Empowering mental wellness together
Two practitioners providing compassionate counselling & offering real, human connection.
Biscuits, tea & Therapy - Erica FINLAYSON MBACP (Accred)
Introduction
Oh love- I’ll get you a brew. Sound familiar? A good cup of tea can be comforting, but it doesn’t magically fix the overwhelm, the masking, the trauma, or the tangled relationships that bring so many of us to therapy. What it can do is help us slow down, breathe, and start exploring things together in a way that feels safe, steady, and genuinely human.
ADHD & Autism
I’m a person‑centred, trauma‑informed counsellor who shows up as a human, not a blank slate. I bring my personality, my lived experience, and my full attention into the room- because real connection heals.
I work mainly with ADHD and Autistic clients, no official diagnosis required. Together we look at your past and present through a neurodivergent lens, spotting what’s been missed, what’s been hard, and what might finally help. My approach is ND‑affirming, gentle, and grounded in clinical training (ADHD‑CCSP, ASDCS in progress) and lived experience.
Trauma Therapy
I support people navigating trauma (including coercive control, physical and sexual abuse), PTSD/CPTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, health challenges, addiction recovery, and the messy, complicated stuff life throws at us.
A note about how I work
Sessions with me are open‑ended: your slot is yours for as long as you want it. And comfort is non‑negotiable. Pyjamas? Fine. Info‑dump about a film on the way up the stairs? Please do. This is a space where you get to be fully you.
Alongside one‑to‑one therapy, I provide free monthly wellbeing sessions for neurodivergent adults with community group Unity: One And All, because accessible community support matters.
If you feel a spark of “yes, this is my kind of therapist,” I’d love to hear from you.
In brief:
I can support adults with:
- Emotional regulation
- ADHD & Autism
- Anxiety
- Overwhelm & Burnout
- Understanding Neurodivergent Traits
- Support for ND parents
- Help navigating relationships
- Recognising needs
- Exploring rejection Sensitivity
- Setting Boundaries (and maintaining them!)
- Mapping Neurodivergent Traits
Complaints procedure
We hope you never feel that you need to make a complaint, but if you do here's how it works:
Step 1: Your first step would be to approach your therapist directly, this could be in person, by email or you could even write them a letter to read in session. Most issues or misunderstandings can be resolved promptly in this way!
Step 2: As members of BACP, if you feel your issue is still not resolved, you can contact our governing body in the following ways:
