ADHD Therapy and Coach: Chaos to Clarity

Chaos to Clarity

ADHD, overwhelm, focus and organisation challenges in daily life and work

Specialist ADHD therapy and coaching for adults navigating ADHD, burnout and life transitions.

This can affect communication, boundaries and relationships, including feeling misunderstood at times, which can feel isolating.

You may also be living with the impact of a health condition, neurological change, or an unseen disability affecting how you manage day to day.

I work with complexity, where ADHD, health and real-life demands overlap.

ADHD, Overwhelm, Focus and Daily Life

You may be finding it harder to focus, stay organised, or keep up with daily life and work.

Tasks can feel harder to follow through, and responsibilities may start to feel overwhelming.


This can show up as overwhelm, burnout, or difficulty concentrating, and may also affect you at work.


For some, this sits alongside disability or a neurological condition, impacting energy, focus or confidence.

How I Can Support You

With an understanding of these challenges, we can create practical, meaningful changes that support your nervous system.

Together, we can:

• improve focus, organisation and follow-through

• develop emotional awareness and regulation

• reduce overwhelm and mental load

• strengthen how you manage day to day and at work

• build clarity, structure and stability


Support is tailored to your needs, at a pace and structure that feels manageable and sustainable.

Specialist, Structured Support

My work integrates psychodynamic understanding with practical, coaching-informed support, helping us explore both underlying patterns and current challenges.


I bring professional and lived insight into ADHD and neurological conditions, including stroke, and how these affect confidence, identity, daily life and work.


Sessions offer a grounded space to make sense of what’s happening, while supporting practical, sustainable change where ADHD, health and life demands overlap.

Working With Insurance, Workplaces and Organisations

I regularly support clients through health insurance and workplace-funded support. This work is practical, structured and grounded in real workplace demands.

This includes structured, focused work where there is a need to support:

• focus and organisation

• overwhelm and mental load

• managing workplace demands and performance

If you are applying for, or have received Access to Work funding, I provide ADHD coaching to support you at work.

Alongside individual work, I offer consultation to organisations, insurers and case managers seeking to better understand and support individuals with ADHD, neurodiversity, or the impact of health and neurological challenges in the workplace.

What my clients say...

Some frequently asked questions...

Do you work outside of ADHD and trauma?

While my specialism is in ADHD and trauma, I also work with a wide range of other challenges, such as loss, life transitions, Expats and more.

If you’re not sure whether I can help, please feel free to get in touch through the contact form wherever you are in the world. Let me know a little about what’s going on for you, and we can discuss how I may be able to support you or guide you in the right direction.

What happens in the 30-minute psychotherapy introductory call?

During this call, we’ll take some time to discuss what you're hoping to achieve and the goals you'd like to work towards. You’ll also have the chance to ask any questions about my approach, and I’ll explain the key agreements that guide our work, such as confidentiality.

This is a great opportunity to see if we’re a good fit, and to talk through any questions you might have, including the fee.

If you feel ready to move forward, we’ll schedule a 90-minute initial session. Ahead of our meeting, I’ll ask you to complete an Initial Assessment Form with some basic contact details. From there, we’re all set to begin our work together. Request your introductory call.

What Is an Initial Session?

An initial psychotherapy session is a space for us to explore what’s bringing you to therapy and what you hope to achieve. We’ll talk about your current challenges, personal history, and any goals you have in mind. It’s also an opportunity for you to ask questions about how I work and decide if therapy feels right for you. Together, we’ll begin to build a foundation of trust and outline the next steps in your journey.

The initial assessment helps us determine whether therapy is the right path for you or if coaching might be a better fit. We’ll also discuss if you're ready to begin the therapeutic process and make sure we’re aligned in how we approach the work together.

Above all, this is your opportunity to feel heard, ask any questions, and ensure you're comfortable with the next steps. There’s no obligation to commit right away. You’re welcome to take some time to reflect on the session and speak with other therapists if you feel it’s necessary before making your decision.

What can I expect from therapy/coaching sessions?

Therapy: In therapy, we’ll create a safe, supportive space where you can explore your feelings, challenges, and past experiences. Over time, we’ll work together to understand the root causes of your struggles and develop lasting change. We’ll regularly review your progress every few weeks to ensure the work feels right for you and adjust as needed.

