I specialise in both anxiety and ADHD. Anxiety can make even ordinary life feel like something to survive. The what-ifs, the replaying, the bracing for something that may never come. It's an exhausting way to live, and after a while you can't imagine feeling any other way. ADHD can leave you feeling like your mind is working against you. The chaos at home, the missed deadlines, and the grief of knowing what you're capable of and not getting there. Not laziness, just a mind that works differently. If either of those resonates, you're in the right place.
I work with people experiencing anxiety in many forms - health anxiety, fear of death, relationship worries, sleep difficulties, or a stress that just won't let up. I also support people with ADHD, or those wondering if they have it, in navigating low self-esteem, procrastination, burnout, relationship issues, depression and anxiety too.
I know what it's like to live with both anxiety and ADHD, not just as a therapist but as someone who's been there - knowing that from the inside shapes the care I bring to this work. You're welcome to book a free call through email or my website to see if we're a good fit. Even if I'm not the right therapist for you, I'll gladly help you find someone who is.
