Counselling for Neurospicy Folk

ADHD, Autism, and Other Neurodivergence

Hello! If you're neurodivergent then I'm glad you've found my web site. My name's Hayley, and I specialise in working with ADHD, AuADHD, autistic, and other neurodivergent clients - or clients who wonder if they might be neurodivergent. I'm a member of the Bristol-based Attention Allies group, which specialises in supporting people with ADHD.

Living with ADHD presents a unique set of struggles, but it also comes with a set of strengths and talents that neurotypicals simply don't have access to. As a psychotherapeutic counsellor who's neurodivergent myself, I can help you explore, recognise, and harness your strengths, and to develop strategies for managing your life. It doesn't matter whether you're struggling with time management, organisation, impulsivity, or emotional regulation, we can explore your experience together.

If sitting in a room for 50 minutes doesn't appeal to you, you're welcome to book yourself in for some walk-and-talk sessions. You can reach me via the contact details below, or you can reach out and schedule your first session with me.
