Iām Abbey. I have a diagnosis of AuDHD (thatās Autism + ADHD combined), which means i am extra spicy, so I know what itās like when your brain doesnāt quite fit the āstandard settingsā! Like many counsellors, my path started from my own experience of struggling with mental health. When was diagnosed as neurodivergent at the age of 30, it felt like someone had finally handed me the manual to my ow
n head. It cracked me wide open, revealing years of guilt, shame, and those exhausting 'why am I like this?' moments. Iāve been through it all the tears, the years of masking just to fit in, and the slow process of unmasking and rebuilding myself time and time again. I don't just 'get it' from a textbook; I get it because Iāve lived it, and I know exactly how much courage it takes to start figuring out who you really are underneath it all." My journey has been messy, chaotic, beautiful, and at times, i felt completely overwhelmed. But hereās the plot twist: learning how my brain actually works changed everything. Having the right therapist back then helped me rebuild my sense of self, and thatās what inspired me to want to do the same for others. āI am a bubbly, straight-talking, person-centred counsellor, passionate about helping people untangle lifeās messy moments and reconnect with their true selves. āWhether youāre neurodivergent, figuring things out, or just trying to make sense of a chaotic world we live in, youāll find no judgment here, just empathy, compassion, and a dash of my Scouse humour. I offer a calm, supportive, confidential space where you can explore whateverās going on for you: anxiety, depression, burnout, shame, guilt, grief, identity, or even that ālostā feeling you canāt quite name. Weāll work at your pace, because therapy isnāt one size fits all itās about finding what works for you. Iām big on building a relationship based on respect, honesty, and authenticity. Thatās our foundation, and itās what helps you feel comfortable opening up... and probably having a bit of a laugh along the way!"
