About
A Therapist Who Understands Difference
I am a white Irish middle-aged male. I am the taller end of medium height, and of medium build, with short greying hair.
I am neuro-divergent, and while I hesitate to appropriate identities, I am comfortable saying that I have many of the traits typically associated with autism, ADHD and OCD; and I have prosopagnosia.
I may have mild to moderate impairment of sensory functions such as equilibrioception, proprioception, interoception, kinaesthesia and nociception. I am moderately hypersensitive to social interaction, preferring quiet one-to-one conversations, or small groups.
My stims are leg movement, and repeatedly (internally, silently) singing small fragments of song lyrics on loop, ad infinitum. I have hearing loss and use hearing aids, but I might have audio-processing disorder as well.
Being neurodivergent, I welcome all clients, be they neurodivergent or neurotypical, whether medically or self-diagnosed. I seek to provide a safe and calm environment to the best of my ability.
If you feel that my approach resonates with you, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
