About me

ADHD therapist specialising in relationships, emotional overwhelm, and mixed neurotype couples and individuals.

If you feel stuck in patterns, overwhelmed by your emotions, or are struggling in a relationship where ADHD is part of the dynamic, you’re not alone.

Some people come to therapy wondering whether they might have ADHD, be autistic, or simply feel they’ve always experienced the world a bit differently, finding social situations harder, feeling overwhelmed, or struggling to “fit in”.

You don’t need a diagnosis to start understanding yourself.

While I don’t provide formal diagnoses, we can take time to understand how your mind works, make sense of long-standing patterns, and find ways of working with yourself that feel more manageable and supportive.

Therapy with me is warm, practical, and straightforward. I’m easy to talk to, and you won’t get buried in jargon.

I work with individuals and couples navigating miscommunication, conflict, and repeating patterns  including mixed-neurotype relationships (ADHD and other forms of neurodivergence).

I’m ADHD myself, late diagnosed, so I bring both professional understanding and lived experience.

I can help with ADHD (including RSD and nervous system overwhelm), emotional overwhelm, anxiety and low mood, addiction, childhood trauma, and family difficulties (including estrangement and boundaries).

My approach is human and grounded. We slow things down, make sense of what’s underneath the pattern, and find practical ways forward without blame, shame, or judgement.

You don’t need a diagnosis to work with me. I offer a free 15-minute chat to see if we’re a good fit.
