ADHD Counselling in Whitley Bay
I also bring over 20 years of experience working with neurodivergent individuals, specialising in ADHD and autism coaching (both pre and post diagnosis).
Hi, I’m Cat, a registered therapist with over 15-years of experience supporting people to un-hook from the difficult thoughts, feelings and behaviours that are holding them back so they can live the life they want.
Perhaps you've lost your way. You feel scared, stuck or overwhelmed by anxiety and self-doubt. Everyone around you says you have so much to offer, but you’ve lost that spark of belief and don’t know how to pull yourself out of this rut.
You might have tried other therapists before, but find that nothing out there seems quite right.
Well, with a solution-focused approach akin to life coaching, that's where I come in!

I specialise in working with anxiety, anger, abuse, ADHD, autism, grief, family relationships and others.
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.

We all struggle at some point in our lives and there is benefit in seeking some help to move forwards and get past what is holding us back. Professional psychology sessions can fundamentally change things within a short number of sessions (6-16). I work with people who have any presentation of symptoms, experiences or unexplained ongoing physical or neurological symptoms. I work with trauma - which is what we can be left with following challenging relationships or difficult life events.

I’m a BACP Accredited Integrative counsellor, psychotherapist, supervisor and EMDR practitioner, with over 14 years experience.
Sometimes life can be hard, and it can be difficult to make sense of distressing thoughts and feelings, and recover from painful life events. Often talking to family and friends may be difficult for a number of reasons. This is when it can be helpful to talk to a therapist who is unbiased and separate from your life.
I will provide a safe, confidential space for you, underpinned by a supportive and empathic therapeutic relationship where we can work together on your difficulties.

You might be someone who’s used to holding things together for everyone else - the one people rely on - but underneath, things may not feel so steady. You might feel unseen, unheard, or unsure of yourself even if others see you as strong.
Sometimes these feelings link to major life events, like grief & loss. Or they are familiar patterns - a sense of not quite fitting in, of not feeling fully understood or accepted, low self-esteem, having too many responsibilities, exhaustion.
I can help you deepen your understanding of these patterns and figure out a way forward that recognises & meets your needs, and leads to growth.

I offer a warm, calm, and non-judgemental space where we can explore what is happening at your pace. Together, we can begin to make sense of difficult emotions and experiences, build resilience and find your coping tools.

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.
