About me

Hello there!

I'm Angela and I’m a counsellor and psychotherapist with a special interest in ADHD.

I was born and brought up on the Moray coast and have lived here almost my whole life.  I absolutely love my work, but when I’m not supporting humans you’ll maybe find me in the garden, or curled up with a coffee reading, or knitting/crocheting, or out on the hills with my dogs.  I seldom stay still for long.

Not gonna lie, I was a little late to the party with my own spiky neurotype.  Given that I've worked with families and children/teens with ADHD, apparently I didn't recognise it in myself until a family member made a comment, and a lecture at university came back to haunt me.   I fully understand the challenges of having a brain that's different.  The rollercoaster of emotions and the constant feeling of not fitting in are realities I understand all too well.  Looking back over my life I experience lightbulb moments and can now clearly see what was going on for me.  I can't change the past.  Realising that everything you thought you knew about yourself has been turned on its head takes a minute to fully digest; that grieving process is full of weird feelings and can take a bit of navigating.  I've been through it; still going through it.  It's tough, and learning to be kind to myself really helped.  

Today, I'm an advocate for neurodiversity and have a passion for supporting and enabling people with ADHD/AuDHD to realise their potential.  I also work closely with families whose children come under the neurodivergent umbrella.
