When You’re Carrying More Than You Realise!

So many people are feeling stretched thin at the moment . Relationship strain, anxiety, grief, burnout, the pressure to “hold it all together.” It can creep up quietly until everything feels heavier than it should.

If that’s you, you’re not alone.

In my counselling work, I support adults navigating:

• Difficult or confusing relationship dynamics
• Anxiety and emotional overwhelm
• Bereavement and life transitions
• Trauma and long‑held patterns
• Neurodiversity‑related stress and masking fatigue
• The impact of domestic abuse

I offer a calm, grounded space where you don’t have to perform or explain everything at once. We move gently, at your pace, making sense of what’s happening and finding steadier ground together.

If something in your life feels too much right now, you’re welcome to reach out. Support can start with a single conversation.

The Keep Britain Working report is a step in the right direction to address rising rates of sickness absence and health-related economic inactivity.

We’re pleased to see the strong focus on prevention, early intervention and employer responsibility.

To ensure lasting change, counselling and psychotherapy must be integral to any national response and not a peripheral add-on.

Great news!

Today NHS England have announced a taskforce on ADHD. This is a big deal and we're celebrating this announcement. We have a hope we didn't have and it is wonderful.

Until very recently NHS England didn't even have a single individual with responsibility for ADHD so to have them announce a task force to 'develop a national ADHD data improvement plan' is a glorious tectonic change. There are 2.6million people with ADHD In the UK and we have huge regional disparities in care - waitlists for adults range from 12 weeks to 10.5 years, and waitlists for children ranging from 5 weeks to 5 years. Entire life trajectories are altered by the waitlists for ADHD care. Lives are being ruined and lost in the current status quo. This taskforce represents the potential for the revolutionary change that is crucially needed.

We fight so hard every single day to positively change what it means to have ADHD in the UK. It can be easy to get lost in the challenge, to get despondent from the prejudice and stigma we suffer, it is important to celebrate these moments of significance. Tonight we pause to take a moment of happiness.

But it is important to note this is NHS England. Every single metric for ADHD care is worse in Scotland, worse in Wales and worse in Northern Ireland. So the question to NHS Scotland, NHS Wales and to Health and Social Care Northern Ireland is where are you? What are you doing for your ADHD patients? There is real need and we'd like to celebrate much-needed progress with you too.

When you’ve been diagnosed with ADHD!

For many adults this can come as a relief after years of visiting a GP, being prescribed different medications for anxiety and depression and then finally that moment when you get a diagnosis!!

It’s not always the case though! Being told you have ADHD may bring a sense of confusion, fear, anger, anxiety, loss of identity and of the future.

Speaking with a counsellor can help you to make sense of your emotions and explore new ways of moving forward with your life.

If you wish to talk about your diagnosis or indeed any life changing diagnosis please feel free to contact me to arrange an initial chat and to book an appointment.
