I’m an ADHDer. I know what it’s like to feel like the world wasn’t quite built for your brain or nervous system!
I work with people who’ve spent years wondering why everything feels harder than it should. Those newly diagnosed, late-diagnosed, or those suspecting they might be neurodivergent and wanting space to explore that. You are all very welcome.
Life has a way of pulling the rug out. Perimenopause. A new baby. Starting college and losing all structure overnight. These can be the turning point moments an ADHD brain finally says “enough.”
If that sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.
For neurodivergent minds that have spent years masking, overcompensating, or shutting down and dealing with a deep sense of shame — IFS can be transformative.
It gently makes sense of the parts of you that have been working so hard to keep you safe. No pathologising. No labels. Just curiosity, compassion, and the gradual return to yourself.
Wherever you are, therapy here is built around you — short-term focus or deeper longer work, it follows your pace.
Not sure if you should pursue an ADHD assessment? I offer a one-off session just for that — a confidential space to think it through with no pressure and no agenda.
Reach out. This space is entirely yours.
