Supporting You to Thrive with ADHD – Practical, Holistic, and Compassionate
Counselling & Coaching for ADHD Support
Support to help you live more steadily, more kindly, and more like yourself.
ADHD can be exhausting. It can feel like swimming against the tide while everyone else seems to glide.
You might recognise some of these patterns:
- Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD): feeling criticised or excluded can hit hard and linger.
- Inconsistency: good intentions, patchy follow-through; “all or nothing,” then burn-out.
- Spiralling emotions: overwhelm, frustration, shame, and the urge to escape or shut down.
- Sleep and eating difficulties: late nights, irregular meals, chasing energy, guilt cycles.
- Work and study bumps: brilliant in bursts, stuck in the middle, struggling to start or finish; job hunting or job-keeping feels like an uphill climb.
- Relationships: miscommunications, missed cues, conflict cycles, masking, and feeling “too much” or “not enough.”
- A constant sense of unrealised potential: knowing you’re capable—but feeling held back by invisible barriers.
If this is familiar, you’re not broken—you’re human, and your brain works differently. Together, we can reduce the friction and build a life that fits you.
How I can help
My role is to understand ADHD deeply—how it actually shows up day-to-day—and to offer a grounded, compassionate space to work on what matters most to you. We combine counselling and practical coaching so you leave sessions with insight and usable tools.
We might work on:
Calming emotional spirals and easing RSD triggers
Turning “inconsistent” into “good enough, more often”
Getting started, keeping going, and finishing (without burning out)
Time, planning, and prioritising that match your energy patterns
Building routines for sleep, eating, and daily steadiness
Managing stress, anxiety, low mood, and shame loops
Untangling relationship patterns and improving communication
Clarifying goals and taking small, sustainable steps toward them
Working with hormones (including PMDD or menopause) and their impact on symptoms, if relevant
The ADHD Journey
Working with an ADHD Counsellor & Coach Before Diagnosis
Preparing for assessment can be a powerful step in itself.
Working together before diagnosis can help you:
Reflect clearly on your experiences so you can describe them accurately during assessment
Understand ADHD traits and how they may show up in your life
Manage the anxiety, self-doubt, or imposter feelings that often surface when pursuing a diagnosis
Begin gentle self-support early — creating small wins, routines, and self-compassion before any label or report arrives
This pre-assessment stage is often full of uncertainty and emotion. Having a counsellor and coach who truly understands ADHD can make the process feel grounding, validating, and hopeful — rather than overwhelming.
The ADHD Journey: Common Stages People Move Through
Everyone’s path is unique, and these stages aren’t linear—but many people pass through some of the following:
- Wondering & Noticing
“Why does this keep happening?” Patterns of overwhelm, missed deadlines, sensitivity, or emotional storms raise questions. - Discovery & Naming
You read, talk, or seek assessment. Having a name brings validation—and sometimes grief for what was misunderstood. - Processing & Reframing
You look back with a kinder lens. “Oh… that wasn’t laziness or carelessness.” Shame starts to loosen its grip. - Experimenting with Support
You try strategies, structures, and boundaries that work for your brain—not against it. Trial and error is normal here. - Integration & Self-Advocacy
ADHD becomes part of your story, not the whole of it. You choose environments, routines, and relationships that help you thrive.
Working with an ADHD Counsellor & Coach After Diagnosis
Post-diagnosis can be a deeply transformative period — but it can also stir up confusion, grief, and identity questions.
Support at this stage helps you to:
Make sense of your life story through your new understanding of ADHD
Rebuild self-esteem after years of self-blame
Navigate relationships, work, and boundaries with this fresh awareness
Explore treatment or medication choices with emotional grounding and practical strategies
Learn how to communicate your needs and advocate for yourself with confidence
Translate insight into real-life change — from time management to self-compassion to emotional regulation
Having a specialist ADHD counsellor and coach beside you post-diagnosis can help you bridge the gap between knowing you have ADHD and actually living well with it. It’s a space to integrate, experiment, and grow — safely, steadily, and without judgment.
What sessions are like
Practical and compassionate: you’ll leave with one or two clear next steps.
Tailored to you: we adapt strategies to your strengths, values, culture, and context.
Whole-person focused: we look at home, work, study, health, and relationships together.
Pace that respects your bandwidth: small steps, realistic expectations, and steady encouragement.
If You’re Feeling Stuck in Vicious Cycles
ADHD often creates loops: overwhelm → avoidance → panic → shame → overpromise → overwhelm (repeat).
We’ll map your loops, interrupt them gently, and build alternatives that are simpler to start and easier to maintain.
Expect kindness, accountability that feels safe, and systems you won’t need superhuman willpower to use.
Who I Work With
Adults exploring ADHD or living with a diagnosis; late-identified adults; people juggling work, study, parenting, caring, or life transitions.
I also welcome clients who are unsure whether ADHD is the full picture and simply want steadier rhythms and kinder self-talk.
Next Steps
You don’t have to figure this out alone. If you’d like support that understands ADHD from the inside out—and helps you move from stuck to sustainable—please get in touch.
