Late-diagnosed Autism & ADHD | Menopause & Neurodivergence | Trauma-Informed, Neuro-Affirming Counselling
About me
Hello, I’m Carol.
You might be here because something doesn’t feel sustainable anymore.
Perhaps you’re exhausted from masking.
Struggling at work but not sure why.
Navigating menopause and suddenly everything feels harder.
Processing the impact of domestic abuse.
Or making sense of a late autism or ADHD diagnosis and wondering, “Who am I underneath all of this?”
I offer a warm, steady, non-judgemental space where you don’t have to explain or justify yourself. My work is person-centred, trauma-informed and neuro-affirming — which means we go at your pace, with compassion and respect for your nervous system and lived experience.
I particularly support:
Late-diagnosed or self-identifying Autistic and ADHD adults
People experiencing burnout, overwhelm, or workplace difficulties
Women navigating menopause alongside neurodivergence
Survivors of domestic abuse
Those living with trauma, PTSD, or intrusive memories
As someone who understands neurodivergence both professionally and personally, I recognise how invisible and misunderstood these experiences can be — especially for women and those diagnosed later in life. Therapy can be a place to unmask safely, explore identity, and rebuild self-trust.
You don’t need to have the right words. You don’t need to have it all figured out. We start where you are.
Trauma Support & The Rewind Technique
For clients affected by trauma or PTSD, I offer the Rewind Technique — a gentle, non-intrusive approach that can reduce the emotional intensity of traumatic memories without requiring you to retell or relive events in detail. Many people find this particularly helpful if they experience flashbacks or feel stuck in past experiences.
Sessions
I work with adults (18+) and offer:
In-person sessions in Morley, Leeds (LS27) – Monday, Tuesday & Thursday evenings, Saturday afternoons
Online sessions
If you’re looking for therapy that is compassionate, collaborative, and affirming of who you truly are, I’d be very welcome to hear from you.
