Counselling helps you explore your thoughts, feelings, and patterns, supporting greater self-understanding. ADHD coaching focuses on positive change, including coming to terms with a diagnosis, understanding how ADHD affects your life, building self-esteem, and finding ways to thrive. Many clients benefit from a blend of both, which I like to think of as therapeutic coaching.

Yes. Sessions can be tailored to include both reflective, therapeutic work and practical coaching strategies. This combination supports both emotional insight and real-world progress.

No. Many clients relate to ADHD or neurodivergent traits without a formal diagnosis. You’re welcome whether you’re exploring, have traits, or have a confirmed diagnosis.

The introductory package includes Six online sessions for £295 (normally £380), available for a limited time. Sessions focus on self-understanding, confidence, routines, and discovering ways to thrive. You’ll also benefit from the therapeutic side of counselling, supporting self-esteem, challenging unhelpful beliefs, and finding a way that works for you.

Both counselling and ADHD coaching sessions are up to 60 minutes each.

The level of parental involvement varies based on the child's unique needs, the challenges they're facing, and their age. Counselling sessions with the child remain confidential, but with the child's consent, I may share relevant information with parents. This allows parents to gain insight into their child's progress and the therapeutic strategies being used. We can work together to decide on the appropriate frequency of check ins based on the child's requirements and progress. These conversations are an opportunity to exchange observations, discuss the child's emotional development, and collaboratively create strategies to support their well-being. By finding the right balance, we ensure that the child receives the support they need while respecting their autonomy and the family's dynamics.

While confidentiality is a cornerstone of the counselling process, transparency with parents or caregivers is also essential, especially when working with children and young people. In general, what your child discusses in sessions remains confidential between them and the counsellor to create a safe space for open dialogue. However, I also value involving parents in the process, especially in understanding progress and providing support at home. It's a collaborative decision that can be tailored to your child's age, needs, and comfort level.

It's not uncommon for young individuals to feel more comfortable expressing their thoughts and emotions to a neutral third party, like a counsellor. While your relationship with your child is crucial, speaking to a counsellor offers them a confidential space where they can openly discuss their feelings without fear of judgment or causing worry. Counsellors are trained to create a safe environment, and their expertise in communication techniques allows young people to share their concerns more freely. Remember, it doesn't diminish your role; it's an additional support that can help your child navigate challenges effectively. As your child builds trust and learns coping strategies through counselling, they may also find it easier to communicate with you over time.
