Therapy Services
I provide specialist neuro-affirming private emotional regulation therapy for neurodiverse children, teenagers and adults. Focussing on those who are in neurodiverse burnout, those who feel that they are unable to attend school or work, those with or recovering from eating disorders and those experiencing periods of self-harm or suicidal ideation.
There is extensive research to show that neurodiverse people are more likely to experience periods of anxiety, depression, self harm or suicidal ideation in their lives.
Emotional regulation therapy is a mindfulness based therapy that aims to help neurodiverse children, teenagers and adults to differentiate, identify and describe all of their emotions, even in their most intense form. I work with my clients to identify tools which assist them in regulating during periods of intense feelings, overwhelm and burnout.
My clients can avail of their therapy appointments either in our homely and supportive therapy room or walking through the beautiful and calming forests of Forth Mountain.
Walking therapy is an effective way of providing EMDR therapy to clients whilst also removing the awkwardness of sitting in a room trying to discuss trauma and intense feelings. The forest paths provide a soft, calming and therapeutic experience to the neurodiverse mind, helping clients to feel more relaxed and open to discuss their emotions and fears.
