Hi!
My Name is El (They/them), and I have been working with Nerodivergent and LGBTQIA+ people for my whole professional career.
I see Neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ people being repeatedly failed in therapy and mental health support, so I approach things differently.
Creating a supportive, understanding and above all, a uniquely adapted technique for healing is my passion.
Who is El?
I am a Neurodivergent Queer Therapist (they/she), and understand the importance of a welcoming, accepting, and non-judgmental space.
During the course of my training, I have explored and learnt about different aspects of myself, including my late diagnosis as autistic. This has taught me the importance of working with my brain, not against it and that healing and the journey to get there look different for everyone. I am passionate about creating a welcoming and understanding therapy space for people who might not fit the traditional approach to therapy.
​
Equal access to therapy is something I care deeply about, and I feel that reasonable adjustments must be embraced for people with different physical, neurological, and mental needs.
​
In practical terms, this means I am happy to adjust the environment to suit your sensory and/or physical needs and provide accommodations and tools to suit different levels of executive functioning. I welcome different forms of communication, expression, movement, functioning, and feeling. Goals or ideas for what you wish to gain from our time working together will be set in collaboration with you and tuned to your needs.
