The Sunflower Practice - nurturing growth, embracing all minds.

Hello and welcome to my page,

I’m Sammie (she/her), a parent/carer and qualified Humanistic Integrative Counsellor (MÍø±¬ÃÅ). Being a neurodivergent therapist (AuDHD – Autistic and ADHD), I offer a safe, friendly and accepting space where you can be fully yourself, without pressure to mask or explain everything to feel seen.

At The Sunflower Practice, I offer a supportive and affirming space for Autistic, ADHD, and AuDHD adults, as well as for parent/carers and family members of neurodivergent individuals. Whether you're exploring your own neurodivergent identity or caring for someone who is, this is a space where your experiences are seen, valued, and understood. Together, we work towards greater self-awareness, connection, and empowerment.

This space is for all individuals who identify as neurodivergent—diagnosis is not required to access therapy at The Sunflower Practice. Everyone is welcome, whether you're diagnosed or exploring your neurodivergent identity.

I offer a range of modalities to hold our sessions and am happy to discuss any adaptations/reasonable adjustments you may need to access therapy with me.

Free 30-minute intro call available. We can chat about what you’re looking for and see if we’re a good fit. Therapy is available online or in person in Ashley Cross (Poole, Dorset).

My approach is:

- Flexible and non-judgemental

- Based on your pace and what matters to you

- Grounded in understanding neurodivergent experiences first-hand

- Integrative – I draw on a range of therapeutic theories and approaches, adapting to what feels most supportive for you and what you're working through

I work with people exploring all kinds of challenges and questions, including:

- Anxiety, overwhelm and burnout

- Emotional regulation and sensory overload

- Relationships, boundaries and communication

- Self-exploration, identity and self-acceptance

- Feeling stuck, different or misunderstood

- Navigating life transitions or change

You’re welcome to bring whatever you need into our sessions – whether it’s something big or something that’s hard to put into words. You don’t need to have it all figured out.

You’re the expert on your life. I’m here to support you in exploring it safely, kindly and with curiosity.

As said above, I offer a range of modalities to hold our sessions and am happy to discuss any adaptations/reasonable adjustments you may need to access therapy with me.

Initial Consultation - free 30-minute

When you first connect with me during an initial consultation, you’ll have an opportunity to share what brought you to therapy and what you’re hoping to achieve. This conversation is as much about me getting to know you as it is about you getting a feel for my approach. If you have any questions or concerns, this is the perfect time to ask. I want you to feel comfortable and informed before making any decisions and I’m happy to explain how the process works.

Assessment Session

In the first session, we’ll explore your unique experiences, strengths and challenges. This is not a rigid or formal assessment, but more of a collaborative conversation to understand what you're going through and what you’d like to focus on in therapy. I understand that traditional assessment processes or rigid structures can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially for neurodivergent individuals, so we’ll work together to ensure it’s tailored to your comfort and needs.
