Mental Health & Neurodiversity Support for Individuals
You know something needs to change. You’re just not sure where to start.
Maybe you’re tired. Fed up. Going through the motions but not really present. There’s a feeling you can’t quite shake that something isn’t working, even if you can’t fully explain why.
That’s usually where people start when they come to me.
Together, we unpick it. We explore why you do what you do, build self-awareness, and develop strategies that work for your life, your situation, and your brain, not a one-size-fits-all programme.
I work with clients across the UK online, and in person for those based in Cheshire and the surrounding area.
People often tell me they feel clearer, calmer, and more like themselves again. They understand their strengths better, feel less stuck in negative thinking, and have practical strategies they can continue using long after the sessions end.
People come to me with:
- Anxiety, overwhelm, and low mood
- Neurodiversity and understanding your brain
- Low confidence and self-doubt
- Procrastination and lack of motivation
- Imposter syndrome
- Burnout and emotional exhaustion
- Feeling stuck or unfulfilled
- Life changes and uncertainty

In their Words…
“Andrea is really grounded and supportive in a way which has never felt patronising or clichéd. The approach is practical and responsive. The sessions have helped me focus and prioritise more effectively.”
“I can honestly say that her support has permanently changed my life for the better. With her encouragement, I’ve pursued the support I’ve needed for so long.”
“She is utterly non-judgemental. I know the strategies she suggests make sense and show her understanding of my situation.”
Case studies
The following are composite case studies based on the types of people I work with. They are drawn from real experience but do not represent any single person.
Case Study 1
Maya, early 40s, GP
Maya came to me feeling exhausted and increasingly unlike herself. She had recently received a formal ADHD diagnosis, something that explained a lot about her life, but also raised difficult questions about her identity, her career, and how she had managed to get this far without knowing.
She was still practising, still performing, still holding everything together on the outside. But inside she was trying to unpick what was ADHD, what was burnout, and what was simply who she was.
We worked on what the diagnosis meant for her not just clinically, but personally. How to understand her own brain. What reasonable adjustments might look like in her workplace and how to have that conversation with her employer. What disclosure looked like and who it was safe to tell. How her ADHD had shaped her mental health and her sense of self and how to start separating the two.
Maya left with a much clearer understanding of herself, practical strategies for managing her working life, and for the first time in years a sense that she wasn’t failing. She was just working with the wrong map.
Case study 2 Individual, life transition
David, mid 50s
David came to me at a point where everything that had defined him had shifted. His relationship had ended. His children had left home. A role he had held for years was under pressure. He wasn’t sure who he was anymore or what came next.
Underneath that uncertainty was something he hadn’t spoken about to anyone a pattern with alcohol that had been creeping up on him. Not dramatic. Not what he’d call a problem. But he knew it was becoming a way of managing feelings he hadn’t learned to sit with.
We unpicked where that pattern came from. What it was doing for him. What he wanted his life to look like instead. We worked on his identity who David was outside of the roles he had lost and built practical strategies he could use between sessions.
He didn’t need to be fixed. He needed a safe space to be honest, and someone to help him find his own way forward. That’s what we built together.
Case study 3 — Individual, younger person
Priya, 17
Priya was referred to me after struggling to settle into college following a difficult period in her teens. Anxiety was making it hard to leave the house some days. Her relationships with family were strained. She had experienced trauma that nobody had really helped her process, and low mood had become her baseline.
We started small. Anxiety strategies she could actually use not textbook techniques but things that fit her life and her brain. We worked on her relationships, what she needed from the people around her, and how to communicate that. And gradually we turned towards the future what she wanted, what she was capable of, and the practical steps to get there.
Priya needed someone to believe in her before she could believe in herself. By the time we finished working together she had re-enrolled, had a clearer sense of her own strength, and had started to see her future as something that belonged to her.
