouring a profound drive for autonomy, we partner as equals to help you identify sensory boundaries, manage burnout, navigate intersecting identities, and establish sustainable strategies that protect your energy and validate your authentic self.
