Are you someone who has spent much of their life feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or quietly struggling while appearing to cope on the outside? Maybe diagnosed with ADHD later in life, questioning whether ADHD fits for you, or just beginning to recognise yourself in descriptions of neurodiversity. Many people I work with feel exhausted by self-doubt, masking, and repeating patterns that no longer serve them. Having the space to talk about anxiety, low mood, emotional overwhelm, or a sense of being stuck in a cycle of overthinking, people-pleasing, or burnout. I am here for you to be seen and heard.
My role is to support you in seeing more clearly what is happening for you now and the situation, always with curiosity, compassion, and respect. Together, we explore your thoughts, feelings, and bodily experiences in the present moment, helping you develop greater awareness, choice, and self-understanding.
If you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or questioning why life feels harder than it should, you do not have to face it alone. I can provide a space to slow down, make sense of your experience, and feel truly understood. If this resonates, I invite you to reach out when you feel ready.

Her approach to others is relaxed but present. Helen works really well with neurodiverse clients, showing real patience, understanding and flexibility in how she connects and communicates. That acceptance really helps create a safe, inclusive space.
