I think of ADHD like this…

As well as the standard symptoms that your health care provider will have discussed with you, you may well have a whole range of other things going on for you (some of which are listed here) to a GREATER or LESSER degree. What I mean is that the pieces of the pie might be bigger or smaller depending how ADHD uniquely presents for you.

My role is to help you uncover which elements of your ADHD are dominating your life and then to help you understand why.

AWARENESS is the first step to understanding your ADHD! From there we can collaborate on exploring different strategies to help you cope with these symptoms.

Next steps might be where we explore other areas of your life which might feed into your ADHD symptoms. For example, what triggers your rejection sensitivity? It might be connected to how you were parented, or it could be due to other relational issues.

Whatever your experience with ADHD, I want you to know that I don’t take a “one size fits all” approach. Your experience will be unique and I will take the time to help you uncover not only the challenges you face but the strengths your ADHD can offer you too.

My Story: When my son was diagnosed with ADHD in 2020 I took a course with CAMHS for parents with children with ADHD and, following on from that learning, I then did further CPD and a lot of my own research which helped me understand how to compassionately and empathically support my son with the challenges he faced. Somewhere along this journey I slowly began to realise that I too had experienced much of what I was learning about. I now consider myself a self-diagnosed ADHDer and am patiently awaiting an NHS diagnosis.

If my story or the way I work resonates with you please get in touch. I’d love to work with you!
