You don't have to work this out on your own
Therapy for adults — ADHD and neurodiversity, anxiety and trauma, work and relationships.
Some people arrive with a clear question. Others just know that something isn't working and can't quite name it. Both are a perfectly good place to start.
Six places people usually start
Pick whichever sounds closest to where you are. Most people find that more than one applies — that's normal, and it doesn't matter which one you start from.

Adult ADHD screening is available here, and is gender-informed. There's a section further down explaining what it involves.
Understanding how your brain works
Neurodiversity recognises that people think, learn and experience the world in different ways. For adults with ADHD, that often means struggling with attention, organisation, emotional regulation and time — while also having genuine strengths that go unrecognised.
Therapy is a collaborative space to understand your own patterns and develop strategies that actually fit your life, rather than strategies designed for someone else's brain.
Hebba brings both professional expertise and lived experience of ADHD to every session.
You might relate if you…
- Feel like you're always playing catch-up, no matter how hard you try
- Start things with great intentions but struggle to follow through
- Find your emotions go from 0 to 100 faster than you'd like
- Have been told you're "smart but inconsistent" your whole life
- Are exhausted from trying to appear more capable than you feel
Areas of support
"The focus is on understanding your brain — and finding approaches that work within your actual everyday life, not an idealised version of it."
— Hebba Morcos, Registered Psychologist
"I always felt different — I just didn't know why."
Many women describe spending years feeling overwhelmed or exhausted without understanding why. ADHD in women is often missed — particularly when difficulties show up internally rather than as visible hyperactivity.
Therapy after a late diagnosis is about making sense of your history, reducing the self-blame that accumulates over years, and building practical strategies for a brain that has simply been misunderstood.
You might relate if you…
- Were told you were "too sensitive" or "too much" growing up
- Have always felt like you're working twice as hard as everyone else
- Recently received an ADHD or autism diagnosis as an adult
- Suspect you may be neurodivergent but haven't been assessed
- Feel a mix of relief, grief and confusion after a late diagnosis
- Masked so successfully that people don't believe you struggle
What therapy focuses on
- Making sense of your history through a neurodivergent lens
- Reducing self-blame accumulated over years of not knowing
- Rebuilding self-esteem and identity after diagnosis
- Practical strategies for your everyday life and environment
- Processing the grief and relief that often come together
- Unmasking safely and building an authentic sense of self
"Getting the right answer, even late, changes how you understand yourself. And that changes everything."
— Hebba Morcos, Registered Psychologist
Thinking about a formal assessment?
If you've been wondering about ADHD for a while, a formal screening can give you the clarity you've been looking for. Assessment here is gender-informed, and takes your own account of your experience seriously.
The written report can be shared with your GP or psychiatrist to support medication consideration and treatment planning.
Fees are discussed individually — get in touch to find out more.
Assessment is relevant if you…
- Need a report to support a psychiatrist referral for medication
- Have a diagnosis that doesn't fully fit your experience
- Notice your symptoms change significantly across the menstrual cycle
- Are seeking workplace or study accommodations
- Have wondered about ADHD for years but never pursued assessment
- Want to better understand your own brain and how it works
Support across all stages of life
Women's wellbeing is shaped by many things — roles, relationships, responsibilities, hormones, expectations. Many women manage competing demands while quietly struggling, often for years, before asking for help.
Therapy is a non-judgemental space to understand what's going on, identify what you need, and build practical strategies that genuinely support your wellbeing — not just help you cope.
You might relate if you…
- Give everything to everyone and have nothing left for yourself
- Are going through a major life change — a new baby, a career shift, an empty nest
- Struggle with self-worth, or feel like you're never quite enough
- Feel pressure to hold everything together while quietly struggling
- Want a space that feels genuinely safe and free from judgement
When worry starts to take over
Anxiety and stress affect everything — sleep, concentration, relationships, your ability to enjoy ordinary things. Some people experience constant worry and overthinking. Others notice it in the body: tension, restlessness, a sense of dread that's hard to pin down.
