About me
Hello,
I'm Deirdre and thank you for visiting my page.
Are you constantly overwhelmed, struggling to stay organised, putting things off until the last minute, or feeling anxious that you're falling behind?
Many of the adults I work with have ADHD, anxiety, or a combination of both. Some have recently been diagnosed with ADHD, while others have spent years wondering why everyday tasks seem harder for them than for everyone else.
Using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), I help adults understand the patterns keeping them stuck and develop practical strategies that work in real life.
Training, qualifications & experience
My approach combines evidence-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with a warm, collaborative style. Therapy is tailored to your individual needs and goals, helping you develop skills and strategies that create lasting change.
Qualifications and Professional Training:
- BACP Accredited Counsellor (MBACP Accred)
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
- Therapeutic Coaching
- Adult ADHD specialist training
- Ongoing professional development in ADHD, anxiety and wellbeing
I have over a decade of experience supporting adults with anxiety, worry, low confidence, stress, emotional difficulties and ADHD-related challenges in both private practice and healthcare settings.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
