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.

Hello and welcome I work with individuals who may be struggling emotionally and finding things difficult to cope with on their own. They might feel overwhelmed, anxious, low, or unsure of themselves, and need a safe space to talk openly without judgement. They want to feel heard, understood, and supported. Their goal is to make sense of how they are feeling, feel more at ease within themselves, and begin to move forward in a way that feels right for them.

You might be struggling with motivation, feeling disconnected from yourself, or unsure why things feel so heavy. Perhaps past experiences or trauma are affecting how you feel now, or you’re navigating relationship difficulties or the emotional impact of health-related challenges. You may be looking for understanding, clarity, and a way forward that feels manageable and meaningful.

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.
