the adhd counsellor

a specialist service for adhd and neurodiverse individuals and couples affected by neurodiversity.

To introduce myself – I’m a counsellor specialising in working with ADHD clients and the challenges which come with navigating diagnosis, whether that be the emotional impact, the difficulty in reframing your past, present and future, and the difficult and often drawn-out experience of waiting for assessment, assessment itself, diagnosis, treatment, and medication. I am diagnosed combined-type ADHD and have found my own process of diagnosis enormously beneficial to my work and a giant leap in having a better understanding of my sense of self.

Trained in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, my practice has developed to emphasise the relationship between therapist and client to create a safe and understanding environment free from judgement, in which your presenting issues can be explored and better understood. My training allows me to work with ADHD and non-ADHD clients alike, and I work extensively with clients with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, self-esteem, addiction, and repeating patterns of behaviour you’d like to change.

In thousands of hours across individual, couples and group sessions, I have developed an effective way of working with ADHD people which doesn’t pathologise the condition, and considers the entire self rather than working symptomatically or reducing people to a set of stereotypes. I endeavour to work in a way which does not pathologise any protected characteristic such as sexuality, race, religion, disability, or gender identity or expression.

In response to overwhelming client demand, in 2024 I began offering couples counselling designed to help foster communication between neurodiverse couples through psychoeducation, mediation, and the establishment of structures which offer a platform for couples going forward. The response has been overwhelming, and has only highlighted further the need for specialist support.

In addition to my counselling work, I am currently writing a book about the emotional experience of adult ADHD diagnosis, and I can be found talking about the condition in numerous magazine articles and podcasts.

I work from my home in Whetstone, London and offer sessions five days a week either in-person or online via Zoom or Microsoft Teams. My standard fee for individual sessions is £100, and sessions with couples start from £160, payable by bank transfer, credit or debit card, or Apple or Google Pay.
