Psychological Support
for Women
welcome
Many of the women who find their way to myturn2talk Psychology have spent years putting everyone else first. They arrive feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, anxious or simply unlike themselves. Some are beginning to question whether ADHD, autism or AuDHD has been part of their story all along.
Others are navigating the unexpected emotional and psychological changes of perimenopause or menopause. Many are discovering that these experiences overlap in ways they never imagined.
Whatever has brought you here, therapy offers a place to pause, make sense of your experiences and begin moving forward with greater understanding and self-compassion. My approach is warm, collaborative and neuro-affirming, providing practical support tailored to your unique strengths, challenges and goals.
What we talk about:
ADHD, Autism & AuDHD in Women
When understanding yourself changes everything.
For many women, neurodivergence has gone unnoticed for decades.
Rather than appearing outwardly hyperactive or obviously different, many learned to mask their difficulties, work twice as hard to keep up, and quietly carry the emotional cost. You may have been labelled "too sensitive", "too much", "disorganised" or "perfectionistic" without anyone recognising the underlying reason.
Whether you've recently received a diagnosis, are beginning to question whether ADHD or autism might explain your lifelong experiences, or simply want support from someone who understands neurodivergence, therapy can help you better understand yourself, reduce self-criticism and develop strategies that work with your brain rather than against it.
Menopause & Perimenopause
You're not imagining it. You're not losing yourself..
Perimenopause and menopause are about far more than hormones. They can affect mood, memory, sleep, confidence, relationships and your sense of identity. Many women describe feeling as though they've suddenly become someone they don't recognise.
This stage of life can also coincide with caring responsibilities, career demands and significant life transitions, making it difficult to know where normal stress ends and menopause begins. Therapy provides a supportive space to understand these changes, develop practical coping strategies and reconnect with yourself with compassion rather than judgement.
Whether your challenges relate to menopause, neurodivergence, or both, you don't have to navigate them alone. Together, we'll work towards helping you feel more like yourself again.
Supporting Woman through Midlife Transition
Whether you're navigating menopause, exploring a possible diagnosis of ADHD or autism, recovering from burnout, or simply feeling unlike yourself, therapy offers a supportive space to understand better what's happening and develop practical strategies that work for you.
Our work may include:
Understanding What's Happening
We'll begin by exploring your experiences, identifying the factors contributing to how you're feeling, and developing a shared understanding of the impact menopause, ADHD, autism or burnout may be having on your emotional wellbeing, thinking, relationships and daily life. Together, we'll establish meaningful goals that reflect what matters most to you.
Finding Stability Again
As your understanding grows, we'll focus on practical strategies to help you feel more settled. This may include managing anxiety, improving sleep, strengthening emotional regulation, reducing stress, recovering from burnout and developing healthier ways of responding to life's challenges.
Rebuilding Confidence
Many women describe this stage of life as a period of significant change. Therapy provides an opportunity to reconnect with yourself, rebuild confidence, strengthen relationships, improve executive functioning where needed, and develop greater self-compassion as you adjust to changing circumstances.
Looking Ahead
Ultimately, therapy is about helping you move beyond simply coping. Together we'll explore your values, identify what gives your life meaning and purpose, support healthy ageing, and develop practical strategies that promote long-term emotional wellbeing and resilience.
Whether you're navigating the changes of menopause, exploring ADHD or autism later in life, or seeking support for burnout and emotional wellbeing, my aim is to provide compassionate, evidence-based psychological support to help you better understand yourself and feel more like yourself again.
