Are you looking for support for yourself or your child? I am here to help.
I am here to help. My name is Lucia and I work with clients of all ages.
I understand that being able to name the issue or the goal can be challenging. We often don’t know how we feel and this is even more true for children who are learning to navigate their own wellbeing and the world around them. That is why I work with clients’ needs, even unspoken ones, using various techniques from talking to creative approaches, which can help us understand ourselves and overcome challenges whilst building resilience and confidence.

You might look capable on the outside, but inside you feel everything: the shift in someone’s tone, the tension in a room, the tiny criticism no one else remembers. You overthink, people-please, hold your emotions in, then wonder why your body feels anxious, exhausted, tense or shut down. My work helps you understand what your nervous system has been carrying, loosen the protective patterns, and begin living from your body again.

Life can feel overwhelming at times — as though you are constantly holding things together on the outside while internally feeling anxious, low, stuck, or emotionally exhausted. You may be struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, bereavement, or relationship difficulties, and finding it hard to understand why certain patterns keep repeating or why things no longer feel manageable in the way they once did.
Everyone is unique and there is not a one fits all answer. I will listen and work with you in the way that feels best to reach where you want to be. Together we will help you work through the problem and find yourself.

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.
