THE HUMANISTIC AUTISTIC

​
Many people find their way here at a point where something essential has shifted, and the ways they’ve understood themselves up until now no longer quite hold.
Often, the questions arrive late at night, when the noise has died down and there’s space to think. You might be thoughtful, capable, outwardly managing well, while quietly holding yourself to standards that were never really yours to begin with.
This space is for slowing down, reflecting, and making sense of what no longer fits.
If you’re discovering later in life that you’re neurodivergent, or simply realising how much effort it’s taken to be “fine”, you’re not alone here. I write and work at the intersection of story, wellbeing, and neuro-affirming practice, with a particular interest in how we understand ourselves when an old narrative starts to fall away.
You’ll find reflective writing here on identity, grief, meaning-making, autistic and ADHD wellbeing, and the quiet work of becoming more congruent with who you actually are. You'll also find some of my personal musings on my own never-ending journey through identity and wellbeing from a lived experience perspective.
Alongside my writing and research, I also work therapeutically with individuals on a one to one basis. I offer a thoughtful, human space grounded in curiosity about you and your story. Some sessions look back, exploring how earlier experiences still shape the present; others are more forward-looking, where we think together about practical ways to support change. We work flexibly, responding to what feels most alive and useful.
