Having diagnoses of both Autism and ADHD, I focus on neurodivergence and how it can impact wellbeing and self-esteem.
With my training in CBT, I support people working through current or historical problems. Having both ADHD and Autism, I can empathically assist neurodivergent individuals; offering tools for unmasking in a challenging world. I also work with the complex dynamics of dysfunctional families - and offer support in boundary setting for adults in conflict.

Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed, stuck or unsure of who they are becoming. They want clarity, confidence and a calmer inner world but often carry long-standing patterns that feel hard to shift alone. I offer a steady, compassionate space where you can explore your feelings, understand your story and make sense of the deeper roots of your struggles. Together, we work toward creating a more grounded, connected and authentic sense of self so you can move forward with greater ease.

People seek counselling and psychotherapy for various reasons. Not everyone knows what is bothering them. Often it is the difficulties and challenges of daily life that become overwhelming and unmanageable, impacting relationships, work and decision making. It is sometimes beyond the control of the individual to address those issues without professional help.

Reaching out for therapy can feel like a huge step. Sometimes a particular experience leads us to seek therapy, or we may want to explore significant themes in our lives or how we relate to others. You may want to explore both of these. Maybe you're currently feeling that you would benefit from exploring the impact our past has on our day-to-day life and relationships.

I specialise in working with children & their families, particularly young children. Parents contact me because they are concerned about their child's behaviour or development, sometimes they can see that their child is worried, cross or seems sad. Often parents have questions about how best to respond to their child in different situations, or want to learn more about different parenting approaches. Parents also worry about relationships within the family; whether they feel as close to their child as they thought they would, or whether difficult times have put a strain on relationships. These are all good reasons to get in touch.

Having discovered my own neurodiversity later in life, I now work particularly with teen and adult ND clients - ADHD, ADD, ASD - coming to terms with the implications of adult diagnosis, but I also work with those struggling with anxiety, stress, depression and bereavement.
I draw together personal experience with understanding. 20 years ago I was suicidally depressed. In recent years I have discovered that I am neurodiverse with strong OCD tendencies! Coming to terms successfully with an adult diagnosis is a matter of daily choices not abstract analysis.

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.
