Jay Lever-King
About the Therapist
Hi! I'm Jay, an integrative therapist here to support those who are neurodivergent, LGBTQIA2S+ or feeling different.Â
As a gay man with AuDHD, I have experienced first-hand how it feels to be held back by debilitating anxiety, fear of abandonment, rejection and low self-esteem as a result of societal messages that are all-too-often received.Â

 I was a young person who had therapy because I had nothing to lose after navigating family difficulties, school issues and a sense of identity and withdrawing from the world altogether... and it saved my sanity. Reflecting on the opportunities and privilege that I had in receiving the support I had got, I now aim to carry the baton and give back to those who are in need of a listening ear and a gentle guiding hand - a place to embrace, empower and evolve.Â
I have spent the past 9 years working with individuals across various settings celebrating authenticity, creativity and individuality through empowerment and autonomy. Stories are an honour to be heard and listened to, so to be trusted enough to have such personal and precious stories shared with me is such a humbling satisfaction. During my 9 years of therapeutic support work, I found a great passion to helping those who are Autistic, ADHD and/or Neurodivergent. Having then being diagnosed with AuDHD later on, I understand the additional needs we have in a world that can feel like it wasn't built for us, thus require somebody who gets it.
I hold a safe, warm and non-judgemental space where you can be as you are. I am alongside you as we explore and work together to feel better, however that looks - something which we can find together to move through difficult and trying times.
