Lived Experience

Some people prefer to have a therapist who has lived experience of problems similar to the ones they are facing. If you are one of those people, here is a list of situations I have lived experience with:

I have personal lived experience with:
- Mental illness
- Autism & Neurodiversity
- Disability
- Being a carer for an adult with a disability
- Non-traditional relationships

I have also got close family or friends with the following lived experiences, which have provided me with some additional knowledge (although not to the point of having lived these things myself):
- Being part of the LGBTQIA+ community
- ADHD
- Acquired Brain Injury
- Immigration
