At Hope Harbour Therapy, I offer specialist counselling for neurodivergent adults, including those with ADHD and autism. My approach is tailored to your individual needs, helping you explore your experiences, build understanding, and develop strategies to support everyday life.

Therapy offers a safe, supportive space where we can work together on areas such as:

• Emotional Regulation: Understanding and managing emotions, overwhelm, or sensory stress.

• Self-Acceptance: Exploring identity and embracing your neurodivergence with compassion.

• Practical Strategies: Developing tools for focus, organisation, communication, and managing daily challenges.

• Relationships and Connection: Navigating social situations, boundaries, and self-expression.

• Complex Trauma and Mental Health: Supporting co-occurring challenges such as anxiety, depression, or past trauma.

Drawing on an integrative approach, I combine evidence-based therapies such as CBT, psychodynamic, and person-centred techniques with creative and neuro-affirming methods.

My aim is to provide a compassionate, inclusive environment where you can feel understood, build confidence, and thrive authentically as yourself.

Grief counselling provides a supportive space to help you navigate the emotional, mental, and physical impact of loss. While this often relates to the death of a loved one, grief can also arise from relationship changes, job loss, or major life transitions.

Through counselling, you can begin to make sense of your experience, process painful emotions, and find ways to adapt to life after loss.

How grief counselling can help:

• Understanding Grief: Explore the complex emotions that come with loss — sadness, anger, guilt, or confusion — and understand that your grief is unique to you.

• Emotional Support: Share your feelings in a safe, non-judgemental space where you’re heard and supported.

• Coping and Healing: Learn strategies to manage the intensity of grief and begin to find balance in daily life.

• Processing and Acceptance: Work through unresolved feelings and move towards acceptance at your own pace.

• Honouring and Remembering: Discover personal ways to remember and honour what you’ve lost while moving forward with meaning.

Grief counselling at Hope Harbour Therapy is about helping you feel supported through one of life’s most difficult experiences — finding comfort, strength, and hope as you adjust to a new chapter.

At Hope Harbour Therapy, I offer specialised trauma counselling for those recovering from both single-event trauma and Complex PTSD (CPTSD). Traumatic experiences — whether from abuse, neglect, accidents, loss, or ongoing difficult environments — can deeply affect how we think, feel, and relate to the world. Therapy provides a safe, supportive space to begin understanding and healing from these experiences.

How trauma counselling can help:

• Safety and Trust: Creating a calm, secure environment is the foundation of our work. You set the pace, ensuring that you feel safe and in control throughout the process.

• Understanding Trauma: Together we’ll explore how trauma impacts the mind and body — including symptoms like flashbacks, anxiety, dissociation, and emotional overwhelm — helping you make sense of your reactions.

• Processing and Integration: Using an integrative approach, we’ll gently work through traumatic memories, helping you to reduce their intensity and find new meaning in your story.

• Coping and Regulation: I’ll support you in developing grounding techniques, emotional regulation tools, and self-care strategies to manage triggers and regain stability.

• Rebuilding and Empowerment: As therapy progresses, we’ll focus on rebuilding confidence, trust, and connection — supporting you to move from surviving to living more fully.

Drawing from humanistic, psychodynamic, CBT, and trauma-informed approaches, I tailor therapy to your unique experiences and needs. My aim is to provide compassionate, steady support as you heal, reconnect with yourself, and rebuild a sense of safety and empowerment.

Domestic abuse therapy offers specialist support for individuals who have experienced or are currently experiencing abuse. At Hope Harbour Therapy, I provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space to explore your experiences and the lasting impact of abuse on your life.

Therapy focuses on understanding the dynamics of abuse, rebuilding self-worth, and developing healthy coping strategies. My aim is to help you feel empowered to reconnect with your sense of identity and move towards a life free from fear and control.

Working from a trauma-informed, integrative approach, sessions are tailored to your individual pace and needs — whether you’re processing past experiences, navigating current challenges, or seeking to build healthier relationships in the future.

You deserve to feel safe, valued, and supported. Together, we can work towards healing, recovery, and rediscovering your strength and independence.

At Hope Harbour Therapy, I offer a range of alternative therapies designed to complement traditional counselling and support holistic wellbeing. These approaches focus on the connection between mind, body, and emotions, encouraging balance and inner harmony.

My offerings include practices such as mindfulness, meditation, and gentle movement-based techniques. Each session is tailored to help you manage stress, improve emotional regulation, and enhance overall quality of life.

Alternative therapies provide a calming, integrative way to support healing — helping you reconnect with yourself, find stillness, and promote lasting wellbeing. Together, we’ll explore approaches that align with your individual needs and personal journey towards wellness.
