    Counselling and Shiatsu, Exeter, Devon

    It’s a dreary day here in Exeter and I’ve arrived early for school pick up….

    …..it does give me the opportunity to say I hope you get a sense of the therapy I offer from past blogs….but I have been thinking recently about what I do offer, and to whom…

    (I have pretty much the same client base for Counselling and Shiatsu)

    So as I have been on my own path of understanding mine and my kids neurodiversity…

    ..I have been working more and more with amazing clients facing challenges and learning to understand their own ADHD, AuADHD, Autism, Dyspraxia and Dyselxia….men, women, children and teens

    As I experience the Perimenopause/ Menopause I have been working with women facing this alongside me..

    I’ve always worked to support women with hormonal imbalances, around menstruation mostly… 

    The ‘biggy’ is when Hormones and neurodiversity clash…..boy this can be hard and challenging…Counselling and Shiatsu can support this so well…

    I also work a lot with chronic fatigue and low energy levels

    My Counselling is affirming but I will question, both the client and myself and only when is therapeutically helpful.

    Do get in touch if you want to discuss if and how I may be able to support you.

  • Counselling, Neurodivergence and the Menopause

    Well, wow, going through Perimenopause or Menopause can be tricky, wild, confusing, exhilarating, freeing….it can be a lot…..

    On top of this the impact of hormonal changes on a neurodivergent brain can be extreme……

    Lots of women are late diagnosed – at this point – because of this…

    Things start to become super hard – even to the point of burn out and no ability to perform daily life

    Even if a diagnosis isn’t in place, or sought for, or even considered or wanted, understanding and processing this impact can be super helpful.

    It may:

    Provide relief

    Alleviate guilt or criticism of self

    Allow reflection, of the past or of patterns that are no longer helpful

    Provide opportunity and possibility

    Reframe and offer new perspectives.

    If you are finding this time tricky, or yoy are searching for support, do get in touch to see if counselling with me maybe be of help.
