Julie Grucza
Counsellor or psychotherapist (ACA, PACFA or CPCA). Counsellor for the neurodiverse who understands the importance of working at your pace
About
I’m Julie, a counsellor and psychotherapist working with neurodivergent adults, including people diagnosed with ADHD or autism later in life and those exploring their neurodivergence.
I hold a Master of Counselling and Psychotherapy and bring over 20 years of experience in education and inclusive support. My own experience of later-life AuDHD also informs my understanding of what it can mean to see yourself through a new lens.
My approach is neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed and collaborative. We work at your pace, adapting sessions to your communication preferences, needs and goals. Together, we can explore identity, overwhelm, relationships, self-esteem and the adjustments that may make everyday life more manageable.
You do not need to have everything figured out before we begin. There is space to be yourself, feel heard and work towards what matters to you.
What a first session looks like
We’ll meet online for our first session. I’ll explain confidentiality and how sessions work, then ask what has brought you here and what you would like support with. You don’t need to prepare or know exactly what to say. We can go at your pace, and you can ask questions or take breaks. You’re welcome to use fidgets or move around. We’ll discuss any communication or sensory needs and ways to make online sessions comfortable for you. Together, we’ll decide on a starting point.
