ADHD Counselling & Therapeutic Support for Adults

Living with ADHD (diagnosed or undiagnosed) can feel exhausting. You might be trying hard to keep up with life, but not understand why it takes so much effort. Maybe you overthink, mask how you feel, or struggle with time, motivation or organisation — often blaming yourself for it.

Some people come to therapy after a late diagnosis. Others are still wondering if they might be ADHD and want space to explore what that means.

If this resonates, therapy can help you:

• make sense of why things feel harder than they “should”

• feel less ashamed of coping strategies and burnout

• understand emotional intensity and sensitivity

• reduce masking and self-criticism

• build routines that work for your brain

• feel more confident in relationships, work and daily life

About Me

I’m Fran, a therapeutic counsellor offering sessions in Ludlow and online across the UK. I have a particular interest in supporting adults with ADHD traits or late-identified ADHD. I’m also completing a Certificate in Adult ADHD, informing both the therapeutic and practical aspects of my work.

My Approach

My approach is warm, collaborative and neurodiversity-affirming. You don’t need a diagnosis to start therapy, and you won’t be asked to mask or “try harder.” Therapy can offer space to slow down, understand yourself and find ways of living that feel more supportive for your brain.

I offer a free 15-minute introductory call if you’d like to find out more.

Issues I Work With

Compassionate counselling in Ludlow and online across the UK. Support for anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, identity, and life’s challenges.


Life can feel heavy and challenging at times — especially when you're carrying difficult thoughts, feelings, or experiences on your own.

Here are some of the areas I can support you with.

You don’t need to fit into a box — many of these issues overlap, and we’ll explore what’s most relevant for you.

Anxiety & low mood – feeling on edge, overwhelmed, or just not yourself

Stress, burnout & overwhelm – whether it’s work, caring responsibilities, or life just piling up

Relationship & family difficulties – struggling to feel heard, safe, or valued in relationships

Low self-esteem & self-doubt – feeling “not good enough”, stuck in comparison or self-criticism

Menopause & perimenopause – mood swings, identity changes, brain fog, and feeling unlike yourself

Grief & loss – whether recent or long ago, the pain of losing someone or something important

Trauma & abuse – emotional, physical, or psychological experiences that still impact you

Life transitions – changes in work, relationships, identity or direction that leave you feeling lost or uncertain

Health-related issues – coping with a recent diagnosis, changes in your body, or living with chronic conditions

Navigating neurodiversity – exploring traits or diagnoses like ADHD or autism (diagnosed or suspected)

Whatever you’re feeling is valid. You don’t need to hit a crisis point to deserve

support — therapy is here for whatever feels difficult right now.
