I work with adults, young people, and parents. Many of my clients identify with ADHD or are exploring a possible diagnosis. Some have a recent diagnosis and feel unsure what it means. Others have lived with it for years and feel exhausted from trying to keep up.
I also work with clients who carry the impact of trauma, including those who feel stuck in patterns of overwhelm, avoidance, or self-criticism.
Often, clients come in feeling frustrated with themselves. They have tried strategies that do not work and are looking for a different way to understand what is happening.
As a counsellor and a parent of a child with ADHD, I bring both clinical training and lived understanding to my work. I specialise in ADHD counselling and EMDR therapy, integrating ACT, mindfulness, and psychoeducation to help you make sense of your experience and find practical ways forward that fit your life.
If you live with ADHD, or care for someone who does, things can feel harder than they should. You may struggle with doubts, overwhelm, or emotional intensity. You may also carry past experiences that continue to shape how you think and respond. In our work, we look beyond symptoms to understand patterns and build more effective ways forward.
