1:1 support for gifted, autistic, and ADHD people
(or those who think they might be)
I’m a gifted, super highly sensitive, self-dx autistic/ADHD-brained 40-something, living in Cambridge, UK, with a child, a penchant for pancakes, and a garden.
I’ve trained my brain in physics (Cambridge University, no less), Buddhist approaches to psychology and meditation, environmental sciences (Dr Sue, thank you), education (PGCE – high school maths teaching), fundraising (why not?), and a whole heap of peopley things (details here).
I speak native English, acquired Dutch, very rusty French, and play piano and clarinet.
All testimonials given here are direct quotes from individual clients, anonymised for confidentiality.
"To begin with, when I was thinking whom to contact for help, I have chosen you primarily because of your technical background, degrees in Physics at top universities, etc. I thought that I was stuck so to say on a professional level and the person with an education similar to mine would be able to understand my issues better. I did not expect to meet a person who would challenge me on an energetic level and on the childhood trauma I thought was already healed. It’s so incredible that you have done this and I feel that you have really hit the main point. I cannot express enough my gratitude to you!"

"I was looking for a therapist who was also gifted. I was feeling stuck and couldn’t get out of my own way. Your intuitive insights and ability to relate to and understand me helped me identify and release things I was unaware of.
You were able to connect with me easily and I really felt you understood me and where I was coming from. You also left me with some solid advice for next steps and helped me learn to listen deeper to myself to find where my feelings were showing up in my body.
Absolutely would recommend. 5 stars. Sue has a knack for sensing energies and intuitively picking up where someone else is stuck. This allowed me to trust what I was sensing when she guided me with confidence and certainty. Turns out having someone familiar with the ways I could hide from or avoid what I was feeling is a really smart way to get past my own defenses. She is kind, clever, and spot on with her intuition."

"I felt that you understood what someone was experiencing and could put those experiences into simple words that the feelings could attach to.
In our sessions, I felt that you could hear what I was experiencing and that you gave me good advice on how to see myself and help me feel out what I wanted to about work stress I was going through.
I felt that you understood some of the challenges of a neurodiverse family that no other therapist has ever been able to understand."

Let’s guess. Four important things about intelligence. IQ? Tests? Exam results? Beards? Nope, none of the above. Although these might be the first things that come to mind, the keys to understanding intelligence are nothing to do with IQ, tests or exam results. And beards certainly aren’t mandatory. Here’s my...
“Oh my God, you’re just so intense!” “You’re too full on!” “Enough already, can’t you tone it down?!” “Take it easy, you’ll give yourself a heart attack!” Recognise this? You probably have a lot of energy, and you channel it into things, intensely. You’ve always felt different to other...
Have you ever noticed how it’s very often the most insensitive people who are the most sensitive? How they can be insensitive to others feelings but are really sensitive themselves? Well it may not come as a surprise that the two go together. When you’re sensitive, there’s sometimes just too...
Our deepest, highest self is who we are at our fullest, most magnificent, most energetic and fulfilled. And it’s the job of our emotional and intuitive guidance systems to keep us as closely aligned as possible with that deepest, highest self. Emotions shows us in each moment where we want...
For a long time, I saw my mind as an obstacle. An obstacle that got between me and friends. It hurt. Maybe it began when, in efforts to console and reassure me, my folks told me that the other girls at school were jealous that I was so bright, that’s...
We all know someone – it might even be us – who’s super-bright, knows all sorts of stuff, is fast to process information and create new solutions – in short, is fairly genius, but who is hopelessly lost when it comes to anything emotional. If somebody else is upset –...
