A place to start
Maybe you have a diagnosis. Maybe you are still trying to work out why life feels harder than it should.
You are welcome if you are diagnosed, waiting for assessment, newly diagnosed or exploring whether ADHD or AuDHD helps explain your experience.
You do not need a neat story, a diagnosis or a list of goals before reaching out.
This might be you
You understand the pattern, but it still has a hold on you.
02
Diagnosed, but still struggling
The diagnosis explains a lot. It does not automatically make daily life, work or relationships easier.
03
Knowing, but still stuck
You understand the patterns. You need support turning that insight into something workable in real life.
The ADHD Roadmap
Understanding first. Then a way forward.
There is no fixed programme to perform perfectly. This is a flexible framework for making sense of what is happening and finding changes that are possible in real life.
Understand the pattern
What sits beneath the overwhelm, avoidance, anger, shutdown or crash?
Steady the system
We look at capacity, pressure, recovery and what is making everything feel harder.
Build practical support
Simple tools, boundaries and ways of working that have a chance of lasting.
Create a way forward
Bring the pieces together around the life, relationships and work you want.
Working together
Therapy and coaching that fits the person, not a template.
Individual ADHD & AuDHD support
For burnout, emotional overwhelm, masking, shutdown, self-blame, people-pleasing, relationship difficulties and life before or after diagnosis.
Some sessions need space to understand the deeper pattern. Others focus on decisions, boundaries and practical next steps. We find the balance that is useful to you.

When ADHD, different needs or the everyday load are causing friction, we make room for both partners and look at the pattern between you.
Couples work is offered separately from individual counselling.

About Michael
Counselling, coaching and practical understanding.
I am Michael Dodden, an NCPS-registered counsellor and coach based in Norwich. Before this work, I spent 30 years in IT and high-pressure working environments.
I work with the burnout, masking, emotional intensity, shutdown, overthinking and self-blame that can sit behind an outwardly capable life.
You do not need to arrive organised, have the right words or know exactly where to begin.
