Are you lost in a wilderness of grief, fed up with being told to "move on"? Perhaps you’ve lost your sense of direction—feeling like you’re going in circles, stuck in a fog, or burdened by a life that no longer reflects your values.

Through counselling, coaching, and consulting, I help people honour their losses, rebuild their lives, and find their place—acknowledging where you are now and exploring where you might want to go.

I’m Emily Lewis, an online wellbeing psychologist and neurodivergent coach who supports Autistic, ADHD and AuDHD women reconnect with their authentic nature and create lives that feel more aligned, meaningful, and nourishing.
Many of the clients I work with come to me wanting to explore their own neurotype after self-identification, or after a recent diagnosis of Autism or ADHD (or both). Often, they’ve spent years masking, are burnout, and now they’re ready to understand themselves more deeply, reconnect with who they really are, and create a life that actually fits.

I am a Clinical Psychologist with a special interest in providing neurodiversity-affirming psychotherapy to adults who are (or who believe they might be) autistic and/or who experience ADHD-related difficulties.
Coping with life is not the same as being happy. My aim is to go beyond coping and help neurodivergent people access their true potential, so that they can build a vibrant life that suits their neurotype. I tend to work with my clients at a deeper level, by exploring emotions and unmet needs, as well as by processing past trauma for those who wish to do so.

Very Helpful Chats offers ADHD & Autism assessments, mental health treatment, counselling, occupational therapy, ADHD coaching, and social-therapeutic groups to the neurodivergent community.
What is the neurodiversity-affirming approach? The understanding that ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia and other neurodivergence are natural differences in human development. Neurodivergence is not a 'disorder', 'deficiency', or a 'condition' requiring treatment. You are not broken and you do not need to be fixed!

When should I seek treatment for ADHD?
You should seek treatment for ADHD if you consistently have difficulty with attention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity that interferes with your daily life. Symptoms of ADHD include the inability to sustain attention during tasks, difficulty organizing tasks and activities, being easily distracted, frequent fidgeting or squirming, and talking or interrupting excessively. If these symptoms interfere with your career, academics, or relationships—for example, consistently failing to complete professional projects on time—you should seek an evaluation for ADHD.
How does treatment for ADHD work?
Effective treatment for ADHD often consists of medication, behavioural therapy, and lifestyle changes. Stimulant medications such as Adderall and Ritalin work by altering levels of neurotransmitters in the brain; higher levels of dopamine and norepinephrine are known to improve attention and focus. Therapy works by helping people with ADHD understand the condition, discuss their areas of difficulty, and develop behavioral strategies to manage their symptoms. In some cases, modifying one’s diet and exercise can also help improve symptoms.
How long does treatment for ADHD take?
It’s tough to give an exact time frame because everyone varies. In terms of medications, stimulants begin to work very soon after you take them, generally within the hour. It may take time to identify the right medication and dosage, but the medication itself is fast-acting. In terms of therapy, it takes time to develop skills and put them into practice, but you will likely see improvements within a few weeks or months.
