Natasha Leppard. MA - Therapist - Counsellor

About Me
I’m a neurodivergent therapist (AuDHD, ADHD, autistic, and dyslexic) and a parent to a neurodiverse child. My lived experience deeply informs how I work — I understand, on both personal and professional levels, the unique challenges of navigating a world not built for neurodivergent minds. Whether it’s identity, burnout, masking, sensory overwhelm, parenting, education, work, or relationships, I offer a space where all of who you are is welcomed and understood.
How I Work
My approach is integrative and humanistic, grounded in the person-centred tradition. I also draw on psychodynamic insights and existential ideas to help make sense of your inner world, especially in the context of trauma or long-standing patterns. I am both neurodivergent-affirming and trauma-informed — and I bring curiosity, compassion, and respect into every therapeutic relationship.
Who I Work With
I support autistic and ADHD clients (diagnosed, self-identified or exploring), as well as those who have been late-identified or are navigating complex life stages such as transitions, burnout, or identity shifts. I have particular experience working with LGBTQIA+ clients, parents of neurodivergent children, and survivors of trauma — especially those who have felt “too much” or “not enough” for too long.
Professional Background
I hold a Master’s degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy Practice and am a senior professional member (Level 3) of ACTO, which recognises my specialist training and experience in online therapy. My practice is inclusive, anti-oppressive, and rooted in respect for each person’s unique experience of the world.
