I help adults experiencing bereavement, ongoing stress, or ADHD-related challenges.
Grief, life transitions, or chronic disorganisation can feel heavy and isolating. You might be mourning a death, facing sudden loss, pet loss, separation, illness, ageing, or anticipatory and complicated grief. Perhaps you're stuck in clutter, hoarding, or overwhelmed by chaos at home. Emotions like guilt, anger, numbness, longing, shame, or confusion can be exhausting. Though no one can carry this for you, you don’t have to carry it without someone beside you as you seek relief, understanding, direction, and space for what matters. At Changes in Between, you can honour your loss, rebuild your life, and find your place.

If what you really want is a relaxed, no-judgment space where you can be yourself—messy bits and all—and work out how to feel more like you, without the pressure. Maybe you’re neurodivergent or queer, dealing with anxiety, burnout, or just feeling a bit out of place. Maybe you’re done with masking and juggling everything. You’re not here for surface-level chats—you want a therapist you can genuinely connect with. Someone who gets the deeper stuff, and helps you make sense of it at your own pace.

I offer neuro-affirming, trauma-informed therapy as well as adult ADHD/autism assessments.
If you’re an adult who is going through a difficult time, or who’s spent years pushing through—masking, overthinking, and feeling “too much” or not enough—you’re not alone. People reach out for many reasons: anxiety, low mood, stress, relationship difficulties, burnout, or simply wanting to understand themselves better. Due to lived experience, I also have a particular interest in supporting neurodivergent individuals and those impacted by complex trauma (CPTSD). Whatever brings you here, you may be looking for clarity, steadier emotions, and support that actually fits you.

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.
