  • Specialisms

    DeAnna works with a range of emotional and identity-based challenges, specialising in Autism, ADHD, masking and burnout, complex trauma (including C/PTSD), and anxiety-related issues such as social anxiety, people-pleasing, and imposter syndrome. She also works with clients navigating Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) or traits, offering a compassionate, neuroaffirmative space to explore emotional intensity, relational patterns, and core self-worth. Her approach supports clients in unmasking, making sense of their past, and rewriting the stories that have shaped how they see themselves and their place in the world. DeAnna has a particular interest in working with late-diagnosed neurodivergent (or neuro-questioning) adults navigating identity, relationships, and purpose.

  • DeAnna Says...

    Hi! I’m DeAnna, a neurodivergent therapist and coach based here in Chelmsford. I created Neuroaffirmative Coaching & Therapy to offer a safe, validating space for people who’ve spent years feeling misunderstood, burnt out, or like they were ‘too much’ or ‘not enough.’ I’m autistic and ADHD myself, and have lived through many of the challenges my clients face - from misdiagnosis and masking to identity confusion and trauma recovery. As a trained executive and life coach, and a root-cause therapist, I take an integrative approach. That means no one-size-fits all approach - instead, I draw from a range of tools and modalities to support your unique goals: your healing, and your expansion into your fullest, most authentic self. My approach is warm, collaborative, and empowering. Whether you’re unravelling old patterns, navigating trauma, or reimagining who you are beyond survival mode, I’m here to walk alongside you as you make sense of your story and reconnect with your purpose.
