Understanding ADHD
ADHD Therapeutic Coaching for Adults, Trauma-Informed, Lived, and Real
Discover a space where your unique experiences are understood and validated. At Counsellor Who Cares, we provide tailored guidance to help you navigate the complexities of ADHD and eating disorders with empathy and expertise.
ADHD, Burnout, and the Pressure to Hold It All Together
You’re not broken.
You’re not lazy.
You’re not too much.
➔ You’re just exhausted from trying to function in a world that wasn’t built for your brain.
I offer ADHD therapeutic coaching with a trauma-informed lens and lived experience at the core.
Whether you’re newly diagnosed, undiagnosed-but-curious, or deep in burnout, this is a space to unmask, slow down, and reset.
This isn’t about “fixing” you.
It’s about helping you work with your brain, not against it.
Is This Coaching Right for You?
Who Benefits from Our Support
“If you’re lying in bed having full-blown conversations in your head about things that happened years ago, you’re not mad. You’re processing.”
➔ It’s quiet.
➔ The house is finally still.
➔ And that’s when the mask drops.
For so many of us with ADHD, the day is spent surviving.
And the night?
That’s when our brain wants to make sense of everything.
This work is about helping you feel less overwhelmed, more in control, and more yourself.
Collaborative Coaching Approach
My Story
I wasn’t diagnosed until adulthood.
I masked. I people-pleased. I overworked.
And still… I felt like I was always behind.
What I now know is that ADHD looks different in women and AFAB people.
It hides in:
-
➔ Perfectionism
-
➔ Emotional dysregulation
-
➔ Food issues and burnout
-
➔ Overthinking and impulsive spending
-
➔ Shame around “not doing enough”
Now, I help others unpick those patterns.
Together, we rebuild safety, self-trust, and structure that fits the real you, not the version you’ve been pretending to be.
Is This Coaching Right for You?
Who Benefits from Our Support
This is for you if:
-
You’re constantly swinging between “hyper-focused” and “can’t do anything”
-
You’re exhausted from masking, holding everything together, or hitting repeat burnout
-
You struggle with time blindness, emotional storms, or shutting down
-
You’ve got a diagnosis (or strong suspicion) but still feel stuck
-
You’re navigating ADHD alongside trauma, anxiety, food struggles or sensory overload
-
You want a space where you don’t have to explain yourself
What We Work On Together
Each session is collaborative, safe, and tailored to you.
Here’s what we often explore:
-
➔ ADHD + emotional regulation (aka meltdown → shame spiral → freeze)
-
➔ Executive dysfunction, overwhelm, and getting unstuck
-
➔ Sleep dysregulation and bedtime procrastination
-
➔ ADHD and food: bingeing, fatigue, impulsive restriction, sensory avoidance
-
➔ Perfectionism, people-pleasing, and self-worth
-
➔ Rejection sensitivity and social fatigue
-
➔ Structure and routine that works for your nervous system
-
➔ Unmasking safely and rebuilding identity
This is gentle, trauma-informed support that sees the whole you, not just the ADHD.
