Welcome.  I'm Rubia.

I'm an integrative psychotherapist who specialises in working with neurodivergent and multicultural clients for the past 20 years in a variety of different settings. As a trauma-informed therapist my approach is holistic, creative and warm. I use my lived experience to connect, guide and support clients from all walks of life through periods of overwhelm. Through my practice, I offer a safe, collaborative and non-judgemental space, where I can talk openly and practice new ways of being. I will support and guide you through your own journey of self-awareness with compassion and connection. 

My work is supervised and my trainings include a significant number of certificates, including Neuroscience &  Trauma, Counselling the Neurodivergent (ASD, ADHD, Dyslexia & others), Suicide and Self - harm, Internet addiction and Cybersex, Mindfulness, Restorative Yoga , EMDR , Equine Assisted Therapy and Chinese Medicine (ongoing) - I'm passionate about learning!

People of all ages, ethnic backgrounds, gender identities, sexual orientations and spiritual traditions are welcomed into therapeutic connection with me. Together, we can explore the wounds of the past, hurtful thoughts, actions, decisions and current life stressors inhibiting the ability to accept yourself with compassion. I'm here to support you.

I work with a wide range of issues. These include relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, trauma, functional living with mental health issues, Loss, workplace-related stress, low self-esteem, self-harm and many more.

My services include:

• Relationship Issues
• Counselling the Neurodivergent - Autism, Asperges, ADHD, Dyspraxia, Dyslexia (& others)
• Counselling young people and adults with complex health needs and disabilities 
• Anxiety and Depression;
• Parenting Counselling;
• Multicultural Counselling;
• School Counselling;
• EXPATS Counselling;
• Teen Counselling;
• Animal assisted therapy
• Mindfullness & Restorative Yoga

Common issues that my neurodivergent clients bring to therapy include emotional burnout, sensory overwhelm, anxiety, frustration, relationship struggles, family and work issues, gender identity and sexuality.

Making changes can be challenging. Guided support can help navigate the obstacles. Let's figure it out together. 

Our first session together will provide us with the opportunity to see whether we feel suited to work together.

I understand that choosing a therapist you can connect with is not easy. I will answer any questions you may have about my work and explain the counselling process in a way that will support you to make a choice. I work on short and long-term basis.
