To my ADHD counsellor, Natalie, I am deeply grateful. Over the past year, Natalie has provided a therapeutic environment of safety, warmth and professional insight. Without this, I would be poorer and have continued to deal with ADHD symptoms alone.

She helped me explore and embed essential skills that otherwise would remain in my blind spot. This is still a work in progress, but uniquely for me, Natalie has understood and validated these struggles. Progress in mastering the practicalities of the demands of full-time work, raising two teenage boys, a neurotic dog, and a partner with bipolar disorder inevitably unravels. I would have turned inward to punish or berate myself in the past, but Natalie’s empathy and support are disarming. After talking at our sessions, I feel held heard, and more confident in a way forward. I cannot thank her enough.
