Covid Concerns

If you are concerned about contracting covid for any reason, I will work with you to help make things as safe as possible. This can include working with windows open, even in winter, masking in sessions and regular testing. I am happy to collaborate with you to help you feel safer and more comfortable. 

Mobility Concerns

The location in North Finchley has step-free access and a wheelchair accessible room is available. My Pimlico office has one small step into the building11 steps down to the consulting room with a handrail, however it may be possible to arrange a room upstairs. The Kensington office is up two long flights of stairs with handrail and there is no lift available. If mobility limitations are variable for you, we can work in person or online depending on the needs you have each week. 

Neurodiversity

Whilst I am not a specialist in working with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia or other forms of neurodivergence, I do have professional experience in working with and in context of these issues. As someone who is neurotypical, I try to align with the idea of 'nothing about us, without us', meaning in this context I will follow your lead on what your needs are, centring your lived experience . I would like to work collaboratively to make sure you have what you need to access the space, such as time adjustments, breaks, session reminders, fidget toys, needing to eat or drink in session, or determining what comfortable levels of eye contact might be for you. There will be no shaming, pathologising or expecting you to 'overcome' traits of your difference.

Chronic Illness

I am aware that for many with chronic illness there often needs to be more flexibility. This could be moving between online and in person at short notice, adjustments session appointment times or length of sessions, or taking extra precautions with 'minor' illnesses like colds.
