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."

You’re familiar with the idea of integrating all your different aspects, whether you call them body, mind, and soul, or head, heart and intuition, or any other combination. But do you know about integrating all the different aspects of your intelligence? Bringing your multiple intelligences together, for a more holistic...
There was a knock at my door. It was revision season for first-year exams, and I was at my desk leafing through my notes and worked examples. I opened the door to find Mel standing there. “Do you have a moment?” he asked. He came in, settling down into a...
You’re intelligent, but anxious. You have a quick mind, a lively mind. An agile mind that jumps and leaps between connections, creates new ideas, executes them and pirouettes in dazzling glory. A mind that worries you senseless with thoughts about how many ways you can a) die on your way...
A couple of weeks ago, I asked one of my academic and openly skeptical/critical friends to play devil’s advocate with me. It’s a dangerous game, and one that I thoroughly recommend if you want to test your ideas out! In the course of our conversation, one line of questioning in...
A question I’m often asked is about how I reconcile a training in science with my trust and confidence in intuition. Let’s see. Science is the body of knowledge collected thus far through the scientific method of noticing things, coming up with an idea of how they work, testing them,...
