About Me:
My health declined a few years ago which has proved a significant barrier in engaging in many things I used to do that matter to me, and with my community. I benefit from a calm & gentle environment. I love my dog, nature, music and creativity, good food and holistic therapies. I am a left wing person who cares for the environment & fairness for all. These things really matter to me & are important when it comes to engaging with others.

It is necessary to have a good understanding and experience of neurodivergence and the emotional challenges that can come with this.
I can really struggle with my memory, brain fog, executive functioning, overwhelm & keeping on top of admin - an individual who can feel confident in organisational skills to calmly assist around this is important. With this requires being able to remember things well & using initiative to adapt to different situations & tasks according to day, whilst foremost prioritising my wellbeing.
