Julie Taylor Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, RCS
ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, sometimes present as ADD without hyperactivity. People with ADHD find it difficult to maintain attention to a topic that doesn't particularly interest them... Although they are also able to concentrate more deeply than most of topics they find fascinating. Impulse control is another symptom they may have trouble with, among other symptoms, most of which can be addressed successfully.

Tina Presta
Counsellor/Therapist, CPCA MPCC- Provisional, CCPCPR.Cand
I provide comprehensive counselling support for individuals navigating a wide range of personal, emotional, and situational challenges. I often work with neurodivergent and ADHD clients.My practice specializes in helping clients manage the pressures of perfectionism, high-achievement, and burnout, while offering dedicated space for navigating men’s issues, women’s issues (including perimenopause), and the unique complexities of ADHD or neurodivergence. I offer compassionate guidance for those experiencing mild depression, anxiety, low mood, or profound loneliness, helping you build self-compassion and emotional regulation strategies. Additionally, I support individuals walking through major life disruptions and hardships, including life or career transitions, divorce and relationship strain, grief, and loss of direction. No matter the challenge, my goal is to help you slow down, understand your patterns, and build a more intentional, resilient path forward.
