David Linford-Smith
Coaching & Psychotherapy
I welcome you as you are.
I offer a warm, affirming space for people who are neurodivergent (including Autistim and ADHD).
Empathetic in nature, my personal and professional ethics are based on attunement, independence, autonomy, and inclusion. I work with a Trauma-Informed approach, co-creating and promoting personal empowerment and spontaneity of expression.
With training in Gender, Sex and Relationship Diversity Therapy, my practice is LGBTQIA+ inclusive. My practice is disability-friendly, as well as neurodiversity-informed. I support people whose native language is not English.
