Mary George

Are you looking for therapy where you can be authentically yourself and feel genuinely understood? Has a fear of judgment or being misunderstood by others held you back from getting the support you need? I am a neurodiversity-affirming therapist with a special interest in working with clients who have ADHD, are autistic, or are exploring whether they might be neurodivergent. If this sounds like you, and you're considering therapy, I'd love to hear from you. I offer a free, online initial session where you can find out more and we can explore whether I'm the right therapist for you.

Whatever you're going through, therapy is a space to explore, process, and understand your feelings and experiences. You might be autistic, have ADHD, or perhaps you are exploring whether you might be neurodivergent and want to unpack what that means for you. Neurodiversity shapes how a person experiences the world, bringing gifts as well as challenges. As a neurodivergent therapist, I know first-hand the importance of talking to someone who gets it. 

I provide psychodynamic therapy, which means that in our sessions I can help you to explore how past life experiences and relationships shape your life today. Therapy is completely confidential and you can talk about anything and everything - whether that's something you're currently going through, experiences you've had in the past, or feelings and anxieties about the future. As a neurodiversity-affirming therapist, I understand how neurodivergence interacts with different parts of life and we can explore how your experience of being neurodivergent plays a part in the issues you'd like to talk about in therapy.

You can be your full, authentic self in our sessions, and this means that all communication styles and ways of self-regulating are equally valid and welcome in therapy sessions. For example, it's completely okay to stim and fidget during therapy sessions if you want to, and there's no pressure to make eye contact if that feels uncomfortable for you. We can talk about any anxieties or concerns you might have about coming to therapy and adapt the way we work to make it a comfortable and engaging experience for you.

I provide both short-term and long-term psychodynamic therapy, either online or in person in Brighton & Hove. Online sessions are on Zoom, and can be either video calls or audio-only calls. I offer a free initial session on Zoom, where we can discuss what you would like to explore in therapy and talk through any questions you have. Accessibility requirements can be discussed in the introductory call.