Coaching: Coaching is centred around setting and achieving your personal goals. Each session begins with a review of your progress and the steps you’ve taken toward your goals. We’ll also check if any adjustments are needed to ensure you're on track. The focus is on clarity, actionable steps, and moving forward in a way that aligns with the life you want to create.

How do I know if I’m making progress in therapy/coaching?

Therapy: Progress in therapy can often be subtle and unfold gradually. It may show in various ways—such as feeling more in control of your emotions, experiencing healthier relationships, or gaining a deeper understanding of past experiences. Every few weeks, we’ll take time to reflect on your progress and make sure you feel supported and on the right path.

Coaching: In coaching, progress is typically measured by how well you’re achieving the goals you’ve set. During each session, we’ll review your action steps and check in on how things are going. If the goals you have set are your focus. If you’re making strides toward your desired outcomes, you’re moving in the right direction.

How long are therapy and coaching sessions?

Here’s a breakdown of session lengths:

Initial Session: 90 minutes

Individual Counselling/Psychotherapy: 60 minutes

Individual Coaching: 60 minutes

Couples Therapy: 90 minutes

These time frames are designed to provide ample space for us to explore your concerns and make meaningful progress together.

Do you follow any professional codes of practice?

Yes, I am BACP Senior Accredited and I abide by their Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions as well as for coaching.

Is there a particular theory or technique you use for therapy?

I am Psychodynamically trained, which means I often explore how past experiences may be influencing your present thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. However, I take a pluralistic approach to therapy, tailoring my methods to suit your unique needs and goals. Alongside my psychodynamic foundation, I draw on extensive training in trauma, coaching, NLP, and holistic practices to provide a flexible and integrative approach. My aim is to create a therapy experience that feels aligned and effective for you.

Do you work online?

Yes, I offer online sessions to make therapy accessible and convenient, no matter where you are. This allows us to connect in a comfortable and private space that works best for you.

Do you work with couples online?

While I have experience working with couples, I do not currently offer therapy, coaching or mentoring for couples. My focus is on supporting individuals in their therapeutic journeys.

Do you work internationally?

My diverse experience has developed working internationally with expat communities around the world. It doesn’t matter where you live, we can connect virtually via Zoom, Skype, or WhatsApp video.

Do you work with children?

While I have experience working with children through organisations like The Place to Be in school settings, I do not currently offer therapy for young people under 20 years old. My focus is on supporting adults and couples in their therapeutic journeys.

What’s the difference between coaching and therapy?

Both coaching and therapy support personal growth, but they approach it in different ways.

Therapy focuses on understanding how past experiences have shaped who you are today. It’s about exploring emotional challenges, such as trauma or past hurts, and working through them to heal and move forward.

Coaching, on the other hand, is focused on where you want to go. It’s future-oriented, helping you set goals, identify what you want to change, and take actionable steps towards creating the life you desire. Coaching is non-directive, meaning you lead the way with guidance and powerful questions to uncover your own insights and solutions.

While therapy supports emotional healing, coaching helps you create positive change and take proactive steps forward. Both can complement each other, and I’m happy to explore which approach might be the best fit for you.

What is a coaching discovery call?

A coaching discovery call is a relaxed, no-obligation conversation where we can get to know each other and explore whether coaching is the right fit for you. During this call, we’ll discuss where you are now, what you’d like to achieve, and any challenges you're facing. It’s also an opportunity for you to ask questions about how coaching can help you make positive changes in your life.

The goal of this call is to ensure that coaching feels like the right next step for you. This is important to ensure that you feel comfortable and supported throughout the coaching process. A discovery call gives us an opportunity to see if we are the right fit to work together.

Do I have to attend therapy or coaching every week?

Therapy:

In therapy, the frequency of sessions will depend on your individual needs. Weekly sessions at the start can help build trust and provide consistent support, especially if you're working through complex emotions or trauma. As we progress, we can reassess together whether bi-weekly sessions may be more suitable. Some people may benefit from more time between sessions to reflect and process. For trauma work, weekly sessions are often recommended for the first 12 weeks. We can review the pace around this time.

Coaching:

Coaching is more flexible in terms of scheduling. Many clients choose to book a block of 6 sessions, which we can adjust based on your needs and goals. Sessions can be weekly, bi-weekly, or even monthly, depending on what feels best for you. The focus is on your growth, and we’ll regularly check in to ensure the rhythm of our sessions is helping you move forward.
