I'm Sarah an integrative counsellor dedicated to helping individuals navigate the complexities of life with compassion, understanding, and personalized care. As someone living with ADHD, I know first-hand the challenges and triumphs that come with embracing your true self. My mission is to support you in finding balance, self-acceptance, and inner peace, no matter where you are on your journey.
Living with ADHD has given me unique insights into the struggles you might face, such as:
Anxiety and Overwhelm: Feeling constantly on edge, battling racing thoughts, and struggling to keep anxiety at bay.
Self-Acceptance: Wrestling with self-doubt, perfectionism, and the pressure to fit into societal norms.
Focus and Productivity: Struggling to stay organized, meet deadlines, and maintain consistency in your personal and professional life.
Emotional Regulation: Finding it challenging to manage intense emotions and maintain healthy relationships.
As an integrative counsellor with the person-centred approach as a foundation, I combine various other therapeutic techniques to create a holistic approach tailored to your unique needs. This might include:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): To help reframe negative thoughts and develop healthier thinking patterns.
Mindfulness and Meditation: Techniques to cultivate present-moment awareness and reduce stress.
Narrative Therapy: Exploring and reshaping the stories you tell about yourself and your experiences.
Solution-Focused Therapy: Identifying and leveraging your strengths to overcome challenges.
Personal Experience: My journey with ADHD allows me to connect with you on a deeper level, offering not just professional guidance but genuine empathy and understanding.
Flexible and Inclusive: I believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can be your authentic self. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, self-acceptance, or emotional regulation, I'm here to help.
Empowerment and Growth: My goal is to empower you to embrace your uniqueness, find your strengths, and achieve personal growth.
I invite you to take the first step towards a more balanced, fulfilling life. Whether you're seeking to manage anxiety, enhance self-acceptance, or improve your focus and productivity, I'm here to support you every step of the way. Together, we can navigate the challenges and celebrate the victories, helping you build a life that reflects your true potential.

Exploring ADHD? Whether it's your own journey or supporting a loved one, things can get pretty overwhelming. You might feel like you're navigating a maze with no map, and let’s be honest, sometimes it feels like the world just doesn’t get it. But here’s the good news: you don’t have to do it alone.
Imagine a place where you’re heard without judgment, where you can unravel those pesky thoughts and feelings that keep tangling up. That’s what counselling offers—a safe, supportive space just for you. As someone who discovered my own ADHD through my close friends diagnosis, I understand the whirlwind of emotions and challenges. I know how crucial it is to have the right support during these times.
Counselling can help you untangle the knots of feeling different, forgetful, or unfocused. It can guide you in letting go of those old messages that make you feel less than enough. Together, we can work on boosting your self-esteem and tackling anxiety and depression that might be holding you back.
I’ve done extensive research especially in the local area of East Leeds and one thing is clear: support is often lacking. The stigma and misunderstandings around ADHD can make the journey even tougher. While I’m not claiming to be the fountain of all knowledge (let’s face it, ADHD is a complex and unique experience for everyone), I know the power of feeling understood and not judged.
Let’s explore what’s going on for you. Whether you’re seeking to understand yourself better or supporting a loved one, I’m here to help you navigate this path and find a way to embrace who you are. Together, we can start the healing process and empower you to live your best life!
