From Heanor it's roughly 10 miles down the A608 / A609 to the Wilson Street clinic in DE1. Clients often combine in-person sessions with online sessions between appointments, particularly during busy weeks.
For neurodivergent, the toolkit here spans neurodivergent-affirming psychotherapy, hypnotherapy for regulation, late-diagnosis identity work. Which combination is used depends entirely on what's presenting in the room — not on a fixed protocol pushed onto every client.
The approach in practice
- Step 1
Consolidate the change
Change has to hold beyond the session. Self-hypnosis, a short practice or a home task keeps it embedded.
- Step 2
Review and adjust
Every few sessions we step back and check the direction — nothing is done to you without your say-so.
- Step 3
Prepare for real life
The final phase rehearses the pattern under normal life stress, so results don't collapse the moment life gets busy.

The layered response many adults feel after a mid-life autism or ADHD diagnosis — mourning missed support, re-reading their history, and rebuilding identity.
Do you work with autistic burnout?+
Yes — it is one of the most common presenting themes.
Do you liaise with an ADHD prescriber?+
On request, yes — with your consent.
Can hypnotherapy help autistic clients?+
