I continue to support my work with CPD with a particular interest in Attachment, ADHD and Bereavement.
I understand how daunting it can be to begin therapy. Whatever you’re struggling with, be it depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship or attachment issues, we can look at the jigsaw pieces of your life together, to help you gain clarity. This may involve exploring the past to identify patterns in emotions and behaviours which shine a light on current issues. You may be grappling with life’s meaning after bereavement or a relationship breakdown. Any kind of loss can have a huge impact on our mental wellbeing. I work with you to help you make sense of things & find meaning and purpose in order to move forward and feel less lost.

My most recent role as the Service Manager of a local Autism/ ADHD family support service has equipped me with additional expertise in supporting neurodiverse clients and their families.
Hello, I am Noeleen, a registered psychotherapist and counsellor offering short and long term support and therapy. I understand how life can present with really painful and challenging issues that can affect so many aspects of life such as work, home, health and relationships. It is really hard to ask for help, but it is one of the best things you can do to start to improve your emotional well being. Stress, grief and trauma can become all consuming, and talking therapy can help to release the pressure and pain you are feeling. I am experienced in helping to ease distress and helping clients see a way forward.

Hi, I’m Lynda, a counsellor based in Rochester. You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or carrying a grief that’s hard to explain. Maybe something has changed in your life, or perhaps it’s been building for a while. I offer a calm, steady space where you don’t have to hold it all alone. We’ll take things at your pace. Sometimes we may sit with what’s heavy; other times, we might begin to gently untangle it. Together, we’ll explore ways to cope and feel more grounded in who you are.

I don’t believe in an “ideal client” in the traditional sense. I’m open to working with adults from a wide range of backgrounds and concerns. What matters most is a collaborative, trusting therapeutic relationship where we can meet as two people and work at a pace that feels right for you. You may feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to name what’s going on. My role is to offer a thoughtful, grounded space to explore your inner world, understand patterns, and support meaningful change. You don’t need to have everything figured out to begin.

I am client-led, I do not offer you advice, but trust that the relationship we develop together will allow you to find what you need. I offer therapy to Adults, Young People and Children (5years plus) and can work creatively.

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.
