Counselling for mothers of neurodivergent adult daughters (autistic, ADHD or AuDHD).
Learning that your adult daughter is neurodivergent can raise unexpected questions about the past, your relationship, and your own experience of it.
Online from Oxford · £45 per session
This space is for mothers whose daughters identify as autistic, ADHD or AuDHD, whether they have received a diagnosis or not.
The past does not change, but your understanding of it might. School reports, family stories and memories can take on a different meaning.
There is rarely just one emotion.
Some thoughts can be difficult to put into words. Others may feel impossible to share with friends, family, or even with your daughter.
You might find yourself looking back differently, questioning old assumptions, or wondering what this means for you as her mum.
Whatever brought you here, you are welcome.
You send me a message with a few words about what you are looking for.
We talk about what has brought you here and whether working together feels right.
If it does, we arrange weekly online sessions.
You were mothering in a world that did not yet have the words. Together we look back at your history with care, not blame.
Understanding your daughter's experience can mean understanding yourself differently too. Two generations of women finding words for things that never quite fitted before.
Her new identity may not be about you, but it has affected you. This is space to think about your relationship with her, your experience as a mother, and what comes next.
Fifty minutes · Weekly or fortnightly · Online from Oxford
You don't need to arrive with a clear story.
Thoughts unfold. Patterns begin to emerge.
Together we'll explore whatever matters, at a pace that allows understanding to grow.

Trainee Transactional Analysis Counsellor
Much of this work has grown from my own experience as a mother.
When my own family went through this, I noticed how little space there was for mothers to think through what they were carrying. That is what shaped this work.
I am careful to speak about my experience rather than my daughter’s. Her story belongs to her. What I can talk about is what it is like to look at the past differently, to make sense of new information, and to find yourself part of a story that is not about you.
I am training as a counsellor in Transactional Analysis, a relational approach to understanding the patterns we carry in close relationships. I am working towards CTA (Certified Transactional Analyst) in the counselling field. I have regular clinical supervision, ongoing personal therapy and continuing professional development.
Before counselling, I spent over twenty years as a manager in the NHS, working in learning, development, facilitation and supporting people through change.
The story may not be about you. But you are still in it.
Our conversations are confidential. I work within the ethical standards of Transactional Analysis training and practice, and I attend regular clinical supervision where client material is discussed anonymously.
The few exceptions are the standard ones: a serious risk of harm to you or another person, or a legal requirement to disclose. I would always speak with you first.
I keep brief notes securely and use them only to support the work. Your data is handled in line with UK GDPR.
Send me your name, your email, and a sentence about where you are. I read every message myself and reply within three working days.
