A bit about me

Hello and welcome! I’m Jane.

​​

Support for neurodivergent individuals and couples

​

Relationships can become exhausting when communication repeatedly breaks down, emotions escalate quickly, or one or both partners feel misunderstood, unheard, or emotionally disconnected.

​​

Many of the couples I work with are navigating the impact of neurodivergence within their relationship, including ADHD, autism, masking, emotional overwhelm, rejection sensitivity, or differing communication styles. Often, couples deeply care about one another but find themselves stuck in painful cycles they cannot seem to move out of alone.​

I offer couples therapy for partners who want support to communicate more effectively, better understand one another, and create a relationship that feels calmer, safer, and more connected.

​

When couples come to therapy with me

Couples often come to see me when:

​

• Communication has become difficult or emotionally charged

• One or both partners feel unheard, criticised, or misunderstood

• Anxiety, stress, or emotional overwhelm is affecting the relationship

• Neurodivergence is part of the relationship dynamic

• Conflict keeps repeating without resolution

• Emotional shutdown, masking, or rejection sensitivity are affecting connection

• They want to strengthen the relationship 

• They are part of the LGBTQ+ community and want an affirming therapeutic space

​

You do not need to be at crisis point to benefit from couples therapy. Many couples come because they value their relationship and want support to navigate challenges together in a healthier way.

​

How therapy with me can help

​

I offer a calm, supportive, and non-judgemental space where both partners can feel heard and understood.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and neurodivergent-affirming. Together, we may explore communication patterns, emotional responses, relationship dynamics, boundaries, anxiety, or the impact of past experiences and life pressures on your relationship.

​​

I believe therapy should feel human and supportive, and my aim is to help couples better understand themselves and one another, reduce conflict, and build stronger emotional connection.

​

Neurodivergent-affirming and LGBTQI+ inclusive couples therapy

I have considerable experience supporting clients from the LGBTQ+ community, including trans and gender-diverse clients, including additional training and extensive professional research into working with neurodivergent clients and relationships, including autism, ADHD, and Dyspraxia.  

I understand how exhausting it can feel when relationships are impacted by misunderstanding, masking, emotional overload, or feeling as though you are constantly trying to explain yourself. I aim to create a therapeutic space where both partners feel accepted, understood, and safe to explore their experiences openly.
