Coastal Path Counselling
ADHD COUNSELLING IN SWANSEA
ADHD affects far more than concentration. It can influence emotions, relationships, motivation, organisation, confidence and how you manage everyday life.
I offer ADHD counselling in Swansea and online across the UK, providing a supportive, neurodivergent-affirming space where you can better understand yourself, reduce self-criticism and explore what works for you.
ADHD Is About More Than Concentration
ADHD can affect attention, motivation, organisation, time awareness, emotional regulation, relationships and self-esteem.
You might appear capable on the outside while using a huge amount of energy to keep everything together.
Counselling gives you space to understand how ADHD affects you personally, rather than relying on stereotypes.
Late ADHD Diagnosis
A diagnosis later in life often brings mixed emotions.
You might feel relief because things finally make sense.
You might also feel grief, anger or frustration when looking back at school, work, relationships or missed opportunities.
Counselling gives you space to explore what the diagnosis means for your identity and how you understand your past.
ADHD and Emotional Regulation
Some adults with ADHD experience emotions intensely.
Criticism might stay with you for hours.
Frustration might rise quickly.
Arguments might replay in your mind.
Counselling helps you understand what triggers these reactions and what helps you respond in ways that feel more manageable.
ADHD Overwhelm and Burnout
Everyday responsibilities can start to feel too much.
Emails, appointments, work, housework, family life and unfinished tasks can all compete for attention.
When everything feels urgent, nothing gets started.
Counselling helps you explore overwhelm, task paralysis, exhaustion and the pressure of constantly trying to keep up.
ADHD Masking
Many adults learn to hide how much they are struggling.
You might appear organised, calm or confident while feeling exhausted inside.
Masking can help you meet expectations, but it also uses a lot of energy.
Therapy offers somewhere you do not need to perform.
ADHD and Self-Esteem
Years of criticism can affect how you see yourself.
You might have heard that you are lazy, disorganised, too much or not reaching your potential.
Over time, those messages can turn into strong beliefs about yourself.
Counselling gives you space to question those beliefs and develop a more balanced understanding of who you are.
ADHD and Rejection
Some adults with ADHD find criticism or rejection especially difficult.
A change in tone, a short message or feedback at work might stay with you for hours.
Counselling helps you explore why certain situations feel so intense and how earlier experiences affect your reactions now.
ADHD and Relationships
ADHD can affect communication, memory, household responsibilities, emotional regulation and intimacy.
One partner might experience forgotten tasks as a lack of care.
The ADHD partner might experience repeated reminders as criticism.
Counselling helps separate the person from the pattern and supports both partners in understanding what is happening between them.
ADHD at Work
ADHD can affect meetings, emails, deadlines, paperwork, time management and prioritising.
You might perform brilliantly under pressure but struggle with routine tasks.
Counselling gives you space to explore confidence, work stress, boundaries and the impact of trying to meet expectations.
My Approach to ADHD Counselling
I work in an integrative and humanistic way, drawing from Person-Centred, Gestalt and Existential approaches.
There is no fixed programme.
Some sessions might focus on relationships.
Others might focus on burnout, work, identity, anxiety or something that happened during the week.
Therapy should fit you rather than forcing you to fit therapy.
A Neurodivergent-Affirming Approach
My approach does not treat ADHD as something that needs fixing.
ADHD can create genuine difficulties.
The aim is to understand those difficulties without turning them into proof that something is wrong with you.
We look at what helps, what drains you, what support you need and how you can work with your brain rather than constantly fighting against it.

Sessions last 50 minutes.
Individual counselling costs £40 per session.
