Online sessions, daytime and evening. I'm Vauna, an autistic ADHD psychotherapist with 25 years of experience and a multitude of qualifications and accomplishements.
I work solely with neurodivergent people these days the past 6 years and I train and support other therapists as well as creating publications and broadcasts on understanding neurodivergent people and the therapy that is beneficial.
This triple perspective shapes everything about how I work and what I can offer you. In our sessions, we'll work collaboratively, and explore at your pace. I don't sit back silently β I'm engaged and interactive as we talk together. My approach combines deep listening with also offering practical insights. I do draw from multiple therapeutic traditions, while always staying grounded in the fundamental reality of us being two adult people who are meeting because we are very invested in you having a better experience of yourself and of your life.
I understand that if you're seeking therapy, there could be some caution about entering into it. Perhaps you've tried therapy before and found that the therapist was a person of good intention, with all of the right qualities, and yet you realised afterwarfds it may have been of limited benefit for you.
Traditional therapy models don't account for neurodivergent people. What could look like the cause of a "problem" might actually be a natural and valid way of being that isn't problematic caude and effect of problems can be evaluated accurately.
