ADHD Counselling in Didcot
I specialise in trauma, attachment, and working with neurodivergent clients (ASD/ ADHD) in a warm, affirming and collaborative way.
Are you looking for a therapist who doesn’t feel like a “typical” therapist—someone who really understands what you’re going through? I’m warm, flexible, and non-judgmental, offering a safe, compassionate space for young people and adults. I tailor my approach to each person’s developmental stage and life experience. My work is interactive and person-centred, gently guiding and creative. I integrate arts and games with CBT, adapting sessions to each client’s needs. I help teens and adults explore behaviours and motivations, gently shift perspectives, and feel truly understood at their level.

A bit about particular marginalised identities I'm familiar with: I have ADHD and see many clients who are neurodivergent (particularly clients who have ADHD, or are autistic or AuDHD).
Conflicts often follow a familiar, repetitive pattern even though the content may change. In relationship therapy, we can identify the strategies that you're using in conflict, the needs you hope those strategies will meet, the ways in which those strategies might be counterproductive, and how you can do things differently.
I offer Internal Family Systems informed therapy for partners and other pairs including siblings, friends, and family members. I welcome people in non-normative relationships such as queerplatonic relationships.

Seeking help can be overwhelming, especially for the first time. You may be used to feeling misunderstood, unheard, or unimportant. I aim to help you feel safe and provide a place where you can talk about what's troubling you, without fear of judgment.
I am an integrative therapeutic counsellor: I tailor sessions to your wants and needs, and help you find your strengths as well as work through your struggles. Therapy can be hard at times, but it needn't be boring: I encourage creativity, humour, and bringing your own personality into the room!

Counselling can be helpful for a number of different life difficulties such as anxiety, depression and family and relationship issues. Often in life we need to re-think or re-evaluate where we are going or who we are - you do not have to be in crisis for counselling to be of help to you. I aim to support you to be the best possible version of your self. I become a counsellor over 24 years ago and I have experienced many of the problems a full and busy life can give you. I wanted to support other people in making good life choices and to live happy and fulfilling lives free from difficulties that restrict them.

Hello and welcome. How can I help support you? It can be difficult to express our feelings or make sense of what is happening to us. Enabling ourselves to be truly heard is important so that we might explore our difficulties. You may feel that a change is needed. Perhaps you struggle with unhelpful patterns or have difficulty setting boundaries for yourself. Do you replay events, wishing that you had done things differently? Perhaps a past trauma is haunting you. Navigating our challenges can make us feel out of control, lost and frustrated. By working together we can heal, build strength and resilience and feel more fulfilled.

I offer counselling for adults and teens, for a wide range of issues including anxiety, low mood, stress, relationships, grief, self-doubt, or simply a sense that things are not quite as they should be.
Many of the people I work with find themselves putting others' needs first, being hard on themselves, or feeling stuck in ways they don't fully understand. Together, we can explore your experiences, develop greater self-understanding, and find ways forward that feel right for you. Whether you’re facing a specific challenge or trying to make sense of longer-standing patterns, I provide a warm and non-judgemental space.

I also work with people who have ADHD.
As a Clinical Psychologist I have been trained in many different approaches (eg CBT, ACT, schema therapy etc). The approach I use with an individual client depends on their difficulties and preferences. Our first session would involve me asking lots of questions to understand you and your difficulties and what you would like to get out of sessions.

With climate change, systemic social and financial inequality, polarised political debate, the cost-of-living crisis, and more going on around us, life in the 21st century can be complex and challenging. For those of us who are neurodivergent, LGBTQ+, disabled, racialised, or otherwise marginalized, things can be even tougher. Against this backdrop, prioritising your own well-being through counselling is a radical act which can help you develop self-compassion, address short- or long-term issues, and live authentically.

It is my belief that we all have very unique and individual reasons and circumstances surrounding our issues and that taking the step to share them with someone else can be intimidating. Which is why I am open to working in a non-judgemental way, with anyone who feels they want to share their thoughts and feelings in a safe and nurturing environment. I offer face to face or online video counselling via Zoom because I realise that not everyone wants to be in the same room as their therapist or are able to travel.

I tend to work with people who feel caught in familiar but difficult patterns, whether that’s anxiety, low mood, ADHD, relational struggles, or the impact of earlier experiences.
Alongside my Gestalt practice, I integrate Schema Therapy when working with more longstanding patterns that feel hard to shift. This can help us make sense of how early experiences shaped your ways of coping and relating, and how these patterns continue to show up in the present, particularly in close relationships or under stress.

As a neurodivergent therapist specialising in ADHD and autism, my approach is built to align with how your neurodivergent mind thinks, feels, and processes.
I understand that starting therapy can feel daunting, especially if you’ve ever felt misunderstood or dismissed in traditional settings, or unsure how to express yourself. Many neurodivergent clients find that previous therapy hasn’t fully understood their experience. That’s why I’m dedicated to creating a warm, safe, and accommodating space where you can feel understood and valued exactly as you are.
I work with an integrative approach, placing you at the heart of therapy in a safe, judgment-free space. My approach is flexible and fluid, adapting to your unique needs and preferences.

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.
