Uniquely Wired A safe space to explore, support and celebrate Neurodiversity. Breaking down STIGMA and MYTHS I also work with parents who are struggling.

I am a qualified and experienced Substance Misuse Specialist and Life Coach. I offer a therapeutic and confidential space to explore and support you with a range of mental health issues. This includes exploring the limitations that your past experiences/traumas have on your current quality of life, to providing coaching to help you to implement goals and strategies into your life if you are feeling stuck and unfulfilled. I can work collaboratively with you to help you to overcome anxious thinking pattens, build confidence and self-esteem, improve relationships, reduce substance misuse or work towards abstinence and I have a special interest in Neurodiversity and Sensory Processing Disorder. I can support you with exploring diagnosis, accessing services, understanding and managing symptoms and help you to set goals that will stop life from feeling so overwhelming. I will work with the family together to help you to improve understanding between parents and their children and help to set healthy boundaries and improve communication. All services are provided via Phone call, Zoom or in person if you are in Plymouth. Please contact me via text, call, email or messenger to arrange a good time to have a chat and see if I can support you.

I have realised something recently.

I talk on this page pretty much exactly as I talk to my clients…

Except I keep removing all the swear words 😂

And I don’t actually know why.

If you have ever worked with me, you will know I’m warm, professional, hopefully quite knowledgeable…

And I also swear. Quite a “FKN” lot 😂

Sometimes “executive dysfunction can make completing everyday tasks difficult” is absolutely the right explanation.

And sometimes...

“ADHD can make getting the simplest fu***ng thing done feel ridiculously hard”

just hits differently 😂

I have always been really conscious of keeping my business page “professional”, but the older I get, the more I realise that professional doesn’t have to mean polished, corporate or completely sanitised.

My clients don’t get Corporate Sally.

They get me.

And actually, I think that’s part of why the work works.

So I’m not suddenly going to start dropping the C-bomb into every educational post 😂

But I am going to stop editing my natural voice quite so much.

If the occasional fkn, 💩 or BLLCKS helps me explain the reality of living with a neurodivergent brain...

It’s staying in 😂💜

Consider yourselves warned.

NEURODIVERSITY & HEALTHCARE 👇

“But what if it IS just my anxiety?”

This is something I hear a lot.

Particularly from people who have spent years questioning themselves.

You notice something happening in your body.

Then your brain starts:

Am I overreacting?

Is everyone this tired?

Maybe I’m just anxious.

What if I go to the doctor and there’s nothing wrong?

They’re going to think I’m being dramatic.

So you wait.

And wait.

And Google.

And ask someone else what they think.

And convince yourself you’re probably fine.

Then worry about it again tomorrow. 😩

Here’s something important to remember:

Anxiety can cause very real physical symptoms. But having anxiety doesn’t mean every physical symptom you experience is caused by anxiety.

You don’t have to work out the cause before you’re “allowed” to ask for help.

That’s what the appointment is for.

Instead of asking yourself:

“Am I overreacting?”

Try:

“Has something changed for me, and is it affecting my life?”

If the answer is yes, it’s reasonable to talk to someone about it.

You don’t need to arrive with a diagnosis.

You just need to describe what’s happening 💜

Why can’t I explain what’s wrong when I KNOW something isn’t right?

Have you ever waited weeks for a doctor’s appointment, knowing exactly what you wanted to talk about…

…and then the doctor asks, “So, what can I help you with?”

And suddenly you can’t explain any of it.

This can be particularly difficult when you’re neurodivergent.

You might struggle to put events into chronological order.

You might remember ten things at once and jump between them.

You might completely forget symptoms you’ve been experiencing every day for months.

You might struggle to describe a sensation in your body because you know it feels wrong, but you don’t have the words for what “wrong” actually feels like.

Or you might talk A LOT because you’re desperately trying to give enough context to make the other person understand.

Then you leave and think:

“WHY DIDN’T I TELL THEM THAT?!”

None of this means you’re making things up or that you don’t understand your own body.

Your brain may simply find it difficult to retrieve, organise and communicate information on demand.

Something that can help:

Before an appointment, write down:
👉 What has changed?
👉 When did you first notice it?
👉 How often is it happening?
👉 How is it affecting your everyday life?
👉 What are you most worried about?
👉 What do you want help with today?

And take the notes in with you.

You don’t get extra points for remembering everything from memory.

Making healthcare more accessible for yourself isn’t cheating.

It’s accommodating your brain.

LET’S TALK ABOUT WOMEN’S HEALTH 🫶

I am going to be doing a little series of posts around women’s health, neurodiversity and advocating for yourself.

Because getting answers about your own body can sometimes feel harder than it should.

Symptoms can be dismissed. Different professionals can give different opinions. And somewhere along the way, you can start questioning yourself:

Am I overreacting? Am I being dramatic? Should I just leave it?

For neurodivergent women, navigating appointments and communicating what’s happening can bring another layer of difficulty too.

So this series is going to explore some of those conversations, from understanding your symptoms and asking better questions, to navigating healthcare as a neurodivergent woman and feeling more confident advocating for yourself.

You deserve to understand your own health.

And you’re allowed to ask questions. ❤️

Is this a topic that would be useful to you?

YOUR BODY ISN’T “DRAMATIC”. YOU’RE ALLOWED TO ASK WHY ❤️

I’ve been supporting a friend through some health issues recently, and it’s really got me thinking about how bloody hard it can be for women to get answers about their own bodies.

The uncertainty, the conflicting opinions, the self-doubt… and that worry that you’re somehow being “too much” for asking questions.

But advocating for yourself isn’t being dramatic. You know your body, you know when something has changed, and you deserve to feel heard.

Swipe through the carousel, this one is worth reading ❤️

What’s one thing you wish you’d felt more confident asking in a healthcare appointment?

Today is ***dePreventionDay 💛

Su***de prevention can look different for everyone.

It can mean asking for help, finding the right support, connecting with others, understanding your mental health, finding purpose, taking medication, accessing therapy, or simply having someone who listens.

There is no single route through difficult times, and you don’t have to navigate them alone.

If you are struggling, please reach out. Talk to someone you trust, contact a support service, or seek professional help.

You matter.
Your life matters.
And there is always support available.

September is a transition, and transitions aren’t always smooth.

When routines, expectations, environments and seasons change, our brains and bodies need time to catch up.

So if things feel harder right now, maybe you’re not ‘out of routine’.

Maybe you’re simply in transition 🍂

September is a transition.

And transitions aren’t always smooth!

We often think about this time of year as simply “back to school” or “summer is over” - but our brains and bodies are dealing with far more change than that.

The light is changing.
The temperature is changing.
Routines are changing.
Expectations are changing.
Children are returning to school.
Work gets busier.
Even the clothes we wear and the food we reach for begin to change.

For many autistic and ADHD people, these seemingly small shifts can add up.

You might notice more anxiety. More irritability. Difficulty sleeping. Exhaustion. Sensory sensitivities becoming louder. A need for more control or predictability. Or simply a vague feeling of being “off” without really knowing why.

And for SEN children returning to school, the transition can be enormous.

So perhaps September doesn’t need to be about immediately getting everyone “back into routine”.

Maybe the first job is simply recognising:

We’re in transition.

Give the nervous system a little time to catch up.

Over the next few posts I’m going to explore transitions - school, anxiety, sleep, sensory overwhelm, neurodivergent children, overwhelmed parents and our own wellbeing as we move from summer into autumn.

Because sometimes understanding why things suddenly feel harder changes how we respond to them 🍂
