About me
You might be here because you have recently been diagnosed with ADHD, or because something has never quite felt as straightforward as it seems to be for other people.
You may have spent years trying to keep up, wondering why everyday things feel so overwhelming, or being hard on yourself for struggling. You might find yourself overthinking, masking around others, or feeling like you are somehow “too much” or “not enough” at the same time.
If that sounds familiar, you are not alone.
I’m Emma, a counsellor specialising in working with neurodivergent adults, including those with ADHD and autism. I am neurodivergent myself, and I understand how confusing, frustrating, and emotional this experience can be, especially when it is only recognised later in life.
How I work:
I offer a calm, supportive space where you can begin to make sense of your experiences without judgment.
Therapy with me is not about fixing you. Instead, it is about understanding how your mind works, exploring the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and finding ways forward that feel more manageable and more like your own.
We might look at things like overwhelm, burnout, self-criticism, or the impact of masking over time. We can also begin to build ways of coping that genuinely fit you, rather than trying to force yourself into systems that were never designed with you in mind.
My approach
I use an integrative approach, drawing from person-centred, psychodynamic and CBT-informed therapy. This allows me to adapt the way we work depending on what you need.
Sometimes we might focus on what is happening in your life right now. At other times, we may explore past experiences and how they continue to affect you. We may also look at patterns in your thoughts, feelings and behaviours, and gently begin to shift these over time.
I will not tell you what to do, but I will work alongside you to help you understand yourself more clearly and find ways forward that feel possible.
Starting therapy
Reaching out for support can feel like a big step, especially if you are already overwhelmed or unsure where to begin.
You do not need to have everything figured out, and you do not need to explain things perfectly. We will go at your pace.
The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and see whether it feels like a good fit. We will cover a few practical details, but the focus is on you and what has brought you here.
Getting in touch:
If something in this profile resonates with you, you are very welcome to get in touch.
Even if you are unsure, that is okay. A simple message is enough, and we can take it from there.

Member organisations
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.
