About Me

Understanding your experience without treating your neurotype as something to fix. I am a psychotherapist and a late-diagnosed autistic woman with ADHD. I work particularly with adults exploring trauma, burnout, identity, relationships and the experience of living with ADHD, autism or AuDHD. My approach combines professional therapeutic training with lived experience and adapts to the individual, rather than expecting every client to communicate, process, or participate the same way.

Anna Faff

My Core Principles:

Neurodiversity-affirming — Your neurotype is not something therapy needs to “fix”. We can make space for your communication style, sensory needs, pace, and processing style. Trauma-informed and body-aware — Alongside thoughts and emotions, we can notice how stress and difficult experiences may show up in the body, without forcing a particular interpretation or pace. Collaborative and relational — Therapy is a partnership. We can explore what is happening, what matters to you, and what boundaries, choices or changes may feel useful.
