Helping minds flourish

Hello and thank you for visiting my website!

Is this you?

  • “
    Work

    • I know what I need to do but I just can’t start

    • My brain hits a wall when I try to start a task

    • I feel paralysed by simple tasks

    • I lose track of time constantly

    • Deadlines just sneak up on me

    • I can’t tell what’s urgent or important until it’s too late

    • I feel like I’m drowning in tasks

    • I’m constantly busy but nothing gets finished

    • I freeze when I have to prioritise: my brain short-circuits

  • “
    Study

    • Every time I sit down to study, I immediately feel exhausted

    • I can’t concentrate for more than 5 minutes without checking my phone

    • Exams are coming up but I can’t make myself study

    • I can’t study without crying

    • I feel like I’m climbing a mountain with no map

  • “
    Emotional Regulation

    • I go from zero to meltdown in seconds

    • I feel everything too much, too fast

    • I’m constantly apologising for over-reacting

    • One tiny bit of criticism and I spiral

    • I replay conversations for hours, convinced I messed up

  • “
    Daily Life

    • I feel like I’m always disappointing people

    • People think I’m flaky or rude when I forget things

    • I’ve been called lazy my whole life

    • I need someone who understands ADHD specifically

    • I’m drowning in doom piles and shame

    • I feel like I have 50 tabs open and none are playing music

    • I just want to feel like I’m not broken

  • “
    Anxiety

    • I feel like I’m constantly on edge, even when nothing’s wrong

    • My brain won’t shut up – It’s like a constant loop of worst-case scenarios

    • I get symptoms like dizziness, chest tightness and brain zaps, even when I’m not consciously anxious

    • I feel like I’m a car running on empty trying to go 100 mph

    • Is it anxiety or is there something physically wrong with me?

    • Will my anxiety ever go away?

    • Can anxiety kill you?

  • “
    Sleep

    • I’m scared I’ll never feel rested again

    • I feel groggy all day from lack of sleep

    • I feel trapped in exhaustion

    • I just can’t think properly, I’m so tired all the time

    • Will my lack of sleep make me ill?

  • “
    ADHD

    • Do I have ADHD?

    • My ADHD medication helps but I’m still really struggling

    • How do I get assessed for ADHD?
