People discovering their neurodivergence later in life, often after years of feeling “different” without knowing why, may feel relief 'now it all makes sense!', or grief 'what life may have been', and experience a big shift in identity. Neurodiversity isn’t about deficits and disorders that need 'fixing', it’s about understanding your brain, celebrating your strengths, embracing the challenges and nurturing your unique awesomeness.
So if you are neurodivergent - diagnosed or not, on a journey of self discovery and wanting to find our what it all means - reach out.

Hi, I’m Jake (they/them). My work has been shaped by growing up punk, neurodiverse and queer. On top of this, my time in disability advocacy and human rights spaces has also influenced my views on power and bodily autonomy. Which means, I resist the idea that therapy should help people adapt to systems that harm them, and I try to slow the work down and keep relationship at the centre.

ADHD Therapists
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.