Although anxiety can feel all-consuming, it usually develops for understandable reasons — shaped by past experience, life circumstances, or ways of coping that made sense once but no longer serve you.
The goal isn't just to feel less anxious. It's to understand yourself well enough that anxiety stops running the show.
You might relate if you…
- Lie awake replaying conversations, or worrying about tomorrow
- Feel tense or on edge even when there's nothing obvious to worry about
- Find it hard to switch off, even at weekends or on holiday
- Avoid situations because of how they make you feel
- Feel exhausted from the mental load of holding everything together
Often worked on
"Rather than focusing only on reducing symptoms, therapy aims to help you understand the patterns underneath — so that change actually sticks."
— Hebba Morcos, Registered Psychologist
When the past still shapes the present
Difficult experiences can keep influencing how we feel, how we relate to people, and how we see ourselves, long after the original event. Trauma can come from a single incident or from repeated experiences over time — difficult childhood experiences, loss, relationship difficulties, or prolonged periods of feeling unsafe.
Its effects aren't always obvious. They can show up as anxiety, emotional sensitivity, difficulty trusting people, feeling disconnected from yourself, or repeating patterns you can't quite explain.
Therapy provides a safe environment where these experiences can be explored carefully — building emotional safety before any deeper work begins. There's no pressure to go faster than you're ready to. The pace is always yours.
You might relate if you…
- React strongly to situations in ways that feel out of proportion
- Find it hard to trust others, or to feel safe in relationships
- Feel numb, disconnected, or like you're going through the motions
- Notice repeating patterns in relationships you can't quite explain
- Carry memories or experiences that still feel raw and very present
- Have been told things are "in the past" but they don't feel that way
Areas of support
- Processing past experiences at your own pace
- Building emotional regulation and coping skills
- Rebuilding trust and safety in relationships
- Understanding grief, loss and life after difficult events
- Reducing emotional reactivity and self-blame
- Developing a stronger, more grounded sense of self
"Safety and trust come first — always. Deeper processing only begins when the foundation is solid enough to hold it."
— Hebba Morcos, Registered Psychologist
Finding your footing through change
Periods of change bring uncertainty, self-doubt and emotional stress. Shifts in work, study, parenting roles or life circumstances can affect confidence, identity and wellbeing. Even positive change creates challenges when you're adjusting to new expectations and responsibilities.
Therapy supports you through transition by building understanding, practical strategies and confidence during uncertainty — so you can move forward with more clarity and purpose.
You might relate if you…
- Feel stuck in a career or role that no longer fits who you are
- Are exhausted and running on empty, but don't know how to stop
- Have gone through a major life change and aren't sure who you are now
- Feel pressure to have it all figured out — but don't
- Want to move forward, but feel paralysed by uncertainty
What therapy can help with
- Clarifying values, goals and what matters most to you
- Managing the emotional impact of change and uncertainty
- Building confidence during times of self-doubt
- Developing practical coping and decision-making strategies
- Supporting adjustment while maintaining wellbeing and balance
Understanding yourself, and the people around you
Relationships have a significant impact on emotional wellbeing and quality of life. Difficulties in communication, boundaries, conflict or repeated patterns can lead to frustration, stress, or feeling disconnected.
Therapy provides a space to explore those patterns and strengthen your understanding of both your own needs and the dynamics between you and others. The aim is to build awareness, communication skills and confidence — so connections feel more honest, safe and fulfilling.
You might relate if you…
- Struggle to say what you need without feeling guilty or selfish
- Find yourself in the same relationship conflicts repeatedly
- Feel lonely even when surrounded by people
- Have difficulty trusting others, or letting people in
- Want to connect more deeply but aren't sure how
What therapy can help with
- Understanding your own patterns in relationships
- Improving communication and expressing needs clearly
- Setting and maintaining healthy boundaries
- Navigating family dynamics and conflict
- Building confidence in social and interpersonal situations
"The aim is to strengthen awareness, communication and confidence within relationships — so that connections feel more honest, safe and fulfilling."
— Coral Psychology
