About me
ADHD counselling for adults who are tired of pretending they’re fine.
Hi, I’m Jack. I’m a qualified, BACP-registered counsellor, and I have ADHD myself.
I work online with adults across the UK who have diagnosed ADHD, suspected ADHD or ADHD-style struggles. You might be waiting for an assessment, waiting to start medication, newly diagnosed, or simply exhausted from years of trying to hold everything together.
ADHD is not just being distracted, messy or late. It can affect your confidence, relationships, work, money, motivation, emotions and trust in yourself.
You might be dealing with:
- Overwhelm and burnout
- Masking and people-pleasing
- Procrastination and avoidance
- Shame and self-criticism
- Low mood or anxiety
- Impulsive or risky behaviour
- Relationship strain
- Grief after a late diagnosis
- The feeling that life is harder than it should be
Maybe you have spent years blaming yourself for things that now make more sense. Maybe you are trying to work out what ADHD means for your past, your relationships and what happens next.
You do not need to explain ADHD to me before the real conversation can begin.
My way of working is calm, honest and down-to-earth. You can ramble, lose your train of thought, swear, go blank or not know where to start. There is no judgement and no need to be good at therapy.
I offer a free 15-minute introductory chat so you can ask questions and see whether working together feels right. There is no pressure to book anything afterwards.

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.

Additional information
I want counselling to feel accessible rather than like another thing you cannot afford or keep up with.
I offer a limited number of reduced-fee spaces for people on lower incomes and NHS workers. Availability is limited and reduced fees are agreed individually to keep the process fair and manageable.
You are welcome to ask about this during the free 15-minute introductory chat.
Further information
Sessions are held online across the UK and last 50 minutes. The standard fee is £60 per session.
Sessions are usually weekly, although we can discuss what feels realistic and manageable for you. I offer both shorter-term and longer-term counselling, depending on what you need.
Before booking a full session, you can arrange a free 15-minute introductory chat by phone or video.
This is simply a chance to:
Ask any questions
Tell me a little about what is going on
Find out how counselling works
See whether I feel like the right counsellor for you
You only need to share what feels comfortable. There is no hard sell and no pressure to continue.
You do not need a formal ADHD diagnosis to work with me, and you do not need to arrive with a clear explanation of what is wrong. We can start with whatever feels hardest at the moment.
