I came to Supportive Counselling Ltd looking for support with ADHD, overwhelm and emotional regulation. From the first session, I felt genuinely understood and never judged. The neuro-affirming approach made a huge difference and helped me understand myself in a completely different way. I now feel more confident managing day-to-day challenges and have a better understanding of how ADHD affects me. I would highly recommend Supportive Counselling Ltd to anyone looking for ADHD therapy or neurodivergent counselling in York.

Kat is a patient, kind and sympathetic counsellor with a specialism in neurodiversity, who takes the time to listen to you about a particular aspect of your life that might need more support. I highly recommend her if you are a neurodiverse person looking for post-diagnostic support, or are navigating a particular challenging part of your life. She offers affirming and practical advice, and each session is tailored to your needs. Thanks so much, Kat.

Kat was so easy to talk to, asking questions that led to helpful consideration of the problems I was going through at the time, and in particular helping me to see small steps to move forward. I have no hesitation in recommending her.

Kat is wonderful! We're so glad to have found her as she has been an incredible support to our teenage, AuDHD son who had been struggling with the pressure and overstimulation of secondary school, and then his first year of college. Kat's sessions have been transformational for him. The connection and psychological safety she's created for him (away from the familiarity of home) to release his thoughts, and the coping mechanisms she's equipped him with have enabled him to embrace his individuality and build his confidence to a level that makes me very emotional. His spark is coming back! We're so happy to see him laughing again and talking about his personal challenges without feeling suffocated by them. Another thing we're grateful for is Kat's wider family support and generosity with her time, providing statements for our son's EHCP review and PIP award appeals. We would recommend Kat in a heartbeat!

The impact that Kat has had on my life through our weekly sessions has been life changing. Kat is calm, kind, compassionate, and completely person centered, which has made me feel safe and understood in ways I have never experienced before. I am confident that anyone that has the opportunity to work with Kat, will share my same sentiments. Thank you for all you do, Kat.
