I work with adults who are ADHD, autistic, AuDHD, late diagnosed, self identifying, or wondering whether neurodivergence explains why life has felt harder than it should. Many come to me with burnout, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, rejection sensitivity, procrastination, people pleasing, masking, low self worth, relationship struggles, or the exhaustion of always trying to keep up. I help clients make sense of their patterns, understand their nervous system, build emotional regulation, reduce self-blame, and develop practical ways forward that fit their real life, work, relationships, energy, capacity, and needs.
I specialise in ADHD, autism, AuDHD, burnout, emotional regulation, rejection sensitivity, anxiety, self worth, masking, people pleasing, procrastination, and relationship patterns. I offer therapy and coaching that is practical, emotionally grounded, and focused on helping you understand yourself, steady your nervous system, and create realistic change.
You may be tired of explaining yourself to people who still don’t quite get it. Maybe you look capable, but inside it feels like chaos, pressure, masking, or burnout. I offer a space where we can say the quiet stuff out loud, make sense of what’s really going on, and find a way forward that actually fits you. Reach out if this sounds familiar.
