“Something Must Be Wrong with Me”
A personal reflection on becoming an ADHD assessor and coach “If you could just listen.” "You're so irresponsible, you never finish anything." You're so bright, if only you'd try harder." Sound familiar? These are the kinds of phrases I’ve heard over and over again from the clients I sit with every week. As a therapist and ADHD coach, I’ve spent years supporting people who come to me struggling with anxiety, low mood, or a sense that they’re somehow “not enough.” And time and
ADHD Assessment Options in Warrington
In the UK, adults can pursue ADHD assessment through either the NHS or a private provider. NHS Referral You can speak to your GP about a referral to an NHS ADHD service. However, waiting lists are often long, sometimes extending to several years. Private ADHD Assessment Private assessment offers a much shorter wait and a more flexible process. Many people choose this route when they need clarity sooner for work, wellbeing, or personal understanding. Private assessments can be
Therapy
The Therapeutic Hierarchy of Needs
A framework for how people grow in therapy when given safety, attunement, and space to unfold. Growth in therapy rarely arrives in fireworks. More often, it appears quietly- in a slower exhale, in a story shared without apology, or in someone speaking from their true self instead of their protected self. Like Maslow's hierarchy of needs, change in therapy often builds in layers, where each stage supports the next. Clients don't tend to rush up this pyramid, but move back and

Sometimes understanding ourselves begins with having language for what we’ve experienced. These are a small selection of resources I often recommend for people wanting to explore trauma, anxiety, nervous system responses, and emotional wellbeing more deeply. Trauma Resources The Rewind Technique Trauma can continue to affect us long after an experience has passed, whether it relates to a single event or a series of experiences over time. It may show up through anxiety, panic,
Finding Your Way Back to Yourself
There’s a moment I see often in therapy- that quiet pause when someone says: "I don't even know who I am anymore." It’s a feeling that can come after burnout, trauma, parenting, an ADHD diagnosis, or simply years of holding everything together. Somewhere along the way, people can lose touch with themselves. They stop hearing their own needs because they've spent so long tuned into everyone else’s. I understand that feeling deeply, both as a counsellor and as a human being. Th
Professional Development
Working Therapeutically With ADHD Clients
ADHD is increasingly recognised in adulthood, yet many therapists and mental health professionals still report feeling uncertain about how it presents in the therapy room and how best to support neurodivergent clients in compassionate, informed ways. Often, ADHD is misunderstood as simply a difficulty with attention or organisation. But for many adults, the experience runs much deeper than that. Many clients arrive in therapy carrying years of criticism, shame, overwhelm, and
Stepping into Private Practice
You don't need a full diary- you need a sustainable practice There's a quiet pressure in this profession to "fill the diary" as quickly as possible. But a full diary isn't the same as a sustainable practice. Many therapists qualify with skill, compassion, and integrity, yet no one really teaches them how to build a working life that protects their energy as well as their income. Thinking about private practice can feel exciting, and also full of quiet questions no one prepare
