The counselling is where those two obsessions finally make sense together.</p><p>I sing alto as a choral scholar, and classical music is less a hobby and more a way of existing. I also write long-form and reflective pieces, the kind that try to articulate what sits just underneath the surface. I have worked as a piano teacher, a peer support facilitator, a reference group member in the disability sector, and a freelance writer, which together form a fairly honest portrait of what I care about.</p><p>I am <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/AuDHD" rel="tag">#<span>AuDHD</span></a> and <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/Blind" rel="tag">#<span>Blind</span></a> and hard of hearing, navigating postgraduate study and a life built largely on listening closely to things.
