How We Can Support You.
At Axis Within Psychology, support is tailored to the individual experiences, goals, and circumstances of each woman.
Some clients seek support for a specific concern, while others are trying to make sense of long-standing patterns of anxiety, burnout, overwhelm, ADHD-related challenges, perfectionism, emotional eating, or the increasing mental load of modern life.
Therapy is collaborative, practical, and evidence-based, helping you better understand what is contributing to your difficulties while developing strategies that support meaningful and sustainable change.
Areas of Support.
High-Functioning Anxiety, Burnout & Emotional Overwhelm
Many women seeking support continue to function at a high level externally while privately struggling with chronic stress, emotional exhaustion, overthinking, perfectionism, or the sense that they are carrying too much for too long.
Together, we explore the factors contributing to overwhelm and develop practical strategies to help life feel more manageable and sustainable.
Areas of focus may include:
High-functioning anxiety and chronic worry
Burnout and emotional exhaustion
Perfectionism and people-pleasing
Emotional regulation difficulties
Chronic stress and mental load
Identity changes and major life transitions
ADHD Support for Women
ADHD in women is often overlooked, particularly in women who have spent years working hard to stay organised, meet expectations, and manage competing demands.
Many women seek support when they notice increasing difficulties with organisation, emotional regulation, overwhelm, task initiation, or maintaining the systems that once helped them cope.
Therapy focuses on understanding your unique strengths and challenges while developing practical strategies that support day-to-day functioning.
Areas of focus may include:
Executive functioning difficulties
Emotional regulation
Overwhelm and mental fatigue
Organisation and routine building
Perfectionism and self-criticism
Sustainable lifestyle strategies
Perimenopause & Midlife Mental Health
Perimenopause and midlife can bring significant changes in mood, stress tolerance, sleep, concentration, confidence, and overall wellbeing.
For many women, these changes occur alongside demanding careers, caregiving responsibilities, relationship changes, ageing parents, and other major life transitions.
Therapy provides a supportive space to better understand what you are experiencing and develop practical strategies that support wellbeing and resilience during this stage of life.
Areas of focus may include:
Anxiety, depression, and mood changes
Stress, irritation and emotional overwhelm
Sleep difficulties
Identity and life transitions
Confidence and self-worth
Building sustainable routines and self-care practices
ADHD & Cognitive Assessments
In addition to therapy, Axis Within Psychology provides comprehensive psychological assessments for adults seeking greater clarity around ADHD, executive functioning, cognitive abilities, and learning-related difficulties.
Assessments can help identify underlying strengths and challenges, clarify diagnosis where appropriate, and provide practical recommendations to support work, study, and everyday functioning.
Assessment services include:
Adult ADHD Assessments
Cognitive Assessments (WAIS-IV)
Educational Assessments (WIAT-III)
Specific Learning Disorder Assessments, including dyslexia, dysgraphia and dyscalculia
Each assessment includes a comprehensive clinical interview, evidence-based assessment measures, a detailed written report, and a feedback session to discuss the results and recommendations.

How We Work Together
All care begins with an individual Initial Consultation.
This session provides an opportunity to explore what has brought you to therapy, gain an understanding of your current concerns, and discuss your goals for support.
Together, we will identify priorities for therapy and develop an approach that feels practical, personalised, and aligned with your individual circumstances.
Ongoing therapy is delivered via secure telehealth and tailored to your unique needs, goals, and life circumstances.
Integrated & Individualised Care.
Many women experience a combination of anxiety, burnout, ADHD-related challenges, emotional overwhelm, and major life transitions.
Rather than forcing these experiences into separate categories, therapy is tailored to your individual circumstances, goals, and needs.
The focus is on providing practical, evidence-based support that helps you better understand what is contributing to your difficulties and develop strategies that support long-term wellbeing.
Questions Before Getting Started?
If you're unsure where to begin, an initial consultation provides a supportive space to explore your current concerns, gain clarity around what you're experiencing, and discuss the most appropriate next steps.
