Neurodiversity
Neurodiversity describes the natural differences in how people think, process information, and experience the world. Some individuals identify as neurodivergent, which may include people with conditions such as autism, ADHD, or other neurological differences.
When partners experience the world in different ways, misunderstandings can sometimes arise. One partner may value direct communication and practical solutions, while the other may be looking for emotional expression or reassurance. These differences can occasionally lead to frustration or a sense of distance within the relationship.
Learning about neurodiversity can help both partners understand these differences more clearly. When each person begins to see how the other processes emotions, communication, and everyday situations, it often becomes easier to reduce conflict and build greater understanding.
Counselling provides a calm and supportive space to explore these experiences together. Sessions can help individuals and couples:
• understand how neurodiversity may influence communication and relationships
• explore different emotional and communication styles
• recognise patterns that may lead to misunderstandings
• develop ways of relating that respect both partners’ needs
The aim is not to change how someone thinks or experiences the world, but to support greater understanding so that relationships can feel more balanced, respectful, and supportive for everyone involved.

Hello! I am Ranjana, a trained and experienced relationship therapist, specialising in Couples Counselling.
I came into Counselling over 13 years ago,from a background in Psychology. I have trained as a Relationship Counsellor and have worked for the last decade at Relate – a charity that specialises in relationship work.
After completing my Master’s degree in Psychology, I started working with a clinical population. But I soon became more interested in the challenges that a large number of people live with, which may not be problematic enough to merit a label of an illness, but still problematic enough to make everyday life difficult. Things such as insecurities, anxieties, and low mood –can make everyday life and relationships unfulfilling. Feeling frustrated and conflicted in our relationships with family and friends can make us unhappy. Sometimes it is our lack of self- confidence and self- doubt that sabotages our relationships.
If you are not feeling good about yourself, content in your relationships, or where you are in life, it is worth making the effort to change. It is a shame to live with regrets when it is possible to be happy and fulfilled. Counselling can help you find a way to happiness.
Alongside Counselling, I also continue to work with vulnerable people – such as older people, those living with mental health challenges, physical and learning disabilities – and find it inspiring to see how people can enjoy their lives when they can work with - as opposed to– against their challenges.
