Short bio:

Hi, I’m Catherine – a neuroaffirming counsellor passionate about supporting neurodivergent clients.
I work with individuals aged 17 and over, offering a safe, compassionate space to explore both past trauma and present-day challenges.

I specialise in working with issues related to Neurodiversity (including ADHD and Autism), Childhood Emotional Neglect, and Narcissistic Abuse. Many of my clients are navigating life as neurodivergent individuals and may be experiencing a wide variety of personal or emotional struggles.

I welcome clients at any stage of the neurodiversity journey – whether self-identified, undergoing assessment, or post-diagnosis. You’ll find a validating, respectful approach tailored to your unique experience.

Catherine Aberdein

Place Category: Counsellors and Psychotherapists

I have a particular passion for working with neurodivergent clients, including those with ADHD and Autism. While I’m neurotypical myself, I consider myself a committed neurodiversity advocate and work with a high proportion of neurodivergent individuals in my practice.

My approach is affirming, respectful, and tailored to each person’s unique way of experiencing the world. I support clients with a range of challenges, including burnout, anxiety, self-care, assertiveness, boundary-setting, identity exploration, and building confidence. Together, we work to foster greater self-understanding, self-compassion, and effective ways of navigating relationships and daily life.

I also offer support at any stage of the diagnostic journey — whether you’re considering an assessment, going through the process, or adjusting post-diagnosis.
