ADHD Counselling in Newton Aycliffe
I'm especially passionate about supporting people navigating anxiety and panic attacks, ADHD/ AudHD, perimenopause and menopause, as well as those feeling the emotional impact of DNA discoveries or genealogy and family history research.
You’re holding it all together, but only just. Maybe you’ve had a panic attack in the toilet at work. Maybe you’ve asked ChatGPT to help untangle your brain.
You feel everything so deeply. The tiniest thing tips you over. Everyone’s got an opinion about what you should do, but you don’t even know who you are anymore. Maybe you've been carrying things alone for a while and masking how hard it’s been just to get through the day. You might feel like you're "too much" and still feel "not good enough". You're not broken. You’ve been thinking about therapy. Now you’re here, wondering if anyone will really get it.

I offer specialist therapy for eating disorders and body image issues.
Are thoughts about food or your body ruling your life? You've probably tried to change before, to eat less, eat more "normally" or promise yourself tomorrow will be different, but nothing seems to last for long.

I work online with adults across the UK, supporting people with a range of experiences including: binge eating, compulsive eating, bulimia, anorexia, ARFID, body dysmorphia and disordered eating that doesn’t fit into a clear category.

Deeply self-aware and neurodivergent people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or exhausted from constantly holding everything together. Some of my clients come to counselling feeling lost in questions of identity, belonging, relationships, self-worth, grief, trauma, life transitions, or the lasting impact of difficult experiences. They may be struggling to understand themselves, navigate change, process emotions, or find a way forward that feels authentic and sustainable. At the heart of my work is helping people see themselves as whole human beings, not problems to be fixed.

I offer ADHD assessments and diagnosis, and tailor my therapy to work with neurodiversity.
I hope to create a safe and honest space where you can bring all parts of yourself to therapy.

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.

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?

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.
