As a parent and someone with lived experience of ADHD, I understand how overwhelming and emotional the journey toward a diagnosis can feel.
Life can be challenging, and sometimes it feels like everything is just too much. In those moments, what we often need most is a safe, understanding space, somewhere we can breathe, release, and talk without fear of judgment.
That’s where I come in.
I offer a warm, confidential environment where you can speak freely about whatever is troubling you, whether it's anxiety, low mood, depression, or simply feeling stuck. Together, we’ll work to help you regain control, discover new ways of coping, and move toward a more balanced, positive life.

I have lived experience of ADHD—my daughter was diagnosed late with both ADHD and Autism after years of struggling, and through her journey, I got my own diagnosis too.
Life can feel overwhelming—especially when you’re carrying things that others can’t see. You might feel stuck, anxious, burnt out, or unsure why you’re not coping. I don’t offer quick fixes or advice—I offer a safe, non-judgemental space to explore what’s going on at your pace. For trauma or distressing events, I use gentle approaches like the Rewind Technique, which can help you process difficult memories without having to relive them in detail. Sometimes, having someone who really listens is the first step.

Whether it’s anxiety, low mood, ADHD, or something harder to name—I help people untangle things, spot patterns, and find more clarity and direction.
You might feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected—from yourself, from others, or from what used to matter. Maybe you’re tired of repeating the same patterns, or struggling to make sense of your thoughts and emotions. You might not even know exactly what’s wrong—just that something isn’t sitting right. You’re looking for real change, not just surface-level advice. Therapy can help you get to the root of things, understand yourself better, and find a way forward that actually feels right for you.

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.
