Learning about Neurodivergence

Using creative techniques to learn about your neurodivergence. How life looks to you. What you want day to day and how to achieve this.

Hiya, I am Leah. I created Pause counselling as i am neurodivergent myself and felt there was a massive lack of understanding and support.

I offer counselling to all ages though have a large young person client base. I create space to navigate life in a neurotypical led world.

Within the session I use many different techniques from colouring in to dancing to games and talk therapy.

I am not like most people,and I am ok with that. It has taken years to be happy with me and my aim is to help you be happier being you.

One of the most common phrases I hear in my room is 'I think i am a bit much'. That is a phrase that is painful to say and to hear. Neurodivergent people tend to mask their true self as it can be too much for the people around them. Then loose trust in others when they finally unmask and it is not handled well by others.

I create space to be yourself, dance, sing, unmask and be you. I also help you find ways of being around people whether at school, home or out and about. Helping you create techniques to cope with the scary stuff.

I currently work in an ASN high school as a school counsellor as well as working privatley from my room at Hamilton Community Stadium.

I am happy to have a chat and see if i am the right person for you.

I offer afternoon and evening sessions in person and online.

Session cost is £50

I am most easily contactable through Whatsapp 07934994087 or email pausecounselling@outlook.com

My diary is currently open to new enquieries.
