Also, I work in NHS in the Mental Health sector with anxiety, depression, trauma, personality disorders, ADHD and neurodivergence.
Life can be extremely challenging for us on a day-to-day basis. Poor sleep, anxiety, and lack of energy or motivation. This can lead to an emotional downward spiral in our mental health. We may feel stuck, lonely or even traumatised. If you feel ready to talk, I am here for you. Throughout my own journey, I have experienced many of the aforementioned conditions, which have led me to this career path. I offer warm and safe online counselling sessions for those over the age of 18. If you are ready to restart your journey and move towards personal growth, please get in touch to arrange a free, no-obligation call.

Hi, my name is Rebecca. I decided to become a therapeutic counsellor because I wanted to devote the rest of my working life to making a difference. My own training and personal counselling has helped me to overcome issues in my own life and now I get to use that experience to help others. People seek counselling for different reasons; a sudden life event that has left them feeling misplaced such as a bereavement or a divorce, some to confront past trauma and some to address day to day issues such as anxiety or low self-esteem. Whatever has led you here has brought you closer to finding closure or improving your day to day life.

My aim is to help you make sense of your feelings, thoughts, and patterns of relating, especially those that may feel confusing or repetitive. Together, we can explore not only what is happening in your life now, but also how past experiences and relationships continue to shape your present. Within this trusting and confidential space, you may begin to notice connections between past and present, understand the roots of emotional pain, and discover new ways of being. By paying gentle attention to what unfolds between us, we can bring what is unconscious into awareness, opening the possibility for change and growth.

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.
