Neurodiversity-affirming* therapy for women, non-binary and fem people.

*a supportive, strengths-based approach that views neurological differences—such as autism and ADHD—as natural human variations rather than disorders to be cured.

Roxy Henley Neurodiversity therapist for women

Ethical, professional, kind, gentle and supportive neurodiversity-affirming online therapy — helping you understand yourself, your emotions, and your patterns, at your pace.

You might be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, low in mood, emotionally stuck, or disconnected from yourself. Perhaps you’re struggling with late-diagnosis, anxiety, stress, depression, low self-esteem, people-pleasing, perfectionism, relationship difficulties, or a persistent inner critic.

You may look like you’re coping on the outside while quietly feeling exhausted or unsure underneath.

I’m Roxy and I offer online integrative humanistic counselling for adults, with particular experience supporting diagnosed and undiagnosed neurodiverse women who are navigating identity, self-worth, emotional overwhelm, and the pressure to be ‘okay’ or productive.

Therapy with me is about making sense of your experiences to develop a kinder relationship with yourself, build resilience and thrive.

You are welcome just as you are.

Who
I am

I’m an integrative humanistic counsellor offering online therapy to adults across the UK. At the heart of my work is the belief that people make sense when their experiences are understood with care, curiosity, and compassion.

I have experience working with late-diagnosed or undiagnosed neurodiverse women, non-binary and fem people who may be sensitive, reflective, or emotionally attuned, yet prone to self-doubt, anxiety, burnout, or feeling ‘not enough’.

Many of the people I work with struggle with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, people-pleasing, perfectionism, identity questions, relationship difficulties, or feeling disconnected from themselves. Often, they’ve spent a long time being the ‘strong one’ — coping on the outside while feeling overwhelmed inside.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and relational. I don’t see clients as problems to solve, but as people whose coping strategies developed for understandable reasons that we may uncover in our collaborative work together. I aim to offer a space where you feel emotionally safe, taken seriously, and supported to explore what’s going on without pressure to perform or explain everything perfectly.

Hi, I’m Roxy

Testimonials From Clients:

“You’ve been incredibly helpful in explaining my thought processes and giving me the space to explore things in detail, even when I’ve needed to focus on a topic for a while before I could properly move past it. Your approach is always non-judgemental, which has made it much easier for me to open up.

It’s really clear how passionate you are about helping people, especially with all the thoughtful resources you’ve shared with me – like the helpful apps and the personalized self-care and reflection routines you created.

Thank you again for all your support.”

“I had an amazing experience with Roxy, out of all my previous therapists, I've felt the most understood and comfortable with her.

I have made amazing progress with her and I will be always grateful for the time and therapeutic relationship we had.

I will miss this level of care and compassion and will cherish it forever."

How
I work

I practise integrative humanistic counselling, an approach that draws from different humanistic therapy models while keeping the therapeutic relationship at the centre of the work.

Humanistic therapy is based on empathy, respect, and trust. I work alongside you, rather than positioning myself as an expert on your life. Together, we explore your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and patterns with curiosity and compassion.

Our work may include:

  • Making sense of past experiences and how they continue to affect you

  • Exploring anxiety, low mood, stress, and emotional overwhelm

  • Understanding self-criticism, low self-worth, and perfectionism

  • Exploring people-pleasing, boundaries, and relationship patterns

  • Supporting identity development, confidence, and self-acceptance

Sessions are guided by what feels most important to you. There is no set agenda, and we move at a pace that feels comfortable and manageable.

My Approach

Tell me about you

If you’re considering therapy, you’re welcome to reach out — even if you’re unsure or have questions. Everyone (18+) is welcome.

You can contact me via this form to book a free 20 minute introductory call to see whether working together feels like the right fit. (If you can, try to include what subject/s you want to bring to therapy, and your availability for counselling sessions.)

There’s no pressure or obligation. Sometimes starting with a conversation is enough.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes, if you suspect you are neurodiverse and want to make sense of your feelings, relationships and/or experiences.

  • Counselling offers a confidential, supportive space to explore what’s going on for you emotionally, mentally, or in your life. It can help you make sense of your experiences, develop greater self-understanding, and find new ways of relating to yourself and others. You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit — many people come to therapy simply because they want things to feel different or more manageable.

  • Online counselling takes place via secure video sessions, which you can join from the comfort of your own home or any private space. Sessions work in much the same way as in-person therapy, offering time to talk, reflect, and be heard. All you need is a stable internet connection and a quiet space where you feel comfortable and uninterrupted.

  • Research shows that online therapy can be just as effective as face-to-face counselling for many people. What matters most is the quality of the therapeutic relationship — feeling understood, supported, and safe. Many clients also find online counselling more accessible and easier to fit around work, study, or busy lives.

  • I work with adults experiencing a wide range of difficulties, including anxiety, low mood, stress and burnout, self-esteem issues, relationship difficulties, life transitions, Issues related to neurodiversity, people-pleasing, perfectionism, LGBTQIA issues and feelings of being stuck or lost. You don’t need a diagnosis to seek therapy — if something is affecting your wellbeing, it’s valid and worth exploring.

  • It’s very common to feel unsure about starting therapy or to wonder whether your struggles are “serious enough.” If something is weighing on you, repeating itself, or affecting how you feel about yourself or your life, counselling may be helpful. You don’t need to have all the answers — curiosity and willingness are enough to begin.

  • The first session is a chance for us to get to know one another and for you to talk about what’s brought you to therapy. There’s no pressure to share everything at once. We’ll move at a pace that feels right for you, and you can ask any questions you may have. My aim is to help you feel safe, heard, and supported from the very beginning.

    Getting started is simple. Reach out through our contact form or schedule a call—we’ll walk you through the next steps and answer any questions along the way.

  • Not at all. Some people come to therapy with clear goals, while others simply have a sense that something isn’t quite right. Both are equally welcome. Together, we can explore what you’d like from therapy, and this may naturally evolve as the work deepens.

  • Sessions last 50 minutes and usually take place weekly. Regular sessions help create continuity and allow trust and understanding to develop. However, the frequency and length of therapy are something we can review together over time, depending on your needs.

  • Counselling with me costs £60 per session, with a 10% discount applied when bought as a block of 6 sessions in advance. I also have a limited amount of student reduced-rate sessions available for those in education.

    Payment is due before the session unless otherwise agreed. Future sessions may be purchased in advance.

    I ask for at least 48 hours’ notice for cancellations or changes. This policy helps protect the therapeutic space and ensures fairness for both of us.

  • Yes. Counselling is confidential, meaning what you share stays between us. There are rare exceptions where I may need to break confidentiality — for example, if there is a serious risk of harm to you or someone else — and these limits will be explained clearly at the start of therapy.

  • Integrative humanistic counselling places the therapeutic relationship at the heart of the work. It is non-judgemental, compassionate, and tailored to you as an individual. I draw on different therapeutic approaches while staying grounded in a humanistic belief in your capacity for growth, self-understanding, and change.

  • Missed sessions or cancellations with less than 48 hours’ notice are charged in full.
