Hi, I'm Rebecca.

I am a neurodivergent (AuDHD) counsellor/therapist/clinical supervisor, neurodiversity consultant, and a co-author of ‘On Being an Autistic Therapist’.

I am also the creator of the annual Adult Autism/ADHD/AuDHD Information and support event in Hereford and have lived experience of multiple chronic illnesses (ME/CFS, Fibromyalgia and PoTS).

I am BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy) registered and fully insured.

In 2021, I became a CTAA (Complimentary Therapists Accredited Association) Accredited Strategic Life Coach and TFT/EFT (Thought Field Therapy/Emotional Freedom Technique) and hypnotherapy practitioner.
