Specialities

You may be experiencing overwhelm, burnout, self-doubt, relationship difficulties, identity questions, neurodivergence or the impact of feeling misunderstood.​

​

If you are looking for a space to make sense of what is happening, process difficult experiences and explore ways forward that feel more manageable, sustainable and aligned with who you are, Open Fields - Affirming Practice may be the right place for you.

​​​​​

I sit alongside adults navigating challenges across their personal lives, working lives, or the spaces where they intersect.

In Your Personal Life

I offer a collaborative space to support your personal well-being, identity, and relationships:​

• The Burden of Being "The Strong One": Letting go of constant self-criticism, chronic stress, low mood, and the emotional cost of holding everything together for everyone else.

• Navigating Relationship Patterns: Finding ways to set healthy boundaries, break out of unhelpful patterns, and build reciprocal connections where you feel heard and cared for.

• Processing Trauma & Hurt: Healing from past trauma, childhood emotional neglect, grief, or the deep pain of long-term invalidation and feeling invisible.

• Identity, Culture & Belonging: Exploring self-worth, figuring out who you are, or navigating the "in-between" experiences of migration and living across cultures.

• Late-Identified Neurodivergence: Learning about your brain later in life, letting go of blame or feeling "too much" or "not enough," and learning to treat yourself with kindness.

In Your Working Life​

I collaborate with you to co-create practical workplace strategies that respect your energy, reduce workplace barriers, and support sustainable working patterns.

 

Together, we can focus on:

• Managing Neurodivergent Burnout & Overwhelm: Navigating heavy workloads, competing priorities, unclear expectations, or the deep exhaustion that comes from prolonged masking and trying to fit into unsupportive environments.

• Working With Your Brain (Executive Functioning): Developing custom, shame-free coping mechanisms for time management, planning, prioritising, and task initiation or follow-through.

• Navigating Work Transitions: Finding gentle ways to manage change when returning to work after burnout or sickness absence, starting a new role, or building a sustainable routine when working for yourself (self-employment).

• Advocacy & Workplace Adjustments: Processing experiences of workplace exclusion, discrimination, or misunderstanding, identifying helpful adjustments, and finding safe ways to communicate your access needs.​​​​​​​
