ADHD - differences in attention, executive function, impulsivity, motivation and emotional regulation.
Autism - differences in social communication, sensory processing, routines, interests, and information processing.
Dyslexia - differences in reading and language processing.

Some people also use neurodivergent in relation to conditions such as OCD, bipolar disorder, or other forms of neurological/psychiatric difference.
How Counselling Can Help with issues associated with Neurodivergence
Help you understand yourself; make sense of how your brain works, including patterns around emotions, sensory overload, attention, communication, routines and relationships.
Help you manage your emotions; anxiety, overwhelm, frustration, rejection sensitivity, low self-esteem, or difficulties regulating emotions.
Help you reduce masking by providing you with a space to explore what feels authentic to you.
Help you build practical strategies for executive-function difficulties, transitions/change, procrastination, boundaries, communication and coping with overwhelming situations.
Help you manage relationships by enabling you to understand differences in communication and work through misunderstandings.
Help you process difficult experiences such as bullying, exclusion, criticism, repeated failure or feelings of being ‘too much’ or ‘not enough’.

Help you manage life changes such as leaving education, starting a new job, meeting new people, becoming a parent.
Meet your Counsellor, Sarah
Hello I’m Sarah, the woman behind Empowered Within Counselling.
I love supporting and enabling my clients to heal, grow and become their true self. I believe that counselling is a journey and when I work with a client, I am on that journey with them. I am very committed to ensuring my clients receive the right support for their needs.
With over 20 years of experience, including within the NHS, of offering support to people in various settings, I bring maturity and an innate understanding of other people’s needs, together with my own lived experience.
Sessions are available face-to-face in Rotherham or online
I offer clients the chance to work through their issues in a safe, non-judgmental space, using an integrative approach, which helps me to meet client’s individual needs.
I have a counselling room, based in West Melton on the outskirts of Rotherham, that I use for face-to-face sessions.
To make my sessions as accessible as possible, I also offer online sessions.
Counselling can be the first step to a happier you.
