ADHD and Trauma Therapy (Adults)
I’ve come to understand how ADHD and trauma frequently overlap, bringing shared struggles: sleepless nights, inner and outer chaos, and difficulties with focus, motivation, and maintaining energy. Burnout often signals the need to slow down.
Living with trauma ,ADHD or both in many cases is complex. Symptoms that come with either can take over daily life? With 23 years of trauma-informed therapy experience, I’m here to help you reclaim clarity amidst the chaos, find balance, and make lasting changes.
ADHD is a lifelong journey of self-awareness, often requiring us to connect with parts of ourselves that can feel out of reach. I often hear individuals share, “I don’t belong, I feel different,” or “I’m trying, but no one understands me.” Trauma can deepen this feeling of disconnection, leaving us distanced from ourselves (and from others ), experiencing apathy, depression, anxiety, burnout, or a negative mindset.
The heart of my work is helping you thrive. Whether you’ve been officially diagnosed with ADHD, self-identified, or suspect you have it, and whether you’re dealing with past or recent trauma, recognising your unique journey is the first step towards healing. We’ll explore practical approaches to help you navigate your challenges and create positive change in your life. My goal is to support you in finding safety and strength in your most authentic self.
I work with a range of approaches, including psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness, coaching, holistic and intergenerational trauma work, to create a therapy experience tailored to you.
Sessions are available in person and online. They provide a confidential, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feel truly heard and understood.
Therapeutic ADHD Coaching (Adults)
My therapeutic ADHD coaching blends years of therapy experience with a practical coaching approach, creating a safe, supportive space to work through present challenges. Together, we’ll explore patterns or obstacles that may be holding you back and develop a clear, step-by-step plan to help you reach your goals.
Our sessions offer more than immediate support—they’re a chance to clarify your goals, build resilience, and develop skills that bring greater confidence and purpose to your daily life. Whether your focus is on improving relationships, enhancing well-being, or working through specific challenges, we’ll move forward at a pace that feels right for you, with no set number of sessions required.
For clients navigating trauma, therapy sessions are recommended, as these allow us to engage in the deeper emotional work trauma recovery requires. Coaching sessions focus on practical strategies and are best suited for managing ADHD challenges and working toward personal goals.
ADHD Mentoring (Adults)
Navigating the nuances of ADHD, whether as an adult or a parent supporting a child, often requires more than just clinical insight; it demands lived experience and practical guidance.
My mentoring work offers a focused partnership to tackle the day-to-day complexities of life with ADHD. This is a chance to move beyond theoretical understanding and build specific, actionable skills for better time management, organisation, communication, and self-advocacy.
By drawing on my experience, during our sessions, you gain a trusted guide who can normalise your struggles, celebrate your unique strengths, and help you forge a path toward a more ordered and confident life.
Mentoring is ideal for adults looking to optimize their daily life and for parents seeking strategies to support their child's unique needs, development, and school journey. These sessions are designed to be flexible and highly collaborative. Whether you choose to meet in-person or online, we focus on creating tailored systems and routines that respect your individual challenges and goals, moving you from feeling stuck to feeling capable and confident in managing the rhythm of life with ADHD.
