ADHD-informed therapy
Most therapy isn't built for ADHD brains. Sessions here are pacy, concrete, and structured so you can actually do something with what we discuss. We focus on the emotional load behind the symptoms — the overwhelm, the shame, the rejection sensitivity — alongside practical strategies.
What this can help with
- ✓Emotional dysregulation
- ✓Overwhelm and shutdown
- ✓Rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD)
- ✓Burnout
- ✓Low self-worth from years of underperforming
- ✓Sleep difficulties
- ✓Time-blindness and procrastination
- ✓Late-diagnosis grief
How sessions are structured
- Step 1
Mapping
We map your specific pattern — what triggers shutdown, where shame lives, what already works.
- Step 2
Regulation skills
Practical, ADHD-friendly tools to settle the nervous system in the moment.
- Step 3
Reframing
Hypnosis and EMDR where useful — to release the layered shame from years of being told you weren't enough.
