Do you tend to feel misunderstood in your relationships, feeling that you are “too much” or “not enough”?
Do you feel constantly exhausted because you are masking to get through each day? Do you lie awake at night with a racing mind, finding it very difficult to relax despite feeling exhausted? I work with people who are feeling overwhelmed, are fed up with not giving themselves a break, or are unsure who they are beneath years of masking. Others are navigating the emotional impact of a new diagnosis or trying to make sense of why life feels harder for them than it seems to be for everyone else.
As a Clinical Psychologist specialising in ADHD, autism, trauma, and chronic pain, I can help you make sense of how these overlapping challenges are impacting your daily life. Having received a diagnosis of ADHD myself at the age of 38, as I have navigated these difficulties myself, I can help you find realistic, practical coping strategies

Is now the right time for therapy?
Deciding to begin therapy is rarely straightforward, and it is entirely natural to feel anxious, hesitant, or protective of yourself when taking that first step. Acknowledging that you may need support often stirs up unexpected vulnerability, fear of being judged, or worry about feeling overwhelmed before an appointment even begins. The “right time” does not require you to feel completely certain, it simply means having enough space and curiosity to explore what you are going through. Whenever you choose to reach out, we will move entirely at your pace, ensuring you remain grounded and in control of the process from the start.
How therapy unfolds here carefully

Our first session is an assessment. I will get to know you better, listen to what brings you here, and work with you to understand your goals for therapy.
