Hi I’m Rae🤍
I’m a Holistic Therapist and was diagnosed much later in life with Autism and ADHD (Audhd).
I believe we all experience the world in our own unique way — whether you are neurodivergent, neurotypical, or simply wanting to understand yourself and your nervous system a little more. You are welcome here.
As a holistic therapist and a (ATAA®) Practitioner (Adaptive Therapy for Autistic Adults), I recognize that there isn’t one approach that works for everyone.
I take the time to understand you — your communication style, your sensitivities, your energy levels, and what feels comfortable for you.
My own journey of understanding myself as an autistic and ADHD person has deeply shaped the way I work. I know what it can feel like to be overwhelmed, to mask who you are, to feel different or misunderstood, and to spend years trying to fit into a world that doesn’t always seem to make sense.
For a long time, I didn’t fully understand myself. Like many neurodivergent people, I became very good at adapting, coping, and carrying on. I learned to mask, push through, and prioritize others’ needs over my own. From the outside, I may have appeared to be managing, but inside, things could feel very different.
I know how exhausting it can be trying to make sense of yourself, your emotions, and the world around you — especially after years of feeling the need to adapt, mask, or meet expectations that don’t feel natural.
Discovering that I was autistic and ADHD changed how I understood myself. It offered me a new lens through which to view my experiences — not with blame or judgment, but with compassion.
This revelation also transformed my perspective on therapy.
I believe everyone deserves a space where we don’t have to explain how we feel, hide parts of ourselves that seem 'too much,' or apologize for simply being who we are. That is the kind of neuro-affirming therapy space I want to create for you.
You are not a problem that needs fixing! You are a whole person who deserves to be understood.
If you’ve spent years feeling different, overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, or merely exhausted from trying to hold everything together, I want you to know that you don’t have to do it alone.
Through hypnotherapy and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), I gently work with the mind, emotions, and body to help you explore what might be lying beneath the surface. Sometimes, we carry experiences, beliefs, fears, and patterns for so long that they can begin to feel like part of who we are.
My role is not to tell you who you should be but to support you in discovering what feels right and authentic for you. I want you to feel seen, heard, and accepted for who you are, rather than feeling pressured to change yourself to be understood.
Whether you’re navigating overwhelm, burnout, life changes, self-discovery, or are simply ready to understand yourself a little more deeply, you’re very welcome to have a chat with me during a free consultation.

MY APPROACH
As a Holistic Therapist and a neuro-affirming practitioner, I understand that one approach doesn’t work for everyone. For those who are neurodivergent, it can be especially important that therapy feels personalized rather than something you must conform to.
I want you to feel understood, respected, and completely comfortable being yourself. Your unique way of thinking, feeling, and experiencing the world matters, and our sessions can be adapted to suit what works best for you.
I offer a blend of different therapeutic approaches, including neuro-affirming hypnotherapy and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). This allows us to work together in a way that feels natural and supportive for you.
My neuro-affirming approach isn’t about trying to fix or cure Autism or ADHD. You are not broken, and you don’t need fixing. Neurodiversity is a natural part of human difference, and my role is to help you feel more comfortable, confident, and accepting of who you already are.
I provide a calm, relaxed, and non-judgmental space where your nervous system can begin to slow down—a space where you can breathe, pause, and dedicate time just for you.
Together, we can explore the challenges you face, while also recognizing and building on the strengths that make you uniquely you. I can help you develop greater self-understanding, confidence, and self-acceptance, soften that often very loud inner critic, and notice familiar patterns from a new perspective.
We can gently explore those situations that feel challenging and find ways of approaching life that feel less pressured and more manageable.
Whether you're struggling to navigate relationships, employment, parenting, friendships, confidence, motivation, or simply feeling overwhelmed by life, our sessions are a space where you don't have to pretend to be anything other than yourself.
My aim is to help you feel more connected to yourself, understand yourself more deeply, and move towards the person you want to be—without losing the person you already are. ❤️
If you’re Autistic, have ADHD, or both, you may feel like your mind and nervous system are always switched on. Constantly taking in information, overthinking, masking, and trying to keep up can leave you feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. Coping mechanisms such as people-pleasing, procrastination, anxiety, and avoidance can develop over time.
Hypnotherapy and EFT offer a safe, calm space to breathe and slow things down. By utilizing these therapeutic techniques, we can work together to help you feel more at ease with your thoughts and emotions, develop strategies for managing anxiety and sensory overwhelm, and gently loosen some of those patterns that no longer serve you.
We’ll gently explore cycles of avoidance, harsh self-talk, and busyness that make it difficult for you to switch off. Together, we'll identify what may be keeping you stuck and discover new ways to create more calm and balance in your life.
Sometimes, you simply need a place to stop—a place where you can close your eyes, breathe, fidget, move, pause, or simply be yourself without worrying about eye contact, masking, or whether you’re doing therapy “right.”
You’re not too much. You’re not doing it wrong. You deserve support that understands you.
As a neurodivergent therapist, I know that living in a world designed around neurotypical expectations can present its own unique challenges. I’m here to offer a safe, understanding space where you can truly be yourself.
