I am a late diagnosed ADHD woman. It became clear that I was ADHD when I realised both my sons were.
I always knew I was different, I just isn’t know how….sound familiar?
I am also experiencing the Perimenopause period of life, I am very close to being officially Menopausal. (This is classed as 12 months since your last period – I’m counting the months!)
I am going through it with the hormonal changes….boy it’s been tough at times.
It is obvious that my ADHD symptoms are more pronounced now, and cause me more challenges. Sound familiar?
I have been supporting women for well over a decade with Shiatsu and now also offering Counselling.
Throughout the female life hormones play such a massive role.
They can impact ADHD, AuADHD and Autism pretty dramatically, most noticeably in puberty and Menopause.
Woman who are ADHD, AuADHD or Autistic can be missed diagnosed, or misunderstood, quite easily.
Often late diagnosed woman have managed, and masked their symptoms, brilliantly.
But often there is a belief that there is something wrong, that they have mental health issues, that they need to do something to change themselves.
The Perimenopausal/ Menopausal period can be super tough. Some women stop being able to function, or work.
Both with Counselling and Shiatsu I can offer support in this challenging time.
Helping client’s understand what might be happening for them and reflecting and processing on their life and experiences.
I work in a cosy cabin, at home, in Exwick, Exeter.
If you aren’t near Exeter or don’t want to travel I offer online appointments.
