Welcome – I’m glad you’re here! I am Emma and welcome to my website.
I specialise in neurodiversity-affirming therapy for autistic, ADHD and AuDHD adults navigating burnout, trauma, and overwhelm, adapted to how your brain works. .
I have been offering one to one counselling and doing group work with neurodivergent people since 2012.

My approach specialises in:
I offer a warm, collaborative, relational and down‑to‑earth. Offering a deeply validating space focused on self‑understanding and nervous system regulation. My work is neurodiversity‑affirming and trauma‑informed. Many people may have experienced therapy previously that has meant that feel misunderstood in therapy, pathologised, rather than supported, like they were "too much" or "not enough". My work centres on creating a space where you don't have to perform or translate for yourself.
Many neurodivergent people live with a nervous system that feels more easily overwhelmed. You might notice that stress, sensory input, or social interaction can quickly tip you into anxiety, agitation, or shutdown. This experience is often described as having a narrower window of tolerance: a smaller range in which the nervous system feels settled, flexible, and able to cope.
My work draws on Polyvagal Theory, developed by Dr. Stephen Porges. This framework explains how our autonomic nervous system continually scans for safety and influences how we respond: socially, emotionally, and physically.
In simple terms, our nervous system moves between three states:
This can mean moving into hyperarousal or hypoarousal more quickly, and it may take longer or more support to come back to regulation. However, there is wide individual variation, and environment makes a big difference: supportive, sensory-aware, autonomy-respecting contexts can effectively “widen” someone’s window over time, whereas chronic stress, invalidation, or inaccessible environments can narrow it further. In therapy, we can explore simple, sensory-friendly ways to help your nervous system find calm, tailored to what feels right for you.

My role is to work alongside you non-judgementally, with empathy, curiosity, and care to help you make sense of your experiences and celebrate your strengths.

I value diversity in all its forms. I was raised in a neurodivergent, mixed heritage family in London, United Kingdom. I strive to ensure non-discrimination and inclusivity. I am neurodiversity and LGBTQ+ affirming and I am anti-racist. I acknowledge the places where I hold privilege, power, and biases and I am committed to working on these. I am also committed to on going learning, continued professional development, training and clinical supervision to continue to grow and develop as a practitioner and human being.
“People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be. When I look at a sunset, I don't find myself saying, "Soften the orange a bit on the right hand corner." I don't try to control a sunset. I watch with awe as it unfolds.”― Carl R. Rogers, A Way of Being
