Support for autistic, ADHD & late‑identified ND women in midlife ~ Online UK
When you realise you may be autistic, ADHD or AuDHD, everything suddenly makes sense...and yet nothing makes sense at all. You may be finding this midlife shift overwhelming, confusing and strangely relieving all at once. You may be exhausted from years of coping, unsure how to move forward, or struggling to understand why everything feels harder now.
I offer a 4 session neuro-affirming support programme 'Navigating Midlife ND' for women who want clarity, regulation, and a sense of themselves again. We explore themes such as:
- sensory processing
- nervous system regulation
- executive functioning
- boundaries in relationships
The programme has been created as a bridge between diagnosis and therapy.
Whether you are already diagnosed, or just curious, we make sense of what’s happening in your mind and body. We explore your needs, patterns, nervous system and identity - helping you feel less overwhelmed, more grounded, and more able to live in a way that feels sustainable and true to who you are.
Beyond the four week programme, Navigating Life is a neuro-affirming practice, providing psychotherapy to support women navigating late-identified neurodivergence, burnout, and peri-menopause.
- relationships shifting
- identity changes
- parenting pressures
- grief
- self-worth
- or simply feeling overwhelmed by the pace and demands of midlife
Your neurodivergence is always honoured and understood, but our work is centred on you; your life, your needs, your values, and what feels supportive right now.

Working With Me
I support autistic, ADHD and AuDHD women in midlife, including those who are late‑identified, burnt out or navigating the impact of peri‑menopause on their neurodivergence. I understand how years of masking, coping and pushing through can take a toll, and how disorientating it can feel when everything that once “worked” suddenly doesn’t. My lived experience informs my work, but doesn’t lead it. I bring a grounded understanding of the sensory, emotional and relational challenges many ND women face, alongside the professional training to support you with clarity, steadiness and respect. My approach is warm, relational and unhurried. While neurodivergence may be part of your story, it isn’t the whole story, and therapy with me doesn’t have to focus on it unless you want it to. Many of the women I work with come because they’re navigating big emotional or life transitions: relationships shifting, burnout, identity changes, parenting pressures, grief, self-worth, or simply feeling overwhelmed by the pace and demands of midlife. Your neurodivergence is always honoured and understood, but our work is centred on you; your life, your needs, your values, and what feels supportive right now. Online sessions take place over Teams.

The Benefits of Online Therapy
Online sessions can be especially supportive if you’re navigating: sensory sensitivities, peri‑menopause fatigue, burnout or overwhelm, parenting demands, limited time or energy Online therapy allows you to: * avoid travel, waiting rooms and sensory unpredictability * regulate your environment (lighting, temperature, movement, comfort) * manage energy more easily * access therapy from anywhere in the UK * feel safe in your own space For many midlife ND women, online work reduces pressure and increases emotional capacity.
Navigating Midlife ND Support
If you’re feeling lost or unsure where to begin with therapy or your own neurodivergence, I also offer the Navigating Midlife ND Support package. This is a four week programme that explores neurodivergent life, such as understanding your ND profile, sensory & nervous system regulation, executive function, relationships and boundaries. Many people find this gives them language, grounding and clarity that make the deeper parts of therapy feel more accessible. The sessions can be weekly, fortnightly or monthly, are 90mins each and the four week package costs £380 (paid before sessions begin - payment can be made in 2 instalments if required).

How do I know if therapy is right for me, and if you are the right therapist?
Whether I’m the right therapist for you depends on how my way of working lands with you. My approach is gentle, steady, and collaborative, with a focus on understanding your ND experience at a pace that feels safe. Some people appreciate the calm structure of the foundations at the beginning; others prefer a more open start. Our introductory call is a relaxed space to get a feel for each other and see whether my style feels supportive for you.

Weekly or fortnightly sessions?
- more time to process - can be less overwhelming
- breathing room to reflect, notice changes or integrate insights between sessions
- you can fit therapy in more easily around other commitments - navigate life between sessions
- can be more affordable
However, I am happy to provide weekly sessions if you feel these would work better for you. Weekly sessions are 50mins, while Fortnightly sessions are a longer 60mins to give us time to settle in after the longer break.
Do you offer evening or weekend appointments?
These are charged at £70 for 50min weekly sessions, and £80 for 60min fortnightly sessions.
My office is closed Sat - Mon.
Is online therapy as effective as in-person?
Sessions take place via a secure video platform, allowing you to access therapy from your own space, without commute time.
You’ll receive a private link before each session; all you need is a stable internet connection and a quiet, confidential space to speak freely.
For ND clients online therapy can be particularly helpful:
- avoids travel and waiting rooms
- reduces sensory overload
- regulate your environment - comfort and privacy
- easier energy management - flexible scheduling
- access to therapy nationally
- the same deep, reflective work as in-person sessions
Sessions are sensory-aware and paced for your comfort, focusing on self-understanding and regulation rather than changing neurodivergent traits.
What might therapy look like & how long will it take?
When you get in touch, I offer a free 20–30 minute phone call or Teams meeting to explore what’s bringing you to therapy and whether we feel like a good fit. I may ask for relevant background information, and your hopes for our work together. You'll have plenty of opportunity to ask questions and get a feel for my approach.
As therapy unfolds through regular weekly or fortnightly sessions, we might talk, reflect, or use creative tools to explore your patterns, boundaries, and sense of self.
As your awareness grows and you begin to implement new insights, we’ll adapt how we work together.
How long will therapy take?
This varies widely depending on your goals and circumstances. I usually suggest we start with 4 - 8 sessions and review it from there. Some people find the clarity and tools they need in just a few sessions, while others benefit from longer-term support. Together, we'll regularly assess your progress and discuss what timeline makes sense for your needs.
When it's time to end therapy, it can be helpful to dedicate one final session together so that we can reflect and bring our work together to a thoughtful close.
Is what I share confidential?
There are a few exceptions to this which I will talk through with you in our initial consultation.
How do I get started?
During this brief chat (20 - 30 min), we'll discuss what brings you to therapy, answer any questions you have, and determine next steps.
I will respond within 48 hours of your request, so if you have not heard from me within that time please check your junk/spam folders in case my reply has dropped into there.
What happens in the intro call?
I will ask some questions about your challenges and how they are impacting you across your life - home, work, relationships, sleep etc. I will take some contact info and make some notes (which are destroyed if we do not go on to work together).
If I think at the end of the call that I can support you, I’ll share that with you and we can discuss how it would work. But, if I feel that I am not the best person to help you I’ll tell you and if I know someone who could help, I’ll point you in their direction instead.

Thank you so much Sarah. You have really helped me know myself better and given me many tools to move forward positively.
