You're not overreacting your brain is trying to protect you, to keep you safe from the rejection, embarrassment and all the other difficult feelings.

So you replay, over analyse and try to get everything perfect and you burn yourself out.

This is where I step in!

Overthinking is something I work on with my clients so if you're reading this and thinking "This is me" get in touch to find out more about what I do and how I can help you.

It’s been a while since I’ve introduced myself so Hi, I’m Dempsey! 👋

I’m a therapist who works with Adults, Children and young people, and parents too - especially those navigating big emotions, anxiety, overwhelm and burnout.

My approach isn’t about “fixing” behaviour.
It’s about understanding what’s underneath it, and giving you (and your child) the tools to actually cope, regulate and feel more in control.

When you understand the why, you gain control and everything starts to shift.

If this sounds like you, you’re welcome to message me or give me a call to see if what you’re experiencing is something I can help you with.

Some reactions don’t match the moment
because they belong to moments that were never processed.

That’s what happens when you’ve had to push things down just to cope.

Your feelings aren’t the problem, They’re information.

And maybe it’s time to start listening to them differently.

💬 What’s something you have been holding onto for too long?

You're not "too much"

Low self-esteem isn't always obvious, it's quiet, subtle and internal.

It's not that you're not confident, it's that somewhere along the way you learnt not to trust yourself.

This is something I work on with my clients so if you're reading this and thinking "This is me" get in touch to find out more about what I do and how I can help you.

If you find yourself managing after school meltdowns on a daily basis, and you feel like you're getting nowhere, let me help you.

As a parent, i've been there and as a professional I can help you!

I will work with your child to help them to understand themselves better, find ways to manage the overwhelm and handle big emotions in a calmer and more effective way.

Get in touch to find out more.

If you are knee deep in meltdowns and not sure what needs to change, let me help you!

A lot of what looks like behaviour challenges, is actually a dysregulated nervous system response.

When we understand what's really going on, we can respond in a way that actually helps.

This is the kind of work I support Children and Young People with every day.

If you have ever gone from "I'm about to show up EVERY DAY" to disappearing off your own page for 2 weeks.. then you can relate!

ADHD and social media consistency don't clash because your lazy or unmotivated, it's the perfectionism and the constant pull toward something more exciting that's got you stuck in freeze mode.

So, if you have skipped a few days (or weeks) this is your reminder.. You can come back at any time. no explanation needed.

It doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to be real, raw and authentically YOU!

So let's be honest, are you in your posting era or your disappearing era or somewhere inbetween?

Parents of neurodivergent children… I get you.

You’re running on empty, trying to fill your child’s cup whilst yours feels like it has holes in it.

You’re working so hard to regulate them, whilst holding your own overwhelming emotions.

You’re advocating constantly—fighting for understanding, support, and fairness—whilst feeling the same rage and injustice they feel.

And if you’re neurodivergent too?It can feel like walking across a field full of hidden traps… like everything could erupt at any moment.

This isn’t just hard—it’s exhausting. Draining. Relentless.

But it can also be deeply rewarding, powerful, and even joyful when things begin to click.

You are not alone.

I’m a qualified and experienced therapist working with adults, children, and young people. I’m also ADHD, I feel things deeply, and I’m a parent in the same battlefield every day.

I offer:• Parent support sessions• Adult counselling• Counselling for children and young people

My work is about supporting, educating, and empowering you to feel more confident, regulated, and understood.

If you’re looking for support, reach out—let’s talk. 📱 🗣️

Happy New Year Everyone! 🎉

Listen, You don’t need a rescue plan - You need self-trust!

Investing in yourself isn’t selfish — it’s how you stop abandoning yourself.
Even when you’re scared.
Even when it’s messy.
Even when no one’s clapping yet.

This year isn’t about becoming someone new.
It’s about backing the person you already are. ✨

January really said:
✨ reinvent yourself ✨
🧠 ADHD brain said: I’d like a nap and one achievable task please.

If New Year energy feels overwhelming instead of motivating, this is your reminder:
You’re not behind.
You’re not lazy.
You’re not “doing it wrong.”

ADHD doesn’t need pressure — it needs permission.
Permission to go slower.
Permission to do less.
Permission to build a life that actually works with your nervous system.

This year doesn’t need a glow-up.
It needs support, softness, and systems.

Save this for the days your brain feels too loud.
Share it with someone whose January is also… a lot.

Somebody out there sleeps easier, smiles quicker, or breathes deeper because you exist. Don’t forget that 🩵🙏

If you’re feeling low or having intrusive thoughts about harming yourself, talk to somebody - I know it’s easier said than done, but you deserve to take up space in the world!
