Do you feel overwhelmed by anxiety, ADHD, trauma, burnout, or constant stress? Perhaps you find yourself overthinking, people pleasing, feeling emotionally exhausted, or repeating patterns that leave you feeling stuck. Therapy is more than managing symptoms. It is an opportunity to reconnect with yourself and discover the clarity, resilience, and peace that can become buried beneath fear and self doubt. Together, we will create meaningful change so you can feel more balanced, confident, connected, and fully present in your life.

Do you feel STUCK? When we feel stuck we start to question our life’s purpose and often start to doubt past and future decisions. Feeling stuck can often lead to confusion, hopelessness, fear, paralysis and lack of motivation. These experiences can generally cause anxiety, panic, depression and generally a low quality of life. Although these feelings can be incredibly painful and may lead you to feel helpless, it’s important to remind yourself that with the right support, you can change your life.

Maybe you've always felt like a lot. Too sensitive, too in your head, too aware of everything beneath the surface. Maybe you've spent years trying to take up less space or logic your way out of patterns you can't seem to break. And yet here you are, still feeling it all. That's not a flaw. That's where the work gets interesting. I'm a therapist and founder of Oddly Human Counselling. I work with thoughtful, complex, and often neurodivergent adults who are tired of managing their inner world and ready to actually understand it.

Navigating a neurotypical world as a neurodivergent person can be overwhelming. Anxiety, depression, anger, and low self-esteem often stem from years of feeling misunderstood or unsupported in social, academic, or work environments. In therapy, we can explore your strengths, challenges, and goals—empowering you to work with your brain, not against it. I work with individuals with conditions such as ADHD and Autism (ASD) to establish coping strategies, gain personal insight and address lasting trauma.
