Accessibility Statement

I am committed to making this website as accessible, inclusive, and usable as possible for everyone, including people with disabilities, neurodivergent people, and those living with chronic stress, pain, or fatigue.

This website is designed with care for nervous system regulation, clarity, and ease of use. Accessibility is understood not only as technical compliance, but also as emotional, cognitive, and sensory accessibility.

Design and readability

This website aims to support a wide range of access needs by:

  • Using a calm, consistent layout with predictable structure

  • Avoiding flashing elements, carousels, or unexpected movement

  • Using a light, low-glare background to reduce visual strain

  • Using dark grey text rather than pure black to reduce eye fatigue

  • Keeping line lengths moderate and spacing generous

  • Breaking content into clear sections with headings and bullet points

The content is written in plain, respectful language, without unnecessary jargon, while still offering depth and nuance.

Neurodiversity and cognitive accessibility

The site is designed to be supportive for people who may experience:

  • sensory sensitivity

  • cognitive overload

  • anxiety, stress, or fatigue

  • differences in attention, processing speed, or memory

Information is structured to allow readers to scan, pause, and return without losing context. Optional details are clearly marked, and there is no requirement to read everything at once.

Assistive technology compatibility

This website aims to be compatible with common assistive technologies, including:

  • screen readers

  • keyboard navigation

  • browser zoom and text resizing

  • high-contrast display modes

Headings follow a logical hierarchy, links are descriptive, and content does not rely on colour alone to convey meaning.

Images and media

Where images are used, they are decorative or supportive rather than essential for understanding content. Alternative text is provided where appropriate. No important information is conveyed through images alone.

Forms and contact

Contact options are designed to be straightforward and low pressure. You are welcome to get in touch in a way that feels manageable for you.

Ongoing commitment

Accessibility is an ongoing process. I recognise that access needs vary and change, and that no website is ever perfectly accessible for everyone.

If you experience any difficulty using this site, or if you have suggestions for how accessibility could be improved, you are very welcome to get in touch. Feedback is received with openness and care.

This accessibility statement reflects a commitment to inclusive, trauma-informed practice and is reviewed periodically.
