This is a space where you can feel understood, explore personal growth, and reconnect with a sense of self that feels authentic and meaningful.

Neurodivergent Therapy: Support for ADHD, Autism and Personal Growth

Living in a world that doesn’t always understand neurodivergence can feel lonely and overwhelming. At Becoming Yourself Counselling, we see and celebrate the beauty in the way you think, feel, and experience the world. Here, you’re not just accepted, you’re valued for who you are. Whether you’re exploring a new diagnosis, seeking clarity about your identity, or learning to thrive authentically, we’re here to support you every step of the way.

Common Areas of Focus:

• Overcoming Masking to Embrace Authenticity: Hiding your true self to meet societal expectations can be emotionally exhausting. We’ll explore the impact of masking and help you safely unmask, embrace authenticity, and celebrate the unique individual you are.

• Managing Rejection Sensitivity and Cultivating Emotional Balance: Intense reactions to rejection or criticism can affect relationships and self-esteem. We’ll work together to develop tools that help you regulate these emotions, build resilience, and approach challenges with greater confidence.

• Improving Executive Functioning and Reducing Daily Stress: Struggles with organization, follow-through, or decision-making can feel overwhelming. We’ll create practical strategies tailored to your needs to help reduce stress and restore balance in your daily life.

• Letting Go of “Shoulds” to Live Authentically: The pressure to meet societal or self-imposed expectations can lead to stress and self-doubt. We’ll unpack these “shoulds,” helping you align your goals with your authentic values and create a life that feels true to you.

The neurodivergent journey is as diverse and unique as the individuals who live it. Therapy is a collaborative process that helps you feel empowered, supported, and equipped to navigate life’s challenges while embracing your authentic self.

At Becoming Yourself Counselling, these four values guide everything we do:

1

Acceptance

In a world that often asks us to change or conform, it’s easy to feel like we’re not enough. Here, your individuality isn’t just accepted - it’s celebrated as a strength. Acceptance means embracing where you are right now while creating space for growth. We’ll work to honour your strengths, validate your struggles, and help you reconnect with your authentic self.

2

Understanding

We understand how lonely it can feel when your struggles are misunderstood or dismissed. That’s why we take the time to truly listen to your story - because your experiences matter. That’s why we take the time to understand your experiences and the challenges you face. We’ll explore your story with curiosity and compassion, helping you feel valued, validated, and deeply seen for who you are.

 

3

Nonjudgmental

It’s natural to worry about being judged for your feelings or choices. In this space, every part of your story is welcome, and you’ll be met with kindness, not criticism. In therapy, every part of your journey is welcome, without judgment or criticism. This space allows you to freely express yourself and explore your experiences, knowing you’ll be met with kindness and acceptance.

4

Compassion

When life feels overwhelming, it’s easy to turn that frustration inward. Together, we’ll replace self-criticism with kindness, creating the safety you need to heal and move forward with strength. We bring compassion into every session, helping you soften self-criticism and replace it with kindness and care. Compassion helps create the safety you need to heal, grow, and move forward with strength and clarity.
