Support for Every Chapter of Family Life – Especially Neurodiverse Ones
You don’t have to face it alone. I’m Julie, a counsellor offering a safe, understanding space where you can breathe, be heard, and begin to heal—especially if neurodiversity is part of your family’s story.
Based in Cheltenham, I offer specialist counselling with heart. Whether you're navigating the ups and downs of family life, parenting a neurodiverse child, caring for a loved one, or facing your own emotional struggles—I’m here to help.
With years of experience and a personal understanding of neurodiversity, I provide a warm, down-to-earth, and supportive space for individuals, couples, and families. My approach is always tailored to you.
Who I Work With
I offer counselling support for:
Neurodiverse families, including Autism and ADHD
Parents and carers of children with additional needs or disabilities
Individuals experiencing stress, anxiety, or low self-esteem
Couples facing communication or relationship challenges
Teenagers navigating school, family, or identity issues
A Counsellor Who Truly Understands
I bring not just professional expertise—but lived experience of parenting neurodiverse adult children and being in a caring role. If you're feeling isolated, unheard, or emotionally drained, you’re not alone.
Together, we can explore what’s going on and find gentle, practical ways forward that feel right for you.
Specialist Counselling for Neurodiverse Families & Carers
Living with the impact of disability, neurodiversity, or long-term health conditions can feel overwhelming. As both a parent and professional with lived experience, I truly understand the emotional toll this can take.
You might feel exhausted, unheard, or unsure where to turn. Asking for help can be daunting—especially when you’re already running on empty.
You're not alone. I offer a calm, compassionate space where you can:
Be heard without judgement
Explore your emotions
Rebuild confidence
Find ways forward—together
Let’s Talk...
