🌿 What if Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs was never designed with neurodivergent people in mind? 🌿

I spent so much of my life wondering why everyday things felt harder for me than they seemed to for everyone else. I became really good at masking, pushing through and ignoring my own needs because I thought that’s what I was supposed to do. 💭

Receiving my AuDHD diagnosis didn’t change who I am, but it gave me permission to stop fighting myself. 💚

When I looked back at Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, I realised something…

For many neurodivergent people, our needs don’t always fit neatly into a pyramid. 🧩

✨ Sometimes sensory safety comes before social connection.
🤝 Sometimes belonging means finding people who accept the real you, not the masked version.
🌱 Sometimes self-esteem begins with understanding yourself instead of trying to fit into a world that wasn’t designed with your brain in mind.

This visual reflects the perspective I wish I’d had years ago. The support I really needed wasn’t someone telling me to “just cope better” it was someone helping me understand myself with kindness, curiosity and compassion. ❤️

That’s why I’m choosing not to let fear stop me from following my dream of opening my own private practice. 🌸 (watch this space)

Because if you’re late diagnosed… I see you.

I see the years spent wondering why everything felt so much harder.

I see the mask you wore just to get through the day.

I see the pressure to meet expectations that were never designed for the way your brain works.

And I hope that, through my work, I can offer the understanding and acceptance that I needed myself.

You don’t have to earn your worth by fitting in.

You deserve to feel safe enough to be yourself. 💚

If this post helps just one person feel a little more understood, then it’s done exactly what I hoped it would. 🫶

💚 Right to Choose: My Journey

Hello! It’s been a little while since I’ve posted. I’ve been taking some time to learn more about neurodiversity and reflect on how I can incorporate that knowledge into my practice when I decide to return.

Since sharing that I’ve now been diagnosed with both ADHD and Autism, so many people have messaged me asking how I went through the Right to Choose process. I thought this simple guide might be helpful.

Everyone’s journey is different, but I wanted to share the steps I took in the hope it makes the process feel a little less overwhelming for someone else.

This guide is based on my own experience alongside current NHS Right to Choose guidance. Provider processes can vary, so it’s always worth checking the requirements of your chosen provider before asking your GP to refer you.

If you’re considering an ADHD or Autism assessment, I hope this helps you know where to start. 💚

Feel free to save this post for later or share it with someone who might find it useful.

Just wanted to share a little personal update.

Since being recently diagnosed with ADHD, I’ve decided to take a step back from MyBeing Counselling for a while as I focus on myself and getting my head around everything.

It’s not been an easy decision, but it feels like the right one. I want to give myself the time and space I need so that when I return, I can do it feeling more grounded, clear, and able to bring my best self to the work.

I also know that looking after our own wellbeing is part of doing this kind of work properly, and that really matters to me.

For now, my adverts and website are no longer up, and my phone line will not be manned.

If you’ve come across this account looking for support, please do check the BACP or Counselling Directory to find a qualified therapist.

I may also share the occasional post along the way if I come across anything interesting or helpful during my own learning and journey.

MyBeing counselling has always meant a lot to me, and I will come back to it with more understanding and growth behind me to support my future clients.

Thank you to everyone who’s supported me in my journey so far, it genuinely means a lot.

Study your patterns.

The greatest understanding comes from knowing your “why’s”
why you feel the way you do?
why you respond the way you do?
and why certain cycles keep repeating?

At MyBeing Counselling, we can explore this gently, at your pace, helping you build a deeper understanding of yourself.

Because when you understand your “why,” you begin to understand who you are…

That’s where real change begins.

Hi, I’m Jasmin, the counsellor behind MyBeing Counselling 🌿 👋🏼

I work with people who look like they’re coping on the outside but inside feel unsure of who they really are. People who learned to adapt, keep the peace, be the strong one, or put themselves now feel stuck, lost, or exhausted by it.

A lot of what we call “just my personality” often started as ways of staying safe, being accepted, or getting through difficult experiences. Therapy can be a space to understand those patterns with kindness, not judgement, and begin to figure out who you are underneath them.

You don’t need to have it all worked out.
Just a sense that something isn’t sitting right anymore.

I offer online counselling across the UK, with a free 15-minute intro call to see if we’re a good fit.

🌿 Do you feel different? In ways you just can’t explain?

Have you spent much of your life feeling out of place, disconnected, or unsure who you really are?

Do you notice yourself:
• People-pleasing
• Over-adapting
• Hiding parts of yourself just to cope

And now… you’re tired of surviving.
You want to understand who you really are underneath it all, feel more secure in yourself, and finally experience a sense of belonging.

⸻

💛 You don’t have to figure this out alone.

I offer online counselling creating a warm, accepting space where you can be fully yourself, without judgement.

I was born in Hong Kong, adopted, and raised in England, and I identify as neurodiverse. I understand what it’s like to live between identities and never quite feel like you fit in one box.

In our work together, I gently help you:
✨ Notice patterns you may not see yet
✨ Explore new perspectives
✨ Build deeper self-awareness
✨ Develop self-trust and emotional safety

⸻

🤍 Reaching out can feel hard!! especially if you’re used to coping alone.

In our sessions, you don’t have to hide.

I offer a free 15-minute introductory call so we can explore what you’re looking for and see if I’m the right counsellor for you.

📩 [email protected] to schedule a call.

As we begin 2026 ✨ my first post of the year 😁

Although I completed my Certificate in Adoption Support Counselling 🎓 back on 3rd December, the busyness of Christmas and the New Year meant I wanted to pause and create some space to share this properly.

This is something I’m genuinely proud of and feels deeply meaningful to me 🤍. Especially after recently meeting my birth mum, completing this training feels like a real full-circle moment, while also knowing it isn’t, because there is still so much more to learn.

I’m looking forward to continuing to build on this area of my practice 🌱.

If anyone can recommend CPD or training focused on attachment, I’d really appreciate your suggestions.

Wishing everyone a positive and gentle start to the year ahead ✨
