I work with adults (20s–40s) using CBT, ACT, and coaching to navigate ADHD, anxiety, self-doubt, and messy relationships.
Let’s start with this: You are not your ADHD.
You might look like you’re coping — holding down a job, keeping up appearances — but inside, it’s chaotic. The overthinking, the scattered focus, the constant sense that you're behind. Maybe it’s ADHD, anxiety, or just a brain that won’t switch off.
What you want is clarity, calm, and tools that actually help. More than that, you want to feel like yourself again.
I work with people like you to understand your mind, quiet the self-doubt, and build a life that feels manageable and meaningful.

Bronte offers personalised counselling for adults facing various life challenges, including: coping with discrimination; stress, anxiety, depression; grief and loss; PTSD; relational/complex trauma; (dis)embodiment; chronic illness and pain; emotional injury; relationship difficulties; major life transitions; identity, self-estrangement, self-worth.
Our inner world holds deep wisdom, often hidden beneath the stories we tell ourselves. By tuning into our emotions and listening to our bodies, we can uncover a personal map to a more meaningful life. With support and encouragement, we can recognise what we long for, what we need, ‘what truly feels right for me'. Together, we can explore how past experiences and the world around you shape your present-moment experience. When you become aware of old patterns, you can decide which ones still serve you - and which ones don’t - allowing you to step into new ways of being that bring greater connection, fulfilment, health, and wellbeing.

Relationship Issues Therapists
What types of relationship issues can therapists help with?
Therapists who specialise in relationships work with individuals, couples, and families on a wide range of issues. Common concerns include communication problems, infidelity, intimacy difficulties, and navigating major life transitions such as marriage, parenthood, or caregiving. Family therapists may also address parent–child conflict, sibling rivalry, or other complex family dynamics.
What are the different types of therapy for relationship issues?
Relationship issues can be addressed through different types of therapy depending on whether you’re seeking help as an individual, couple, or family. In individual therapy, the focus is often on helping an individual understand how their own patterns, attachment style, and past experiences may be shaping their current relationships. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), attachment therapy, and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) are three common forms of individual treatment that can help individuals understand their current relationship dynamics and improve their relationship quality. Couples therapy often uses other forms of evidence-based treatment, such as Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) or the Gottman Method. Rather than focusing on the individual, these approaches focus on improving communication, rebuilding trust, and strengthening emotional bonds between individuals in a relationship. Similarly, family therapy often focuses on communication but also examines how larger-scale dynamics—such as how parenting styles, generational differences, or sibling roles—may shape family relationships.
What actually happens in a therapy session for relationship issues?
The structure of a session depends on whether therapy involves one person or multiple people. In individual sessions, the focus may be on exploring personal patterns, role-playing difficult conversations, practicing listening skills, or setting goals for handling conflict. In couples or family sessions, each person is encouraged to share their perspective while the therapist helps uncover underlying emotions, highlight unhelpful interaction patterns, and guide more constructive communication.
How can I find an effective relationship therapist?
Finding a therapist who is a good fit for your needs, either for individual, couples, or family therapy, is critical to ensure effective therapy. Psychology Today’s online directory makes it easy to search for therapists who specialise in relationship issues, as well as related topics like marriage counselling. The platform offers filters to help you find a provider who fits your needs, such as gender, location, and fees. While the Psychology Today directory also offers the ability to filter by insurance type, it’s important to note that insurance may not cover many types of relationship therapy, such as couples counselling, so it’s important to inquire with your insurance plan about specific coverage details if intending to use insurance for therapy.
