TW Counselling Cardiff  | Online Counselling 

If you’re neurodivergent (or suspect that you might be) and feel that anxiety, low self-esteem or low mood is draining the joy out of everyday life, then finding a therapist who understands that you might need something different from traditional counselling can feel like a challenge.

​

You know that you want things to feel different, but the thought of having to make lots of eye contact, monitor what your body is doing and name your feelings when you rarely have the words for them seems like a big ask.

​

I know how it feels to spend hours searching online for quick fixes and solutions to find support, only to end up feeling like a failure because nothing seems to stick.

I want you to know that not all therapy is the same.

​

I am an Autistic neuroaffirming LGBTQ+ ally, who has specialised in working with anxious and neurodivergent young people and adults for eighteen years.

​

I know how anxiety can show up as a response to the situations, environments and systems we exist in and how it can impact living life to the fullest, including affecting the ability to attend formal education or feel at home in the workplace and social settings.

​

How I work

I believe that therapy needs to be done differently to support anxious and neurodivergent people, and because of this, I use a range of approaches that have been developed in partnership with other anxious and neurodivergent people.

​

These approaches include:

• Using immersive technologies like avatar therapy and augmented reality to help people who may wish to try something different to traditional talking therapy, with Minecraft Therapy coming soon

• Guided imagery and creative approaches like writing, drawing or making that don't always require words or explanations

• Talking therapy that is structured to meet your needs, including no expectations for eye contact and a sensory and environmental checklist to make the sessions feel as comfortable as possible.

​

If you are looking for a space to work things through, develop personalised strategies and process what might be happening, then counselling can provide the space to make that possible.

​

​

At the heart of my work is a belief that we all have the capacity to reach our full potential with the right support.

​

Length of therapy up to 20 sessions.

​

Availability

Book now

I offer a free 30-minute virtual consultation before all bookings to ensure that I'm the best person to help.

​

N.B **If you are seeking support for your child, then meeting parents and carers first helps me build a picture of what might be happening; we then book an appointment with your teenager so they can decide if we are a good fit.**

​

£80 for individuals. (50-minute session).

Several insurance providers cover me. Please ask.
