About Me

Emma Mason, Counsellor, Brunette, Woman, Smiling, Glasses

Life with ADHD can feel exhausting.​

It can feel like you are constantly trying to keep up, wondering why you are playing life on a harder difficulty than everyone else. Maybe you feel this way – constantly overwhelmed, burnt out, stuck in cycles of self-criticism and questioning why, despite trying so hard, things still feel difficult.

Whether you have a diagnosis, suspect you have ADHD or simply recognise yourself in these experiences, you don’t have to keep pushing through life alone.

How I work

I offer online counselling for adults with ADHD (diagnosed or undiagnosed) and neurodivergent traits. Together, we'll make sense of what's been happening, understand the patterns behind your struggles and find practical ways of working with your brain, rather than against it.

My approach is warm, collaborative and tailored to you. I want therapy to feel like a place where you can be yourself, without judgement, while finding realistic ways forward.

A little about me

Alongside my professional training, I also bring lived experience of ADHD and suspected autism. I know how lonely it can feel when you're struggling and it seems like no one really understands what you're experiencing.

That's one of the reasons this work means so much to me. My aim is to offer a space where you feel understood, accepted and don't have to face things on your own.

Getting started

Sessions are available online or by telephone, either weekly or fortnightly, with reminders available if helpful. You don't need a formal ADHD diagnosis to work with me.

If something you've read has resonated with you, I'd be happy to hear from you. Tell me a little about what's bringing you here, and we can take it from there.

You don't have to keep facing this alone.
