ADHD Counselling in Newcastle upon Tyne
I offer support for a wide range of difficulties such as Depression, Anxiety Disorders, Self Criticism, PTSD/CPTSD, emotional regulation issues, ADHD related problems, stress/burnout and Specific Phobia.
Having utilised therapy myself, I understand that traditional models aren’t always suitable for Neurodivergents. I work at a pace that’s safe and manageable and I aim to provide a calm, validating space where differences are understood, communication is clear, and practical strategies are tailored to how your brain works.

I understand that for some people starting therapy may feel daunting. I am interested in building a strong, supportive relationship. My style is warm, genuine, non-judgemental and hopeful. I strongly believe in hope, you may come to therapy feeling ‘hopeless’, if you do, I believe my role is to carry hope, until you are ready to do so yourself. I am interested in people’s stories and finding meaning and making sense of patterns and repetitive unhelpful behaviour. I will encourage self-kindness and quietening internal harsh voices. I may challenge false beliefs about yourself.

I have undertaken further training in Understanding ADHD & achieved the Level 2 qualification Understanding Autism
Hi, I'm Stephanie, and I'd like to help you experience a more fulfilling life. At the moment, there is so much emphasis and pressure on people to achieve and be productive every day, to strive towards visible high standards constantly, to the point of exhaustion. Are you highly critical of yourself? Do you find yourself unable to try new things in case you fail? Do you focus on ways to improve things about yourself that other people can see & validate - your appearance, your body shape, your job, studies and even hobbies? Do you find yourself unable to switch off and relax? Expect things of yourself that you never would of others?

I understand it can feel hard to be vulnerable and share your story. I’ll work gently at your pace, checking in to make sure it feels right for you. I’m a trained psychotherapeutic counsellor for children and young people, with years of experience supporting women too. I often work with those who feel low, worn out, anxious or unseen—who carry quiet feelings of not being good enough, or not truly mattering. Many I support are neurodivergent or tend to care for others while neglecting their own needs, often feeling burnt out, hopeless or uncertain about the future.

ADHD Counsellors
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.
