Whether your experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, abuse, relationship conflicts, difficulties as a result of your neurodiversity ( ADHD, Autism), sexuality, gender, ethnicity, size or religious belief, you'll be offered acceptance and support, never judgment.
Working with clients who feel confused, conflicted or unhappy about who they are, is an area of therapy I am drawn to. Whether as a result of birth; life choice; changes in circumstances or life stage; labelling or perceptions by others; or unresolved events from their past, this can feel an isolating, anxiety- inducing, unsettling and distressing time, it can also feel difficult to stop feeling negatively about yourself, feeling you're to blame. I get it, I really do. I can provide a non-judgemental space for you to explore your inner thoughts, worries, or beliefs that are making life difficult to cope with. A place you can be you.

If you have ADHD (diagnosed or suspected), I understand how it affects relationships and focus.
You replay conversations, second-guess yourself, and feel like you can’t get it right—especially in your relationships. Your partner says you don’t listen, but you’re trying. You’re exhausted from overthinking, walking on eggshells, or stuck in constant arguments. Even when you avoid arguments, things still feel tense.
Left unchecked, stress can spiral into anxiety, low mood, or even depression. If couples therapy feels overwhelming, you’re not alone. Many men prefer to work on their part first—without sitting in a room talking about feelings for hours.

If you struggle with an addiction I will work with you to help you find a way to stop and more importantly, stay stopped. I’m sure you will have heard the words “why don’t you just stop/cut down”. If only it was that simple. Your addiction probably helped or still helps you feel better or takes you away from the feelings you don’t want. If you’re looking for help it’s probably damaging your life in some way now and you’re ready to look for a solution. You have taken the first step, looking for an answer.

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.
