Hiya, I am  Leah. I created Pause counselling as i am neurodivergent myself and felt there was a massive lack of understanding and support. 

I offer counselling to all ages though have a large young person client base. I have created a space to navigate life in a neurotypical led world. 

Within each session I use different creative techniques from colouring in to dancing to games and talk therapy. 

I am not like most people i am quirky so understand that I am not the counsellor for everyone. It has taken years for me to be happy with who i am and my aim is to help you be happier being you just as you are.

One of the most common phrases I hear in my room is 'I think i am a bit much'. That is a phrase that is painful to say and to hear. Neurodivergent people tend to mask their true self as it can be too much for the people around them. This is exhausting. When they are finally able to unmask it doesn't always go down well and can cause stress, embarassment and sometimes physical pain.

I have created space to be yourself, dance, sing, unmask and be you. I also help you find ways of being around people whether at school, home or out and about. Helping you create techniques tailored to you tohelp cope with the scary stuff. 

I currently work in an ASN high school as a school counsellor as well as working privatley from my room at Hamilton Community Stadium.

I am happy to have a chat and see if i am the right person for you. 

I offer afternoon and evening sessions in person and online.

Session cost is £50 

I am most easily contactable through Whatsapp 07934994087 or email pausecounselling@outlook.com

My diary is currently open to new enquieries.
