So many people I meet come to counselling feeling like life is simply too much. Maybe work is exhausting and you鈥檙e not sure why, maybe relationships leave you drained or frustrated, or maybe you just feel鈥� lost. And often, there鈥檚 a deeper ache too, a sense that something from early on, like having a dad who wasn鈥檛 fully there, left a mark you carry without even realising it.

People often tell me, 鈥淵ou鈥檝e asked me questions I鈥檝e never been asked before.鈥� Sometimes that brings a moment of 鈥渙h鈥� that makes so much sense鈥� and sometimes it鈥檚 silence as things finally click into place. Those moments can be powerful, because they help you see that many of the patterns you鈥檝e been living with originate from somewhere or somebody. They were ways you learned to survive, and they can be understood and gently changed.

I work relationally, which means what happens between us can offer insight into how you relate to others, and how you relate to yourself. If you鈥檙e feeling anxious, burnt out, carrying unacknowledged grief, or simply tired of holding everything together, this can be a space where you don鈥檛 have to perform or have it all figured out.

You might also be wondering about ADHD. I work with many women who were diagnosed later in life, as well as those who suspect it but have never had the space to explore it properly. I can鈥檛 diagnose, but I鈥檓 aware of how neurodivergence can present itself. I may bring it into our work if it feels helpful.

Maybe you鈥檝e tried many of the coping tools and strategies that work for others, think mindfulness, or meditation. Whilst they can be helpful, for an ADHD brain they can sometimes feel frustrating or uncomfortable. If your mind won鈥檛 settle and you come away feeling more exhausted than before, it isn鈥檛 because you鈥檙e failing, it鈥檚 just ADHD brains often rest and regulate differently. Together, we might explore gentler, more realistic ways of regulating, such as active rest, things like yoga, crocheting, knitting, colouring, or other low-effort activities that allow your mind and body to slow down without pressure. You鈥檙e not being lazy; you just may not have been given the right support or understanding to work with your brain, rather than against it.

You can start by sending me an email. We鈥檒l arrange a free 15-minute introductory chat so you can get a feel for whether we鈥檇 be a good fit and decide if it feels right for you. After that, you can take time to reflect, and if you choose to continue, we鈥檒l book your first session and begin, at your own pace. 

I understand that starting therapy can feel like a big step, so I aim to create a space that feels safe, collaborative, and at your pace. There is no expectation to share everything straight away. We will gently discuss your current concerns, relevant background, and if appropriate, we can begin to think about goals for therapy, though this can evolve over time.

My standard session fee applies unless otherwise agreed in advance. If you have any questions or need adjustments to make therapy more accessible, you are welcome to discuss this with me.
