I’m Caoimhe, an ADHD counsellor with ADHD.
I take a holistic approach, tailoring sessions to your unique needs. No two ADHD experiences are the same, so I integrate tools from CBT and IFS to help you work with your brain, not against it. My focus is on self-compassion, understanding your ADHD, and rebuilding confidence and trust in yourself.

I have a specific interest in neurodiversity, specifically ADHD.
Hi, I’m a psychotherapist (BscHons) with a Master’s degree in Social Work and over two decades of experience walking alongside people on their journey towards self-understanding and growth. But beyond the qualifications, I bring something just as important to the therapy room: real, lived experience. I know first that life isn’t always straightforward, and therapy isn’t a quick fix—but if you’re willing to stick with it, deep, lasting change is absolutely possible.

In my private practice I help support young people and adults with issues including anxiety, depression, friendships, family problems, confusion with identity, and support after ADHD diagnosis.
Are you struggling to cope with a significant event or change in your life? Sometimes trying to navigate through life alone can be confusing, and speaking to friends and family can often be too difficult. Talking to a neutral counsellor can provide you with the support you need.

I am an integrative therapist and a member of BACP.

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.
