Hello, I'm Suzanna. I’m a therapist for autistic, ADHD and AuDHD adults — and I’m neurodivergent myself. You don’t have to over-explain or justify your brain to me, because I get it. Neurodivergence often comes with anxiety, burnout, masking, or feeling overwhelmed. It can show up as frustration, shame, or a sense of being stuck or “not enough.”
Maybe you are a just diagnosed young adult, trying to understand how you can better support yourself in study, work or social environments.
Or perhaps you are one of the “late-diagnosed” - now realising why some areas of life have felt so hard and looking to learn more and make changes.

My person-centred modality carries the core belief that we are all born innately good. Things happen to us along our journey in life. Learnt behaviour and experiences shape our thoughts and feelings in our development. We can repeat our reactions to circumstances when they occur in adulthood. We can become unconscious of our behaviours because of the busy lives we lead. It's as if our experiences stick to us like "papier mache' " in the developmental years, forming a different self. This can be an uncomfortable and unwelcome reality that we want to change in adulthood or when it becomes painful, but we often do not know how to.

Therapy is a journey of getting to know yourself better; the positive parts, the challenging parts, and the parts you may want to let go. However, the journey can be lonely and we often find ourselves walking into the same dark alleyways time and time again. That’s where a strong therapeutic partnership can help us understand why we take the same routes, explore what other options we have, and what decisions we want to make next.

This can include the processing of a difficult life event such as a divorce, the death of a loved one or a traumatic experience.

How effective is treatment for learning disabilities?
When initiated early and tailored to a child’s specific needs, learning disability treatment can be quite effective at helping a child cope with their disability, though its exact efficacy may depend on the severity of symptoms and whether comorbid disorders exist. Less is known about treatment initiated in adulthood, but it is certainly possible that an adult with a learning disability will see some improvement—or at the very least, identify workarounds and accommodations that could make symptoms less burdensome in day-to-day life.
When should someone seek treatment for learning disabilities?
It’s best to seek treatment as early as possible. Because learning disabilities often go unnoticed until a child starts school, or even until they’re a few years along, regular check-ins with teachers and doctors can help parents determine whether children are meeting milestones and keeping up with peers or whether an evaluation for learning disabilities may be warranted. And although earlier is always better, it’s never too late to be evaluated for learning disabilities and to seek treatment.
What happens if learning disabilities are left untreated?
Undiagnosed and untreated learning disabilities can be a source of significant frustration and shame for a child, who may feel that their challenges stem from a lack of intelligence or willpower. Such feelings can trigger low self-esteem, depression, or anxiety, which may push a child toward risky behaviors, including substance use. In adulthood, untreated learning disabilities can interfere with career success, and lingering feelings of self-doubt and shame can negatively affect someone’s mental health.
Are there medications for learning disabilities?
Currently, there are no medications designed to treat specific learning disabilities such as dysgraphia or dyscalculia. However, someone with a learning disability may be prescribed medication for a comorbid condition, such as anxiety, depression, or ADHD, which may have positive downstream effects on their learning disability; for example, a child with both ADHD and dyslexia may find that they’re better able to focus on their reading exercises after being prescribed a stimulant medication.
