Hi, I’m Vauna. You can see me for online sessions on Zoom, from 10 am to 10 pm (UK time) on weekdays. I specialise in psychotherapy for neurodivergent adults (autism, Aspergers, dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, alexithymia, PDA). I also help people experiencing anxiety, low self-esteem, lack of motivation/performance, difficulties in relationships, workplace issues, and lack of direction. I can also provide coaching for executive functioning improvements (organisation, planning, achievements). You do not need to have a diagnosis of anything. If you feel that you’re different, that’s all that’s needed to know that you are in the right place, with a professional who can understand and work with you to get your life the way that you want it.
