Support for neurodivergent adults and young people struggling with food, overwhelm and self-worth

Hello and welcome! 

If you’re exhausted from masking, people-pleasing, perfectionism or battling with food, therapy can help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface and find a kinder way forward.

You may recognise yourself here…

  • You know what needs to happen but struggle to make it happen consistently.
  • Food has become comfort, distraction, reward or punishment.
  • You’re constantly adapting to other people’s needs whilst neglecting your own.
  • You’re exhausted from trying to keep up.
  • You wonder why life feels harder than it seems to for everyone else.


My name is Henrietta (Henri for short), and I’m a dedicated and compassionate counsellor based in Summertown, Oxford, and working remotely across the UK.   

As a neurodiversity-affirming therapist, I value the beautiful differences that make each person unique. My approach is strengths-based and collaborative.  I don’t aim to fix or cure, but to help you understand yourself more deeply and live in a way that feels more aligned and authentic to you.

I’m LGBTQIA+ affirming and work to provide a safe and supportive space for all identities.

What might have brought you here...

Could it be one or more of the following?

  • Your thoughts are constantly racing, making it hard to focus or switch off

  • You feel stuck in cycles of stress, anxiety, and burnout

  • You procrastinate or avoid tasks due to overwhelm or fear of failure

  • You use food, substances, or distractions to cope with emotions

  • You struggle with boundaries, people-pleasing, or perfectionism

  • You feel disconnected, self-critical, or not good enough

  • You have a difficult relationship with food and/or your body


If so, it might help to talk to someone who is both compassionate and non-judgemental about your particular situation.

It is important that you find a therapist that is a good fit for you, if that’s not me, I’ll endeavour to offer you other recommendations..

Nothing binds you except your thoughts;
nothing limits you except your fear;
and nothing controls you except your beliefs
