ADHD Counselling in Northampton
Using industry approved assessments, and a warm, empathetic and thoughtful approach I help people with life long concentration and attention difficulties as well as those who find talking with others draining and confusing work out if ADHD or Autistic Spectrum Condition (Asperger’s Syndrome) makes sense as a useful description for these differences.
What if you knew why you felt different from everyone else? What if you knew why your brain wrecked, your concentration? Job? Relationships? Do you often feel like there was a class on starting, maintaining and ending conversation but you missed it? Do you feel overwhelmed if there is too much noise or too many people talking at once? Or maybe you HAVE to do something and that you cannot just relax and do absolutely nothing? Do you feel physically exhausted but you mind is still racing and will not let you sleep? If this sounds familiar and you are looking to understanding why this happens, then I might be able to help.

I'm also neurodivergent ( ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia), which brings lived empathy to my work.
Hi, I’m Coral — I’m really glad you’re here.
Sometimes we feel disconnected — from ourselves, others, or life. That disconnection can show up in many ways: mood swings, burnout, anger, low mood, people-pleasing, or relationship struggles. You might feel something’s off or like you’ve lost touch with who you are. However it shows up, you’re welcome here — exactly as you are.
I offer a supportive, non-judgmental, empathetic, and honest space to explore what’s going on inside. Together, we can untangle what’s happening, process your previous experiences, reconnect with your sense of self, and move toward lasting change.

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.
