My Approach:

My approach at Sunflower Psychology Services is built around a few key principles:

• Neurodiversity-affirming: Neurodiversity is welcomed and celebrated. Every person experiences the world in their own way — and those differences are respected.

• Strengths-based: The focus is on what’s already working, building on abilities while supporting areas that are challenging. Each person’s strengths and needs are considered with care, and support is provided in ways that feel safe, validating, and empowering.

• Collaborative: Work is done closely with parents, carers, educators, and workplaces, providing practical guidance and strategies to create supportive environments. The aim is to build confidence, understanding, and support for those walking alongside neurodivergent individuals.

• Flexible communication & sensory-aware: Sessions are adapted to preferred communication styles — talking, writing, visuals, AAC, and more — and sensory needs are always considered. Adjustments to lighting, sound, and the environment create a calm, comfortable space for everyone.

• Evidence-informed: Research-based strategies, tailored to individual strengths and needs, are used to help each person thrive.

  Above all, my goal is to create a safe, supportive, and welcoming space where people can be their authentic selves, feel understood, embrace their strengths, and move forward with confidence — knowing they are supported every step of the way.
