About Dee
I bring compassion and a down-to-earth approach to create a space where adults and teenagers can bring their full selves, speak openly, safely, and without judgement. I have a passion for supporting individuals exploring Autism and ADHD, helping them develop a deeper understanding of themselves from a lived-experience perspective. I also have a particular interest in supporting those navigating emotional overwhelm, anger, generational trauma, complex trauma, dissociation, grief, health anxiety, phobias, perfectionism, people-pleasing, purpose and direction, cultural identity, gender identity, relationship challenges, kink dynamics and alternative relationship styles. My approach is neuro-affirming, inclusive of all cultures, genders and orientations. I focus on helping individuals better understand themselves, reconnect with what truly matters to them, and build the confidence to lead their life on their terms.
