Neuro-informed Therapy and ADHD Coaching With Inner Strength Therapies
Online Therapy | Ireland & UK
I’m Marian, BACP Psychotherapist with ongoing clinical supervision, providing specialist online therapy across Ireland and the UK.
I’m Marian, I help women online across Ireland and beyond who are burnt out from being the strong one. ADHD, heartbreak, shame, trauma, self-doubt, I’ve lived it too. You don’t have to explain it perfectly. I’ve been there too. I’ll meet you in it, with warmth and honesty.
My approach is trauma-informed, person-centred, and adapted for how your brain actually works, not how traditional therapy assumes it should.

“Marian is not afraid to ask questions, she remembers the small but important details, she celebrates your wins with you and commiserates with you on your losses. She has on more than one occasion crafted beautiful supporting documents for me when there is something that I need extra help with, and as a client with AuDHD I cannot recommend her approach to neurodiversity support highly enough. I wish I could recommend her to every person I love in my life, but what I will say is if you are reading this because you are considering her services, I say without a doubt in my heart that you should absolutely treat yourself to the services of this wonderful therapist.”

“It is not an understatement to say that having Marian on my mental health team has been transformative. She prioritises elements in her work that I find reassuring and helpful when undertaking the hard work that therapy entails.”

“Marian creates a safe space in both word and deed. Aside from the content of the individual sessions, the structure and framework that she builds around her service go a long way to reinforcing that feeling of security. The result is that I feel relaxed coming into our sessions no matter how chaotic the outside world is. It is obvious that Marian gives a lot of weight to her responsibilities as a practitioner. This is someone who goes above and beyond in her professional education, consistently researching new perspectives in the field, especially in places which are relevant to her clients.”

How I workPerson-centred. Trauma-informed. Neuro-affirming.
Person-centred
This means therapy that is built around you, not around a fixed agenda. You get to set the pace, choose what feels most important, and decide what needs attention first.
I do not come in assuming I know what your process should look like. Instead, I stay alongside you, helping you make sense of things in a way that feels collaborative, respectful, and shaped by your actual needs.
Neuro-affirming
I work from the belief that your brain makes sense, even if it has been misunderstood for a long time. Many people have spent years adapting, masking, or trying to appear more settled than they feel inside.
Here, we make space for the ways you actually function, and we build understanding that feels kinder, clearer, and more accurate.
Trauma-informed
A trauma-informed approach recognises how much your body and mind may have had to hold in order to keep you safe. I move gently with that, paying attention to what feels ready, what feels too much, and what needs more steadiness before it can be explored. The work is paced with care so that safety can grow alongside insight.
ND-aware Practical Support
I understand the practical realities that can come with ADHD and other forms of neurodivergence such as the missed bookings, the time blindness, the overwhelm, the masking fatigue, the emotional crash that can follow holding it together for too long. These experiences are not treated as laziness or failure. They are part of the context we work with, so you can spend less energy explaining yourself and more energy getting the support that actually fits.
About MeHi, I'm Marian.
I’m a BACP-registered psychotherapist and ADHD coach. I work exclusively online, across Ireland and the UK, with those navigating late ADHD and AuDHD diagnosis, trauma recovery, and the relational cycles that are hardest to name, let alone leave.
The Why Behind The Way I Work
I was diagnosed with ADHD in my thirties. Before that I was, by external standards, fine. Educated, articulate, writing assessment after assessment, building portfolios, raising two young children as a single mother, all while losing the thread of conversations that had happened that morning, oscillating between days I could take on the world and days I couldn’t lift my head from the pillow without snoozing the alarm five times.
The diagnosis didn’t change my life. It explained it. The relief came first. The grief and the anger came second, in waves, and they took longer to settle than anyone had warned me about.
In my late twenties, I left not one but two abusive relationships. I knew what they were. I had read the books. I had named the dynamic in three other women’s lives before I could see it in my own. I was halfway through a Criminology degree when I fell pregnant with my second child. I was aware of what I was dealing with. I still stayed for longer than I wanted to. Both times. The nervous system understands things the intellect can’t always reach in time.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming.
You might be thinking: “Is my problem even serious enough?”, “What if I don’t know what to say?” or “I should be able to figure this out by myself”
That’s completely normal. You don’t have to explain it perfectly.
If something inside you is hurting or something just doesn’t ‘feel right’, that’s reason enough to reach out.
“I've been speaking with Marian for almost two years now, and she has been such an integral part of my mental health journey. I feel so far from the person I was when I first started seeing her, in the best way - I've grown in confidence, my self-esteem has improved and so much more. She takes a personable, open and friendly approach, disarming her clients immediately and creating a safe space to share. Marian knows when to challenge and uncover patterns or behaviours you might not have necessarily noticed; she is great at coming up with actionable steps together to deal with those issues but manages emotions and feelings sensitively throughout the process. She's always really open to taking feedback on the structure and style of sessions, recognising that your needs change at different points of your therapy journey. Marian is a deeply empathetic person and you can feel that she genuinely cares about her clients as people, which again, makes it much easier to be vulnerable in sessions and get the most out of them. I can't recommend her as a therapist enough.”
