Neurodiversity
We provide neurodiversity-affirming support for adults with Autism and ADHD. We also offer comprehensive Autism and ADHD assessments for adults seeking greater understanding of their strengths, differences, and support needs.

Our work is informed by contemporary psychological research and draws upon a range of evidence-based approaches including:

• Mentalization-Based Therapy (MBT): MBT helps people develop a deeper understanding of their own thoughts, emotions and behaviours, as well as those of other people. It is particularly helpful for emotional regulation, relationship difficulties and attachment-related challenges.

• Attachment-Based Therapy: Attachment-informed therapy explores how early relationships continue to influence emotional wellbeing, self-esteem and relationships in adulthood.

• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): EMDR is a powerful and evidence-based treatment for trauma and distressing experiences. It helps the brain process experiences that have become "stuck", reducing their emotional intensity and impact on daily life.

• Internal Family Systems (IFS): IFS helps people develop a compassionate understanding of different parts of themselves. Rather than viewing emotions or reactions as problems, IFS helps people understand how different parts developed and what they may need.

• Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT): CFT is particularly helpful for shame, self-criticism and low self-worth. It supports the development of self-compassion, emotional safety and resilience.

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): ACT helps people build a meaningful life guided by their values while developing greater flexibility in responding to difficult thoughts and emotions.

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): CBT helps individuals understand connections between thoughts, feelings and behaviours, developing practical strategies for creating change.

• Narrative approaches: We explore the stories people tell about themselves, their relationships, and their experiences. Together, we work to identify strengths, develop alternative perspectives, and create more meaningful and empowering narratives.

• Mind-body and trauma-informed approaches, including trauma stabilisation, Flash Technique, EMDR-informed interventions, and sensorimotor psychotherapy: We recognise the impact that trauma, stress, and life experiences can have on both the mind and body. These approaches help clients develop greater emotional regulation, increase a sense of safety, and process difficult experiences at a pace that feels manageable.

• Existential and grief therapies: These approaches support people in navigating loss, life transitions, uncertainty, and questions of meaning, identity, and purpose. They provide a space to reflect on what matters most and how to move forward in the face of life’s challenges.

• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): DBT helps people develop practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, tolerating distress, and building a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling.

• Psychodynamic psychotherapy: Psychodynamic therapy explores how past experiences and unconscious patterns may influence current thoughts, emotions, relationships, and ways of coping. By developing greater insight and understanding, lasting change becomes possible.

Rather than fitting people into a particular model, we tailor therapy to the individual sitting in front of us.

For some people, psychological therapy can feel different when it takes place outside the traditional consulting room.

We offer Outdoor & Nature-Based Therapy, including walk-and-talk sessions and therapeutic work that makes use of the natural environment.

Sessions may involve walking together or sitting outdoors, depending on your preferences, mobility, the therapeutic work and the weather. Therapy remains psychologically focused and is provided with the same attention to confidentiality, boundaries and clinical care as our indoor sessions.

Working outdoors may be particularly helpful for people who find sitting face-to-face in a therapy room intense, who think more freely while moving, or who experience nature as calming, grounding or restorative.

Outdoor therapy can support:

• anxiety and stress

• low mood and emotional overwhelm

• trauma and nervous-system regulation

• self-reflection and emotional processing

• life transitions

• burnout and work-related stress

• relationship difficulties

• identity and self-esteem

• reconnection with the body and environment

Nature can sometimes become part of the therapeutic process itself, providing opportunities to notice sensory experience, movement, patterns of attention, emotional responses and our relationship with the wider environment.

Outdoor & Nature-Based Therapy can be offered as a standalone way of meeting or alongside indoor and online therapy, depending on what is clinically appropriate and most helpful for you.

Practical considerations such as accessibility, weather, privacy, location and what happens if we encounter other people are discussed together before beginning outdoor sessions.

We offer LGBTQ+ affirmative psychological therapy for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and other sexually or gender-diverse clients.

Our approach recognises that difficulties with anxiety, mood, relationships, identity or self-esteem do not exist in isolation from the social context in which people live. Experiences of stigma, discrimination, minority stress, rejection, concealment, family expectations or difficulties feeling understood can have a significant psychological impact.

Therapy provides a confidential and non-judgemental space in which you can explore your experiences without having to explain, defend or minimise important aspects of who you are.

We can support with:

• sexuality and gender identity

• coming out and disclosure

• relationships and intimacy

• shame and internalised stigma

• family and cultural pressures

• minority stress and discrimination

• trauma and attachment difficulties

• self-esteem and identity

• anxiety, depression and emotional distress

• navigating life transitions and questions of belonging

Our work is affirmative rather than pathologising. Sexual and gender diversity are not treated as problems to be changed. Instead, therapy focuses on understanding your individual experiences, relationships, history and psychological needs.

Where relevant, LGBTQ+ affirmative work can be integrated with approaches including Mentalization-Based Therapy (MBT), EMDR, psychodynamic psychotherapy, CBT, parts-informed approaches and trauma-focused therapy.

We aim to make accessing psychological support as straightforward and transparent as possible. Before beginning therapy, we will discuss your needs, answer any questions you may have, and explain all costs clearly so that you can make an informed decision about whether we are the right fit for you.

Free initial telephone consultation
We understand that seeking therapy can feel like a significant step. For this reason, we offer a brief initial consultation to help you understand how we work and to determine whether our service is likely to meet your needs. Following this, we will arrange an assessment appointment with the psychologist best suited to support you.

Initial assessment
The assessment is an opportunity for us to develop a detailed understanding of your current difficulties, your personal history, your strengths, and your goals for therapy. We are interested not only in symptoms, but in understanding you as a whole person. Together we will develop a shared understanding of what may be contributing to your difficulties and discuss the most appropriate therapeutic approach moving forward.

Psychological therapy
Most therapy sessions last 50 minutes and take place on a weekly basis. Research consistently shows that regular therapy sessions provide the stability and continuity needed to develop a strong therapeutic relationship and support meaningful change. However, we recognise that every person is different and we will always discuss frequency and duration collaboratively.
