Hello. My name is Paul, and thank you for checking out this page. I am an ADHD therapist with lived experience of neurodiversity, both personally and within my family. My long-standing hyperfocus has been understanding mental health, trauma, and the nervous system. I have over 15 years of experience working therapeutically across charities, the NHS, and private practice, supporting people with anxiety, trauma, emotional dysregulation, burnout, dissociation, and the impact of living for years in environments that have not fitted with how their brain works.
Alongside my clinical experience, I am an EMDR consultant/supervisor and accredited psychotherapist, offering a neuroinformed approach that recognises that healing often begins when we stop trying to force ourselves into systems that were not designed for us.
My work is collaborative, flexible, and adapted to the individual rather than expecting you to fit into a rigid therapeutic model. Many neurodivergent people have spent years feeling that they are too much, too distracted, too sensitive, or somehow failing at things that seem easier for others. Therapy should not become another place where that happens.
Sessions with me allow space to slow things down, make sense of long-standing patterns, and understand what sits underneath overwhelm, procrastination, shutdown, masking, emotional dysregulation, and burnout.
Alongside talking therapy, I am trained in EMDR, which can be particularly helpful where ADHD or neurodivergent experiences overlap with trauma, chronic stress, difficult school experiences, family criticism, or years of internalised shame. I also draw from Gestalt and Person-Centred psychotherapy, helping clients recognise recurring emotional cycles, build self-awareness, and develop healthier ways of responding to stress and internal pressure.
My aim is not to teach you how to become less yourself, but to help you understand your brain, regulate your nervous system, and build a life that works with you rather than constantly against you.
