Hi, I’m Paul, a counsellor with a particular interest in neurodiversity, anxiety and helping people who feel they have spent too much of their lives trying to fit into expectations that were never designed for them.My approach is neurodiversity-affirming, compassionate and strengths-based. I believe counselling should fit the individual, rather than expecting the individual to fit a rigid model of therapy.I have lived experience of neurodiversity, alongside professional experience supporting young people and adults with autism and a range of neurodivergent needs. This gives me both personal and professional insight into experiences such as masking, burnout, sensory overwhelm, anxiety, low confidence and feeling different or misunderstood.I hold a Postgraduate qualification in Counselling, along with a COSCA Counselling Skills Certificate, an Open Honors Degree in Science and an SVQ Level 3 in Health and Social Care. I am registered with COSCA and continue to undertake professional development to support my work, particularly around neurodiversity, inclusion and professional practice.I work with people experiencing anxiety, stress, burnout and difficulties associated with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia and other neurodivergent experiences. We can explore what is happening in your life, develop practical ways of coping, build confidence and look at how you can create a life that works better for you.Most importantly, I want counselling to be a place where you can be yourself without having to perform or pretend that everything is fine. We work collaboratively, at a pace that feels manageable, focusing on what matters to you and what you would like to change.I offer online counselling nationwide and face-to-face sessions in North Lanarkshire.If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, burnt out or simply want a better understanding of yourself, you’re welcome to get in touch for an initial conversation.

As an North Lanarkshire ADHD specialist, I help women finally understand their brains and thrive with ADHD. Ready to stop feeling overwhelmed and start working with your ADHD brain instead of against it?I offer women-led ADHD assessment and therapy across North Lanarkshire, supporting women who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or held back by self-doubt to build confidence and create lives that genuinely work for their ADHD brain. As a therapist with ADHD and a late diagnosis myself, I understand these challenges first-hand — not just clinically, but personally. My approach combines occupational therapy with CBT-informed strategies to bring clarity, practical tools, and lasting change. I also offer ADHD assessments for insight and validation, recognising how important a clear, compassionate diagnostic process is, particularly for women who may have been overlooked or misdiagnosed earlier in life. Assessment and therapy approachI provide occupational therapy assessments and strategies, integrating CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy) and ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) as part of my ongoing training. I also carry out NICE-compliant ADHD assessments, including the DIVA-5 — a structured, evidence-based diagnostic interview recognised as best practice for adult ADHD diagnosis. Sessions begin with understanding your individual needs and history, then move into practical, goal-focused strategies designed to support everyday life, whether that’s managing executive function challenges, building sustainable routines, or navigating relationships and work with more self-understanding. Who I work withI work with children, adolescents, and adults, offering flexible session formats including face-to-face appointments, video calls, and home visits — whichever suits your circumstances and comfort level best. As a sensory assessment provider, I also support clients who may benefit from a deeper understanding of how sensory processing affects their day-to-day experience alongside ADHD. Alongside ADHD-specific support, I work with a wide range of related areas including anxiety, burnout, career counselling, chronic fatigue syndrome, eating disorders, generalised anxiety, low self-esteem, meltdowns, panic attacks, rejection sensitivity dysphoria, and stress. Many women I work with find that ADHD rarely exists in isolation — it’s often tangled up with these overlapping struggles, and addressing them together leads to more meaningful, lasting change. Sessions and feesI offer a free 20-minute introductory call so we can get a sense of whether we’re a good fit before committing to anything further. My ADHD diagnostic assessment and functional report is £700, with 1:1 therapy sessions priced at £90, or a 10-session block at £810. Student concessions are available, and I regularly run offers and discounts — details of which are kept up to date on my website. Why work with an ADHD specialist who understands ADHD personallyYou don’t have to navigate ADHD challenges alone. As an ADHD specialist in North Lanarkshire with both professional training and lived experience, my approach blends occupational therapy with evidence-based strategies to help you move toward the life you actually want — not a version of yourself forced into neurotypical expectations. Whether you’re seeking a formal diagnosis, post-diagnosis support, or simply want space to be properly understood, I’d welcome you reaching out. If you feel ready to take the next step, book your free introductory consultation today.
