I’ve been working with clients for over 14 years and have specialist experience supporting neurodivergent individuals, particularly those with ADHD, Dyslexia and Autism.
In my approach to therapy, integrating the body is fundamental. Emotional stress and trauma are often held physically, which can contribute to symptoms and illness over time. I work with clients who are interested in using movement and exercise as tools to support their mental health and overall well-being. Check out my YouTube channel for more information.

Chiu is a certified art psychotherapist based in the North East. Over the past five years, Chiu has delivered art therapy to individuals and groups in a wide range of settings, including the NHS, care homes, SEN schools, and local council services across London,Edinburgh, Newcastle and Northumberland. My belief lies in the immense power of empathy, active listening, and providing a safe and inclusive environment for each person. I’ve witnessed how art creation serves as a non-verbal avenue, offering glimpses into the subconscious and aiding in processing trauma.

My approach is human centred, compassion focused, and trauma informed. I believe that every person is shaped by their life experiences and has their own unique strengths and challenges. As such, I do not use symptom lists, diagnostic labels, or manualised treatments. If you are looking for a therapist who works in this way, I may not be the best practitioner to support your needs. We will begin by exploring together what brings you to therapy and creating a shared understanding of your unique life story. From here, we can begin to make connections between your history and your present difficulties, whatever they may be.

As well as my accredited Level 6 Diploma, my additional training includes: Gender Sexuality and Relationship Diversity (GSRD) Therapy, C-PTSD and Autism, and ADHD.
Feeling stuck? Navigating life's challenges can be difficult on your own. Perhaps you are going through a life change, struggling with relationships, or questioning your identity, or direction? I can offer a supportive safe space, free of judgement, to explore your experiences and next steps. I believe there’s no "one size fits all" way of doing therapy, so I take an integrative approach to tailor our sessions to you. This could mean person-centered counselling, relational therapy, coaching strategies, or creative methods to best support your personal growth, and therapy goals.

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.
