ADHD and Neurodiversity Counselling

You might have spent much of your life feeling like you are navigating a world that was not designed for you — and working hard to fit in, to keep up, to seem like everyone else.

Perhaps you have become very good at masking — performing a version of yourself that feels manageable to others, while underneath you feel overwhelmed, exhausted or disconnected from who you really are.

Or perhaps you are beginning to understand that neurodivergence — ADHD, autism, or the experience of navigating both — is part of your story, and you want a space to explore what that means without having to explain or justify yourself into being understood.

How counselling can help

Counselling offers a space where you do not have to perform. Together, we can explore your experiences of ADHD, autism and neurodiversity — how it affects you, how it affects the people around you, and how it shapes your relationships, your sense of identity and your day-to-day life.

My approach is Humanistic Integrative, drawing on person-centred, psychodynamic, attachment-informed, Gestalt, CBT and Jungian techniques. I work collaboratively with you to understand your experiences and find what feels most supportive.

What we might explore

Masking and overwhelm — understanding the cost of performing neurotypical and finding ways to feel more grounded.

Identity — exploring who you are beyond a diagnosis, and how neurodivergence shapes your sense of self.

Relationships — understanding how neurodivergence affects your connections with partners, family, friends and colleagues.

Navigating the world — finding practical ways to work with your neurodivergence rather than against it.
